Hi guys!

I am new here and to this topic and I guess what I want sounds strange to you. I am already 1,85 which is 6'1 in American measurements and I feel to short. I would like to be at least 1,92. I have read about limb lengthering and I am scared about the costs and risks. I am from Germany and we have one famous doctor here, his name is Dr. Betz, and the price for a surgery is expensive as hell. I will never be able to afford 60k for this surgery in Germany.

So, my question is: Is there any cheap and trustworthy doctor that offers LL? My max would be 15k.

Futhermore, I have put inlays in my shoes and I reach 1,88 and I still feel short. I know this must sound very strange to you but this is the way I feel.

Thanks in advance.

I'd kill to be as tall as you but I kinda understand you. Germans are naturally tall and you should come across lots of guys 6'3+ on a daily basis hence your height insecurity. Well, your best bet would be internal on femurs but it's quite expensive, you could reach 7-8cm on that alone. If going for something cheaper is your priority then do tibias with externals, you'll save money but it's brutal as you'll be bedridden for months and the farthest you can go is 5-6cm.
I still think, though, that in your case surgery is kinda extreme. Your problem is in your head, you are not short, not tall either but above average. 6'1 is a great stature to be as a male anywhere in the world even in Western countries. Will still there be guys taller than you that will make you feel "inferior" per se, yeah of course but 6'1 is manly and you can attract, arguably, any girl at that height so I think you should just own it. LL is risky and a trade-off between getting taller and sacrificing your athletic abilities. I'd prefer any day to be 6'1 but able to run normally and play sports at my best level than to be 6'3 or 6'4 and semi-crippled, struggling to jog let alone play sports and possibly feel pain anytime you do anything physical that involves your legs. So yeah, this isn't a walk in the park. You probably would like someone to come here and pat your back, incentivize you to get this done, tell you everything will be alright and you'll live happier ever after but that's not the reality here, that's a fairytale. I'm not saying for you not to get LL just alerting so you can be aware of the risks.

Thank you for your answer! I appreciate it so much. I  am using inlays and reach 1,88 and with boots even 1,91 but still feel the need of getting taller.

So you say that you would rather do nothing? Isn't it possible to grow a bit with hormones or through stretching and hanging?

Thanks!

Nah man
your case is not stange but my friend .You pay what you get.
Dr Betz is not expensive compare to american doctors.
But only 15k .You can afford only indian docs.They will ruin your beautiful life.
My advice is You have to wait till u can afford best doctor in US or Betz or Guichet(france) not spanish docs

[Canon]

Betz is just a 2 hours drive from my home away. But I cant believe the prices for such things. I will never be able to pay 50k for a surgery like this.

I am sure that you have psychiatrists much more near. And they are relatively cheap.
Go there, some pills may help you.

Hey bro best of luck if you do go through with it can you answers a few questions for research purposes if you don’t mind

1 what is your sitting height
2 what is your wingspan
3 what is your morning height
4 what is your inseam

Obviously if you don’t want to answer it’s ok I’m just curious and on that Russian doctors tend to be quite popular here their more cheaper then American doctors the only problem is that I can’t name any because I really don’t know many but their are a few diaries about them on this forum, not sure if their cheaper then your German doctors though so hopefully I helped a little

Hey man!

I have to measure it but what is your intention behind it? I will post it when I have measured.

I want the information because my lengthening goal is around 6’1-6’2 and what to know if I’d be proportionate at that height

What's your current height/wingspan? I'm curious because my goal is around 6'0-6'1.

Chill, he's probably only looking at tall people and ignoring all the people who are shorter than him. He's almost 2 standard deviations above the norm, hopefully he'll properly evaluate this before he wastes lots of time and money.

That could be true. A lot of guys are shorter than me but nevertheless, the more height you have the more attractive you appear and that is the reason I want to be taller. Yesterday I walked through the city with my shoes and inlays that give me 3cm more and I have to say, I am taller than most other guys with 1,88.

Maybe I am a bit crazy but I just love to look good and a good height is the basis for that.

[ThatGuy]

Why not just start lifting? You're already in the 90th percentile when it comes to height just become a swole god.

[Canon]

I already lift and have a well built physique and that is the reaso I want to be taller because it looks more attractive when you are aller with a good physique.

[Canon]

What do you mean by swole god? By the way I measured right now pretty correctly in the morning and I have 1,86cm. With shoes and inlays I reach 1,88-1,91

[6'2_dream]

friend you with 1.85 if you do daily stretches you can quietly reach 1.88 is a very common thing some people present even better results,
but is very common between 1cm and 2.5cm are correcting posture and with daily stretches,

[Mr.Bone]

You rightfully feel short, because 6'1'' is barely over average now. It isn't what it used to be 10, 20 years ago. You definitely should do leg lengthening.

In what galaxy can one gain 3 cm with "stretches"? Why did everyone claim that stretches where BS and don't work and only LL works? And now all of sudden you are recommending stretches for insane 3 cm? Can you link to these stretches?

[Johnson1111]

6'1" is not short anywhere in the world except for certain countries with populations much smaller than Texas. Even then in those countries, it's not considered "short".

 Average male height for a white man in the US is 5'10.6" and the average height for non white males is shorter than that. Chinas average male height is 5'9". Also Indias average male height is 5'6".

That's about a third of the world right there already.

Telling someone 6'1" to get LL is absolutely ridiculous and ignorant. NOBODY needs LL at 6'1".

[d123123asd]

Well, I can relate to everything you said mate, since i'm 6'1 too, i'm considering LL with Paley to reach 6'3, when I wear 2 inches insoles, I feel fu**** great, for real. I understand when most of users here get surprised or mad when someone who's 6'0+ asks about LL, however, since the average worldwide height is increasing, I honestly think it's completely normal to consider undergoing LL. I watched Dr. Paley's workshop presenting the Stryde and he talked about a Dutch guy who was 6'0 and wanted the lengthening and Paley declined because he thought it was a high height already. However, he stated that nowadays he would do it since it's not his job and it's not up to him to judge the patient choice, whether it's ethical or not for those who are shorter. So yeah, if you know you will feel better being taller, go for it, it doesn't matter what other people say, whether they're taller, shorter or at same height because the patient will eventually choose LL based on his own esteem, experiences and judgements.

So u feel self conscious and get anxiety over kids who are now 10 years old, being 0.25inches taller on average than their previous generation once they hit 18? That's what you're worried about and getting LL over? lol. Good luck man.

If you want to properly mog other men and outcompete you absolutely DO NEED LL at 6'1''.

I never said 6'1'' was short, I said it was barely over average and that is not enough for modern women.

They want minimum 6'2'' and up, preferably 6'4''.

Lol this is not an incel forum. Nobody here cares about “mogging” men or breaking our legs and permanently injuring ourselves for club skanks.

Most people here have legitimate problems with their height. Not vulnerable narcissism.
