5’8 what to do ? Some sound advice needed
« on: February 10, 2019, 03:40:50 PM »

I’m 5’8, if I wanted to be 6 foot is that possible or is it to extreme ??

I’m saw the safe amount is like 2 or 3 inches which seems pointless.

Come on lads l, what’s your thoughts ?

Yes the absolute safest limit is 5 cms(2 inches). If you absolutely want to be 6 feet then do a total of 10 cms but spread those between the two segments( 5+5 ) in femurs and tibia respectively.

If I was 5’8 I wouldn’t do it but hey everyone is different and so are their goals.

Yeah I hear you, I keep trying to justify the procedure but keep coming up short ( pun intended) I personally know girls who have nose cheek and boob jobs but what I want seems less hassle when you think that they never stop at having procedures.

I will look but, do you happen to know a price of a 10 cm ( split ) procedure ?

Depends on the surgeon you go to. If you go to Paley then it would cost you anywhere between 200k to 225k for quadrilateral lengthening. But remember it’s a very long and arduous process.
I suggest u read override your genetics diary to get a clear picture about what you can expect out of this.
Cheers mate

Once you reached 6 it won't be enough. I. Am 6 foot 1 and want to be 6 foot 2.
