I have been searching for patient stories from russia and got these before and after pics from their site (ruscom)
First one says its 6 CM gain but it isn't impressive as much as I thought it would be.

Of course these patients look good after the height gain but when you compare before and after it's kind of disappointing to me. Any thoughts?

sorry about posting on the wrong section
-
are all these 6cm?
They do look insignificant.
The best way to know if LL is worth it is to wear 2 inch lifts and go to a public place where no one knows you. If you feel no difference, then it's not worth it.

Lets be honest, difference of height between people outside are quite insignificant. It's only on internet that everybody is about 6'5.
So yes with 6cm you will feel a difference.

Yes I think people should wear lifts or some thick shoes and then see if it makes any difference. I saw a video of some guy who did 3 inches and in his before and after pics he almost looks the same.

What matters is not the difference you see from these images, it is how you will feel after become 6+cm taller. Do as others have recommended and try walking around with 5+cm insoles and you will see the huge difference it makes.

That's true, what matters the most is how you feel about yourself after.

Except from the first pics the second and third have a good difference between pre and after.
But the difference is good trust me. With people that I was the same height now I am obviously taller. Now their head ends where are my eyebrows.

Thank you for your opinions guys. I now kinda understand why some people willingly risk couple more cms to reach at least 3 inches
-
There is about 2 or 3 eyes level between before and after.
At that point you will feel the difference.

If you feel that the difference in these pictures is not great, take a positive stance on this. If a 6 cm difference looks insignificant, it doesn't only mean that you won't become much taller after LL. It also means that a person who is 6 cm taller than you is only insignificantly taller. That's a good thing, isn't it?

To be honest, if I was outside and seeing 2 people with these height differences, I probably wouldn't even notice it, if at all. Especially when people are always slouching and leaning on stuff and walking and being from a different perspective. I think it's when it's like, 1/2 of a head taller that I really start noticing a height difference.
That's why I think LL is not for average height people, because it will really change nothing, other than maybe how you perceive yourself.

its quite significant. the ones on the left look stockyish while the right looks more lankyish.

Which is what matters the most at the end; how you see yourself, and not how others see you.

Yes height difference looks significant. Here is my pic with my same friend, before and after I wear a 10cm heel. You can guess the difference in the height gain from this.

2-3 inches is noticeable in real life. You haven't factored in body weight, muscle size, ethnicity (skin color) and gender.

IRL people don't really notice height differences until they get to 3 inches or so plus imo. That's why a 5'10 guy can be seen as about 6'0 by many people etc.
While a 6 cm height difference doesn't seem like much, it will change people's perception of your height.
Even at my height I have friends who I am not sure if they are 5'11 or 6'+, it's just hard for me to tell depending on things like posture and footwear, and I'm only a couple of inches from 5'11 in lifts.
