Title: How many CM's could I do?
Post by: Justkeepgrowing on February 03, 2015, 01:51:27 AM: First time poster here

I am 23 and almost 5'8. Would I look ok with an added 3 or 4 inches? I am just beginning to research this crazy procedure and so far I am getting the idea that 5 cm on femur and 5 cm on tibia would be the safest bet and best chance at a near full recovery. I am an athlete and have become a passionate weight lifter over the past year, so recovery is important to me. I am years away from attempting this, but just thought I would get some educated opinions.

Your torso looks fine, but your armspan is needed to make a better inference. What is your arm span?

I will make sure to take a new pic when I get home. I just put my arms down and eyeballed it. Left a black mark on the pic where I guestimate my arms ends.

I know I am on the taller side for this procedure, but I think my life would drastically improve even If I was just 5'10. 5'11-6'0 would be a happy bonus if I can do it safely.

Yes. Your body seems nearly perfect so you should lengthen evenly on all 4 segments (tibias and femurs) if you can afford it that is.

Thank you for all the help. I am just beginning to do my research. Does the price vary on how much you lengthen? Or just one flat rate?

Most of the Doctors have flat rates.
