Original is 164/165cm. Other one should be 178.5 (I only stretched the actual part that would be affected, arms left original state)
It's 8cm Femur and 6cm tibia. I feel very anxious about my height and I have been for a very long while and being this height would solve every problem in my life (except for the fatness hehe but that's something I don't mind)
What do you guys think? Could I accomplish this? How should I do it? "Cheapest way" while still being safe? Ty in advance.

Ah nice mock ups you've made (speaking specifically about the quality they've been made). Wondering if you could help me in the near future.
Anyways, yeah that seems doable segment wise. 8 CM is my personal max for femurs; and 6 for tibia. I won't ever go anything over 5 on either though, but that's just me.
Anyways, besides the massive (and I do mean massive) hit your proportions would take, it's a goal that can in theory be accomplished. I firmly believe 10 CM+ is too much though, and in your case, just doing 10 CM would put you at average, so consider that.
As for the cost, there is no easy way to do it. In your case do femurs first and see how that goes, then decide whether you would go for tibia. And when it comes to femurs I would only ever recommend internal, which is an expensive method already... at that I would only recommend Paley and Guichet.

Your legs look too long with that much lengthening. Also your tibia looks really long even in the original picture, if the picture isn't misclicked somehow and your tibia is really long, I'd definitely say do femurs for 8cm. Internal femurs are very expensive.
In theory, 8+6 could work because that's the safety cap for both segments.

I'm thinking about contacting Parihar because I can afford him I think. Do you know his price for 7cm or so femur?

Yeah it looks kind of overkill. I am 14-15cm shorter than avg in my country (Sweden) though. So that's really unfortunate for me...
Why not external femurs? Is it risky?

I know what you mean, im in similar situation. Living in a tall european country and even after 10cm i can be downside average.

Because it's painful af.

For femurs, you'd have to use an internal nail like Precice 2. With taxes and everything it's cost approx $45K+, but I think that includes the deposit we get back on returning the Precice lengthening equipment. If you're not from Mumbai, you'll have to pay for travel and stay too.
Maybe take more pictures in case that one makes your tibias look a bit long by accident. Tibias wouldn't be nearly as expensive.

I tried measuring it was quite hard but I think both tibia and femur are 30cm.
Also, I think my armspan is 170cm.
-
That is impossible, femurs are the longest bones in the body.
-
Yeah it's not accurate at all it's hard to measure bone length on my own.
-
X-rays is your option, if you are now 165, my advice would be to do both segments, 6 in each one, dont past that, because +15 even +10 is quite a lot.

I am thinking about Parihar's tibia 6cm.
-
Yeah, I have been following the diary of Penguinn and femurs are too expensive, you have to consider possible complications, 6 with LON is a lot more affordable. Maybe I will do femurs, because my budget doesnt allow me such cost in the near future. Parihar is a very good option for tibias.
-
@Alu ironic about the quality?
-
As in how good the presentation is, the actual product to me isn't the best though...
-
External tibia seems like the best option. Maybe femurs when Im older with unlimited budget :)
-
OMG!! No, you don't look good in the mockup. Don't pass 5cm on tibias. If you decide to do both then don't pass 10-11cm. You will look like a freak!
-

Better tall in first place!
I say 5cm external tibia and 6 cm internal femur.
PS.: How in the world did he do this mock-up?!
-
Yeah the mockup was just the extreme. Nothing realistic at all and way too weird.
-

I think I will contact Parihar and try to do 5-6cm on tibia. Then femur maybe when I get older. Just 6cm taller would make life a lot better.
-
The problem with external fixators about I am concerned is pin site care, was it easy or really hard?
-
Hard? No. Annoying? Probably.
-
If I do tibias I will pay a doctor for doing it, is that possible?
-
If you mean cleaning it then no, patients usually clean pin sites by themselves.
-
Nurses can clean them too
-
I think the mock up quality is very bad :-\
-
Nurses are awesome!!!!
-
Bad lightning and bad camera.

Trust me 178 is more than enough, don't listen to this garbage average height. Sweden's average is not 181 at all, they're tall ok but 181 is not the average. people always lie when it comes to height

Age 25-34 is 181.3 and that's from measurement not from people just reporting it themselves. Trust me. My school class is like 25 people and atleast 5-6 of the guys are over 190. Only 2 below 170 (me and one other).

but the majority maybe around 178? the only thing the average is 181 is because the really tall one 195 cm push the percentage up. but the most are 177-179 range

No, Kaiser, this is the horrible reallity.

Who gives a crap. As long as you're not below 170 CM (worldwide) and significant'y taller then the average girl, I really don't see what all the crying is about average. Being just 1 or 2 inches below it isn't going to make your entire life crap. You guys are so easy to discount the fact that there are just as many tall people (those above average) as there are short people (below or significantly below average). And they live their lives just fine; you don't see a tidal wave of short men (and I mean short) in this forum... in fact you see more people just barely below average then short... wonder what that says about you guys...

And it's not only here, on r/short majority of people whinning are between 5'8-5'10. Just damn..

Really?... like really really?
I haven't been in r/short in ages since it's much more toxic than here. But, if that's the case wow lol. At this point I'm not at all phased by the comments there then.

I am 166. If I was 5cm below average I wouldn't care. I'm 15cm below average. I am the average woman height (25-34 its actually 168cm for women). I just pointed it out since being that much shorter than average makes it more important to me. Only 5% are shorter than me, they are not happy here in Sweden.

I think Alu ment that it doesn't really matter if average height is 5'10 or 6' as long as you are not really short.
-

Yeah, but I think we only feel short because we compare ourselves to other men. If the average men height was 5ยด5 we wouldn't even feel short.

ok is that mean if you find a 152 cm woman she will decline you because you're bellow average?
-
Yes. Even if she can choose between 165 and 180 she will choose 180.
-

God, i already explained that kind of statements.
First of all, not every would choose the taller one and second human attraction is a bit more complicated than just pure looking at height.
Example: Why one girl from my old class had crush on me(I was 5'5 back then and she was solid 5'7) than my best buddy which was around 6 foot?
-
There are exceptions for everything. I just responded to Kaiser's comment.
-
It's because you compare social worse to better.
It's like going to some Male audience and ask them "Which women would you choose? One with A-Cup or D-cup?"
Ofc they will choose bigger tits but you need to know that attraction is way more than just 1 trait.
That's my few cents, i just hate that kind of comparison:
Yes. Even if she can choose between 165 and 180 she will choose 180.
I get that you obviously will have harder time but is it impossible? nah.
-
A lot of people come on here planning 2 segments. Seriously guys plan one step at a time. This isn't a game or a walk in the park. Only plan for your first segment. When your done your first segment see if that is enough for you or your height phobia is cured.if not, Then go to the second part.
Doing both segments takes extreme dedication and 99.9 percent of you including me don't have that. And why would you make yourself think one operation is not enough from the start....

Yeah it's not impossible but it's essentially fat vs muscular, but worse.
