Hello,

I just had bone lengthening surgery and am lengthening my tibia.
my height: 172.5 cm
arm span: 174-175cm
sitting height: 90cm

I want to raise tibia by 7 cm and femur by 8 cm.

final height 187.5cm

the only question is whether the proportions will become so ridiculous that I will look like a dwarf on stilts.

The guy from lifeLiveTaller lengthened his legs by 20 cm and, honestly, it's a little noticeable, but the profit is so big that it outweighs the costs.

[AnotherLLer]

6 inches is too much and it's not only about looking uncanny post lengthening but more importantly losing your function for many years if not permanently.

If you insist on lengthening that much, the final outcome depends on your leg to body ratio. If your leg to body ratio exceeds 0.51, you will look like dwarf on stilts.

Even I, who have very short legs and very big trunk, will look uncanny after 12 cm of lengthening as my leg to body ratio will exceed 0.51.

IMO, no living man can look good nked after 12 cm of total lengthening unless he had comically short legs to begin with. And Sedat from LLT had very short and bowed legs, it was a disability, he was not normal, that's why he looks good after 20 cm of lengthening, but no normal man will look good after even 15 cm of lengthening, 20 cm is just insane.

[amorfati]

Is the leg-to-body ratio measures from the ground to the protruding hip bone?

[AnotherLLer]

No, it measures from outer ankle to femoral head. It's very hard to measure exactly without taking x-rays. Basically, it's the same as femur bone length + tibia bone length. If you measure your femur and tibia bone lengths (including their heads from both ends) on x-rays, you will get your exact leg length.

My tibia is about 35 cm, so femur in theory should be 43-44 cm. So, my total leg length is anywhere between 78-79 cm. Measuring femur bone without x-rays is very hard, I just multiply my tibia length to 1.25 (in accordance to 0.8 tibia / femur ratio) and get about 43-44 cm. Now, there are some men who have very short femurs, closer to their tibia length. I don't think I have that short femur as I feel that my tibia / femur ratio is very close to 0.8.

Now, 78 / 165 = 0.4727 and 79 / 165 = 0.4787.

If I lengthen 12 cm total at 78 cm current leg length, it will become (78 + 12) / 177 = 0.5084 and if I lengthen 12 cm total at 79 cm current leg length, it will become (79 + 12) / 177 = 0.5141.

As you can see, if my leg length is 79 cm, 12 cm lengthening is already pushing it as my leg to body ratio will exceed 0.51.

For me, the limit is 11 cm total lengthening before I start to look uncanny nked.

[AnotherLLer]

According to this formula:

stature = 38.94 + 2.95 x femur length

165 cm = 38.94 + 2.95 x femur length so my femur length should ideally be 42.73 cm so very close to 43 cm.

[AnotherLLer]

And, according to this formula:

Height (cm) = 123 + 1.24 X tibial length (cm)

My tibia length should be 165 cm = 123 + 1.24 x tibia length so it should be 33.87 cm, again, very close to 35 cm measurement I made by myself.

[ebook12345]

femur: 44,56cm
tibia: 34,67 cm

add: 44,56 + 34,67 = 79,23
my height: 172.5cm

ratio legs to all height: 0,4593

Ratio tibia vs femur: 0,7782

[AnotherLLer]

There's no way you're 7.5 cm taller and have exact same tibia length as me and just 1-1.5 cm more femur length.

[ebook12345]

idiot, I have x-rays, not your measurement with a ruler.
your talk is worthless.

[Grateful]

That's a great explanation, I am also 165 with 38 cm tibias and 43 cm femurs,(got xrayed) , planning to get quadrilateral 12 cm, it'll become 93/177 = 0.525, my leg to body ratio will go high.

[AnotherLLer]

IMO stick to 10 cm for better recovery and proportions. Solid 175 cm is enough for a man. Additional 2 cm will not make that much difference TBH. It will just make the recovery much harder though.

[amorfati]

OK, thanks for the answer, very informative.

[Temoc]

Be careful with 7cms on tibias, big chance of permanent damage. 5 cms is much safer and you would still be pretty tall at over 185.

[ebook12345]

I started lengthening my tibia. my goal is 6-7cm.
Keep fingers crossed.

[onedaytall]

Good luck! Are you planning to follow with femurs right after recovery, or quadrilaterally, or when? I'm considering quadrilateral and that's why I'm asking

[lucindaris]

What clinic?

[AverageSizeGuy]

Wow, I've got so many questions.

Where are you getting the surgery? What's the clinic? Dr's Name? How much does it cost you? How many Stages does your procedure have?

[Beemer m3]

some guy already lengthen that much with limbplastix

[dominikochal]

I understand that i will not proportions but gain is more.

The best height is 6.1 and 6.2.

Find video in YT when girls rejected short guys.
We do only for womans.

[AnotherLLer]

dominikochal:

WTF man, you think that if a man is not 6'1 or 6'2 he is miserable with women? Where do you live? I know that women prefer tall guys but you paint such a picture as if you don't reach 6'1 with double LL, it's not worth it but it's not true. That guy who got crippled at Yuksel Yurttas probably also thought that way and that's why he did LL at 5'11 and wanted to reach 6'1. He probably thinks the same way and attributed his lack of success with women to his height (at least partially, but in reality height was not his issue at all).

You and others who think that way sound very delusional and think that all the men around the globe who fall between 5'7-5'11 struggle with women and only 6'1 and taller guys have no issues with them. I see many 5'7, 5'8 and 5'9 men in the streets with all kinds of women imaginable (short, tall, skinnny, curvy, blonde, brunette, etc.).

Imagine Jason Statham without fame and money, do you think he would struggle with women at his height of 5'8-5'9?

Now, below 5'7 is legit handicap for majority of men, no matter how good looking and athletic he might be. IMO strong 5'8 is enough for good looking and fit men in order not to be handicapped in dating. More is better but I prefer not to exceed 9 cm in total and settle at 174 cm rather than become crippled and reach 178-180 cm.

Now, you might say that Jason Statham would be jerking off in his home if he wouldn't be famous and reach because he's not 6'1 and hovers over 5'8. That's up to you to believe that. I see many men around Jason's height who look very masculine and well groomed & dressed who don't give a fk about being average height because they got other attributes of manliness that attract women and they know it.

If I was at least strong 5'8 I would never consider this surgery (even for one segment), but at 5'5 things are really hard and I'm going to gain at least 9 cm in two surgeries. I'm not willing to lengthen my femurs for 8-9 cm due to proportions and biomechanics, that's why I'm splitting that amount in two segments in two surgeries.

I bet that if a man at 5'8-5'9 range is unable to attract women, he won't be able to attract them at any height above it.

It's not a matter of your faith, fool, but of scientific research.

There is a study that checks that if the only factor was height, a guy with a height of 170 has 25% acceptance (3/4 of women will reject him), while a man with a height of 180 will have about 75% acceptance (1/4 of women will only reject him).

So I don't give a damn about your faith. Research counts.

[AnotherLLer]

Keep believing that when you become 5'11 75% of women will accept you.

At 5'8 if a man has decent physique and is very handsome, he can have much better dating life than average looking, narrow framed 6 footer.

So I don't give a damn about your faith. Research counts.

If the only factor was height? But in real world it isn't, is it? I can confirm as a 5'8 guy who has other things going for me besides height, that women on average are more attracted to me than most guys I know, who usually are taller than me. I'm sure if I was few inches shorter it would be more challenging. I "almost" feel the effects of height, but not quite. I totally get why men shorter than me can be obsessed about getting LL. But a guy who is 5'7 - 5'11 if he has spent enough time outside his room and done some work on himself, should know that at least height in this range is not the crippling factor that some people on internet want to pretend it is. It's too convenient to blame everything in your life on something that you have no control over (unless again you are truly short).

That being said, good luck to your LL, surely your results will be awesome. I would also take it a bit easy on the goals especially for tibia. Will be following your journey and what effects you will find on the other side once you've recovered, since we have the same starting height!

187 or nothing, bro. 

Meanwhile, there are guys ranging between 173-178 who never think about getting this surgery because they don't need it to get women.

But, 165 guys have legit reasons to consider getting at least one LL of 8 cm, preferably 10-11 cm quadrilateral.

OMG that cartoon, best thing today!

[Beemer m3]

lol the cartoon reminds me of the mirnee guy posting. talks like him but without the lesbians part.

[ebook12345]

Gentlemen, if this picture were reality, this forum would not exist. We all know that height is as important as a pretty face or muscles.
This picture, even more so here, is stupid.

Today I am 0.6cm taller. I still have 5.4-6.4cm left - keep your fingers crossed.

I am a person that wants 7cm on the tibias. However, I am also willing to settle for 6.5 cm.
Anyways, your goal is also 7cm on the tibias. Therefore, I am really interested in how you recover
as I am likely going to undergo precice in October of this year. 

Also, you might be interested in my background so I will provide one. I am currently about 177 cm (5'10").
I am only interested in doing precice on the tibas. I want to be little more than 183 cm (6') after finishing tibial lengthening.

No one doubts that someone 5ft 8 and handsome and with a good physique can get women. How's that remotely relevant to leg lengthening though?

You can pay rent and survive on a job that pays $25,000, so I guess you shouldn't want a job that pays $50,000 instead by that logic.

Well as stupid as it maybe was to bring such debate to OP:s lengthening diary... I'll say that of course it is relevant to leg lengthening from the point of view of our attractiveness (which to many is maybe main reason for LL, along with being treated with more respect). All these factors contribute to it. Of course everyone wants double salary. That's why I'm on the forum too. But ignoring one aspect doesn't do any good, whether one is ignoring height or any other aspect of ourselves. You maybe feel we were ignoring the effect of height while hyping up other aspects, but it's more of a response to a general sense of "let's ignore every other aspect and focus only on height" that is in the minds of many who bought a bit too much to the whole "What do you call a guy who is under 6 foot? A friend hihihihi" thing.

No, it's not relevant at all tbh. Nobody has ever said that height is the only thing that matters, that's just a strawman you muh therapy and muh confidence cucks like to bring up to attack.

If you're 5ft 8 and handsome and get women, your height is still affecting you negatively. You'd get more women or better quality women if you were 6ft. Your argument is the typical normie mutually exclusion fallacy. Both height and face matter. Improving the height does not imply in the slightest you believe that your face (or physique, whatever) isn't important.

Basically, this is like someone saying 'remember to shower in the morning', and someone else saying 'showers aren't important if you don't brush your teeth, you'll still be repulsive'. Yeah bro, you need to do both.
