Starting height over 180cm/bow legs

Edit Post

How many people over 180cm have done LL? I'm 181, or 5'11, which is average these days as people seem to be getting taller: adding 5cm to be 186 or 6'1 would be a big boost.

I'm in my late 30s and enjoy keeping fit at the gym, occasional football, running and swimming, but I'm not a serious/competitive athlete. Also, I also have slightly bow-legged calves, and I understand that doing LATN would allow these to be corrected.

On this note, are there negative consequences of having non-corrected bow legs as you get older? As I said, I go to the gym, squat and leg press, and occasionally have slight knee pain, but nothing much. I have read that bow legs can lead to problems later in life, and I must admit that the idea of a "two-fer" - fixing my bow legs and gaining 5cm height - is quite appealing.

I could attach a photo of my legs to allow people to see the degree of bow-leggedness if anyone has knowledge of this issue and would be kind enough to have a look? Any and all learned comments welcome.

Hmm, it won't let me post. Says "The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator." But the photo is only 1.2MB. Could an admin possibly help?

Please excuse the background, lol. This is me with my feet together. Would you say it's an abnormal amount of bow?
