Hey everyone!

I'm curious on everyone's opinion, I'm 172 tall and I really want get CLL but I'm not sure what to lengthening, Tibias or Femurs? I want to get pretty close to 6ft but without losing athletic ability. I'd like to know what doctors you would recommend, including the cost. Also how much time would I need away from home to recover - Take into account I have my own business. So I could work from the guest house or something until I'm deemed fit. Also I'm on a budget so something that's not going make a massive hole in the bank account!

To the gentleman who have decided to judge me so quickly, I'll remind you this is a friendly discussion not an opportunity to patronize. Thank you for respecting my view.

Now, I understand that 6ft is a long shot and YES you are right - I don't know what I'm talking about but I hope that people would be kind enough to talk to me from their experiences. I do however know by committing to CLL, my athletic ability will be effected and I'm fine with that. And honestly I think I would be happy with just lengthening 5cms either my Tibias or Femurs, it's decided which segment to do?

I would greatly appreciate it anyone who has done CLL and was my starting height to please get in contact with me as I would love to hear your journey!

I was even thinking if I was to go and do two segments I would only lengthen 3-4cm each. I think if I did that, there would be less risk and recovery time?

Applesandoranges: I agree with what your saying, I think it's just a matter of finding a Dr who would be willing to do two segments at a pretty small increase.

Bigpoppapump: I think it would still be worth it - I'm not trying be the tall, I just want to feel comfortable with my height. I'm pretty much an all-rounder, I do a fair bit of cardio ( swimming, running and boxing). I'm pretty flexible as I do yoga and I stretch everyday...

Can anyone recommend a Dr for my case? I'm on a tight budget so it would nice to get it all happening under $10,000, it might be wishful thinking but there's no harm in hoping.


Thanks guys!

Dreamof180cm - Yeah man, I know it's probably wishful thinking haha...and I did think about doing 5cm segments but that's starting become quiet expensive and impractical for me at this moment. 6cms for tibias was my other option as well so I might join you on that one! Well I was thinking sometime in the new year would be nice. What about you?

How much should I lengthen by and which segment? Also what would be the minimum cost for this procedure including living away from home etc..

Midnightninja- I think 4cms would be safe bet not too mention it sounds thinking of being 5'10 haha. Do you think my proportions will still be fine if I lengthen both segments or even just one? I'm not a proportion nazi but I'm worried how my torso and arms will look after lengthening...
