Quote from: Morgenst. on February 04, 2016, 12:00:39 PM163cm, I'm looking to hopefully do 5cm tibias and 6 - 7cm femurs some years after that. I've accepted I might look like an anime character with the longer legs but I dont fking care so much haha


Same boat here. Planning on doing 6cm tibias then 6cm femurs 3-4 years after. I guess I'm a bit lucky I have wide shoulders and longer wingspan. Sucks to be so short and having to go through 2 ops just to be below average. I feel like I'm going to miss a lot of opportunity and fun in college because of my height. I'm planning on doing tibs after I get my Associate's Degree in Community College then maybe find a job, earn money for 2nd LLS, then go to a University.

That's exactly what I'm doing too. I'll have my associates this year and afterwards do my tibias. Then 2 to 3 yrs after I should have enough savings to go a top rate internal Doctor. I agree with the arm length comment, my arm span is 170cm and I have friends at 5'8 and such with similar lengths so I dont see myself looking disfigured or anything doing 11 to 12cm total.

I have this same way of thinking. I had a great dose of missed opportunities at college because of my height Anybody?
 By the way Morgenst. does your nickname come from the rammstein song? haha

Low Five, brotha! I'll definitely save up for internal femoral lengthening. Since you seem to be a bit older than I, I'll be looking forward to your first LL diary a couple years from now(maybe?).

Just for you guys to know, you are not missing any college life. Life goes on well beyond college (And I mean that special part in life that colleges are famous to have)

Definitely man, I don't care much for the college experience since I'm already 22 but the career I want is one where aesthetics are very much valued above else. My tibia diary should be here by the end of the year, hopefully femurs will be in less than 5.

Being the shortest on an LL forum...actually doesn't feel as bad as it should. Anybody?

My goal is to do about 7cms on femurs. Since I'm like 5'2 or sliiiighty more it'll get me to 5'5. I won't do more than 1 LL and I'm going to be reasonable. I just hope 7cm longer femurs don't look too awkward.

I was too pre-LL and did ~8cms on my femurs.  I'm ok with my proportions and satisfied with the trade off I made for more height, but I do feel like I maxed out my femurs and any longer would look noticeably weird.

Do you personally feel like you could do more on the tibia if you wanted too?
