I had LL in 2007 and I'm still here. Ask me anything!

So many conflicting posts on this forum about the difference in life but reading your replies, it seems like going from 5'7 to 5'10 was a massive change (hence why you want to do LL again). I'm 5'6 looking to go 5'9. So from short to average. I currently wear 3in lifts around all the time, it's getting tiring. I agree with you, I want to do this surgery because I think I will look much more well proportioned. I have a feeling like you, I'll want to also do tibia to get 5'11 cause why not. I'm 22. Planning to get both surgeries before 25. I have the money and work environment, just need to find the right doctor and nail.

Average is good enough.  No average person should do this to their body.  My jump from 5'9 to 5'10 during that final month of LL was all about my being greedy, wanting that 32" inseam so I could wear men's pants off the rack.  As you can see from this thread I was 100% not doing another LL until the move to a very tall country was decided upon.  Not wanting to be short again and not wanting more LL were the biggest reasons against the move, but I decided the move had to happen regardless.

Then people who know you will be used to your being 3" taller, and getting to 5'11 would make them suspicious.  Another reason not to do it.

During the 3 months of lengthening, during that time with all of your living expenses, medical expenses, etc

1. What are the most common things (aside from doctor choice) people skimp out on and should probably pay more for?

2. What are some common things people pay too much on and should probably go for cheaper options?

I don't know.  Mine was an all-inclusive package.

In all your time in the LL community what are the longest lengthenings you've seen in cosmetic patients?

Edit Post

I knew a guy who did 20 cm in a year (10 and 10 back to back).  He was my roomate for a while in Beijing.  When I went back for my nail removal some current patients said he was still there when they first got there.

I am a very inflexible person.

Athletic but extremely inflexible

Regular muscular gym physique at 5'8. You were saying that those with poor flexibility will have a lower threshold for safeness than 5cm?

I don't know about safeness, but you'll have more pain.
