I am 182cm morning 180cm night (around 5'11). I think perfect male height is around 190cm or 6'2-6'3 and if I had the money to go with Paley I would consider LL to be around 188cm morning and 186cm night.
Minimum: an amount that gets me through this surgery without leaving as dire permanent effects, speaking in terms of hip and knee pain, stamina, increased risk of blood clots, etc. Sadly, it's almost impossible to find a diary where the patient went for the doctor's recommendation of only lengthening 10% of their initial bone length, and also kept writing to report back to us on how their recovery went, years after the whole process was finished. I'm just happy I can even increase my height.
Optimal: still unsure.
Maximum: 180cm/5'11. I don't want to stand out. 180cm would let me be considered average-ish even in the tallest countries of the world.

Sounds wise. What's your current height if you don't mind me asking - I am 5'6 (169 cm).

I can't help it, I come from a family of giants. Don't worry, I understand my 95-96cm torso isn't long enough to pull it off, my arms are way too short and I'd probably become a cripple attempting 6'7+.

I know its hard to get an accurate measurement of tibia/femur without getting a scan, but I think I'll be pretty close to 10% on both. Since I'm 5'8.5 and I wanna stay within my wingspan's range I'm only attempting 6'0/183cm and maybe a little more to be safe which will put me at about 12% for both tibia/femur. I'm only considering going slightly over 6'0/183cm to avoid any possible shrinkage from knocking me out of my ideal height. When I did the math I got 2.1 inches or 5.334cm for my femur and 1.92 inches or 4.8768cm for my tibias which will keep me as close as possible to the 10% initial bone length as humanly possible while reaching my goal. Hopefully this will be enough to avoid as many permanent effects of this procedure as possible.
Ideal is 6’2. Happy if I get to 5’10, really not about to kill myself. My arm span is 5’11 so think would look more proportional after ll.

Isn't a 95-96cm a lot for someone of your height? Too lazy to go look up that Dutch study.
I do have a feeling that the sons of tall parents, who ended up short, always tend to have bigger torsos and wingspans, like in your case, based on posts I've read from users of this website.

Yes it is, I have a 78cm inseam at 173-174cm, its pretty insane. After LL it'll be around 88-89cm. My current inseam ratio is around 44.82%, with LL it'll be 48.36% which isn't too bad. I've heard African Americans tend to have longer limbs too so it's probably even worse in my case. Also please post that dutch study I'd love to see it.
Nvm, I think I found it.

Is this it?
Yep, that's the one. The main study we reference around here for sitting height, despite the fact it is from the tallest nation in the world.
I'm not too crazy about proportions, so I haven't measured mine yet. I just know they vary widely. I have the exact same sitting height as this 6'1 guy I know, but he's of Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

Seriously? When you get the chance can you tell me your sitting height? my 5'11 friend has a longer torso than me and my 6'1-6'2 friend is also longer both are African American.
