recommended height gain for me? 6'0 at 16, final height going to be roughly 6'1, feel free to share your thoughts on ideal height and surgical distribution of total lengthening on the tibia/femur.

it's worth mentioning my femur and tibia have the average balanced ratio--1.28:1. i also have negative ape index so i don't wanna take it too far

asking for input

I do
 
Not to burst your bubble but you are no way in hell getting LL. Unless you are severely autistic and delusional or just mentally deficient, you are not getting it at 6’1.

thanks for writing a genuine response man, and yes i am pretty autistic and delusional but i'm willing to go about improving myself pragmatically. obviously the value western society puts in height is completely arbitrary, especially with social media skewing young people's perception. i get that i'm not short or anything, i've just always had an expectation for myself.

are you saying i'm not getting LL at 6'1 because professionals won't allow me to? are you saying that because i don't need it? or maybe because of the roi with unforgiving recovery + pricing? elaborate here

I say that primarily based on your age. At 16 you have very little idea of what this means, and once u do, you would find it comical that you even thought of such a thing standing at a very privileged 6’1. I am not throwing shade on LL itself, i think its a wonderful procedure that i myself plan on to get, standing at 5.75 current height. Although i find it completely logical to get it at my height, i am still leaving room for hesitations.
And no it is not worth the roi if your over 6 foot, not matter how you look at it, so get it out of your head and focus on facial aesthetics instead.

Another thing, dont mix conditioning/ trauma with autism, do not use autism as a reason for your retardation. If you really want to go down this path, think reasonably.

If you're 6'1 why are you getting LL?

i can definitely recognize at my age and experience level i'll jump to conclusions here and there and i'll be blind to the repercussions. that's why i think it's important i make these kinds of posts and engage with communities to get valuable feedback like this.
however, i think your response is very contradictory in nature.

-first of all, you say that i'll find it comical that i even thought of such a thing standing at a "privileged" 6'1.
i have serious family ties in taller regions of europe and when i'm older i'll definitely be living in said regions where younger guys will have an average height of 6'0+, putting me at an average range if not barely above average. you and i of all people should know some extra inches being added to your height will never do you more harm than good.

-second of all, you say that i have very little idea of what it means to get LL, implying that there are inherent serious risks (which i recognize) that should completely dissuade me from getting it at all. but then, you contradict this by saying you aren't throwing any shade on the surgery itself and think it's wonderful.
i get it, you're saying that it's not worth it at all for someone at my height, no matter how you look at it. but in a social context, i am not noticeably tall. call me greedy, but i want more. it's a superficial goal but i've always wanted to be 6'2+. you mention that i mixed conditioning/trauma with autism as if i haven't experienced the negative sides of heightism either. i was a very short height throughout all of middle school and the dominance games and disrespectful bullshit i had to deal with simply for existing was terrible, i wouldn't wish that against anyone and i myself don't wanna go through it ever again. anyways, it's as if i said i want to be 6'6+ or something. i don't wanna be anything over 6'4, 6'3 ideally. that's a very humble change. i have all the resources and time in the world to go from above average to undeniably tall. it's not as if i'll be unable to live happily or function normally at my final adult height, (assuming i even get to 6'1) but knowing i have the option to fulfill the expectation i have for myself, of course i'd want to pursue it.

also last funny little thing but i did focus on facial aesthetics, i'm in fact still completely committed to improving my face, but whenever i talk about that people tell me i'm autistic, delusional and overthinking it, and rather i should focus on height while i'm still growing. just kinda ironic :lul:

I cant go against your determination here. By thinking logically, i still don't agree with the roi. Maybe im blinded by my own case, idk. But i guess what would settle the difference would be if you are ready to handle the journey, including the chance of a complication. When i said you have little idea of what it means, i meant it literally, you would have to grasp what it means to go through it which i doubt you have the ability to at such a young age.
If you do decide go down this path, I hope it’s based on facts and potential outcomes, not on some lingering trauma from your childhood.

there's some truth to this, as i grow to be an adult there's no telling what kind opportunities life will have in store for me, and the lengthy recovery from LL surgery could possibly compromise the larger outcome of my quality of life. regardless, it would be a personal risk to my quality of life either way. not only do i want it really bad and i have the conviction, but compared to other people in my country i'll be invisible and LL could give me the edge to change that. i feel even with my situation it's completely justified and it's rare someone won't benefit from LL surgery. statistically speaking i've researched the rate of complications and it definitely poses a threat to my wallet and health but i just can't see myself living in any other way, tried so hard to love myself but nothing seems to work lol

Going from a millionaire to a billionaire doesn’t require you to go through an extremely invasive surgery with real complication risks and a long recovery time. It’s a good mindset to have, but you shouldn’t let it cloud your judgment

I get what you mean when you say 6’0 is average where you live and you want to stand out, but something as invasive as limb lengthening surgery should only be done if you truly are short, it’s hindering your social life, and you’re willing to go through the time, effort, and monetary loss for it.

As the other commenter said, your judgment at 16 compared to when you become an adult will most likely be drastically different so don’t assume your want for it now will remain. Feel free to consider it currently, but keep in mind, when you grow up, you’ll probably think you were a retard in retrospect. Anyway good luck

How many sessions for say 2.5 inches?

One bro, the maximum safe amount for the first session is 3.15 inches on the femurs, but if you turn out to have bigger femurs, which is not as common, then yes 2.5 for tibias
 
Why would you ever want LL at that height. Objectively, height is not the limiting factor in your SMV/quality of life or whatever metric u wanna use. The surgery will only fuck u up and change LITERALLY NOTHING.

Unironically it'd be smarter (and safer) to blast hgh and even that is kinda retarded. If you're really that autistic about height wear shoes with thick soles and if u go to partied wear lifts.

Your height is evidently not the problem if you struggle with a dating life, it's likely your face and maybe bc ur autistc/Nd
