Height Increase surgery

This is something that I am looking into for cosmetic reasons. I am currently 5.7-5.8 inches tall but would like to be about 5.10-5.11 inches tall. I have read a lot about the procedure and from what I can tell I can expect about 5-10cm of growth but it will come with a great cost in terms of money, time and pain.

The reason why I am asking here for some advice is due to the healing process and if you guys had any ideas on certain compunds that would aid or increase the recovery process of the surgery.

Here are a few websites that give details on the surgery.

that is really disturbing to me that you would consider doing that kind of thing just because you dont like being average...

Kind of sickening actually... i would suggest a psychiatrist not a surgeon.

Believe me I know that it is not nearly the same thing but I am looking for advice like you mentioned.

Any other ideas besides GH?
 
Calf implants and pec implants are not uncommon in the sport however :)

Any natural ways to grow taller? I am 29 so at this point I think I am way past any more natural growth.

This is not something that I am 100% going to do. I am just investigating at this point.
 
That is scary. I am only 5 8" and ya i wish i was taller on occassion (like when i have to climb on the counter to reach top cupboard hehe) but i would never consider something so serious and potentially harmful. If you don't need to be taller in order to survive your motivation is likely fueled by your feelings of inadequacy in some areas and largely psychological not physical. Not trying to sound like an ass but its ok to be 5 8" or 7" . I think you should talk to someone about it (a good psychologist) before you make any decisions about operations. Best of luck man and please take your time with this one.

Im 6'2".... so I dont have a "little mans" point of view. That being said, I still dont think I would ever do something like that. The PAIN and RECOVERY would suck so god damn hard... the rehabilitation afterwards would blow ass... and the tremendous dent in my bank account would be enough in itself to keep me from it.

Now if you got cheese comin out the ass, and dont have anything else to spend it on... I guess go for it. In this day and age, if we are not happy with our bodies, there are options out there to alter your physical image to make you happy. And thats what its all about right? Being happy?

For me I'm happy when I dont have bones broken, im not laid up in bed for X days, and im not speding X amount of time re-strengthening my bones, and then X amount of time working to gain the muscle back that I lost from the surgery/recovery/rehab.

All in all I personally dont think its even close to being worth it. But like I said, im not short and have never had to worry or be self conscious about that.

I look back and say to myself wow another year has gone by. imagine if I could say the same but from that point on be 3-4 inches taller for the rest of my life.
 
im 6'5''.. maybe i want to knock off 4-5 inches.. someone break my shins for me so i can take the bones out and superglue the loose ends..

this surgery is ridiculous in my point of view.. but uh.. good luck i guess
 
I should mention that in general I have a small frame and stature. I am currently 5'7.5" and 137 lbs at 12.3% body fat.

My goal would be to be 5'11" 190-200 lbs at 8% or so.

It would take 18-24 months.

I don't care what a guy takes-enough steroids to kill an elephant etc. It's nowhere near the extremes of this kind of surgery. The anesthesia alone is enough to kill some people dead on the spot. This guy needs to punch his mom in the face for fucking the bastard that contributed to his 5ft 7 inch DNA. Afterwards he should find a sport where his lack of height might be an advantage-like a jockey or something???

My brother is 5'11.5"

I think I stunted my growth from very intense running in highschool.

I think the piunding on my joints did something.

The funny thing is that I used to be on of the taller kids in junior high and elementary school. I soht up to my current height and then just stopped.

so hit teh fucking gym and fit into a 44S

trust me, it will be a lot more satisfying than breaking your legs to get a couple inches taller...

and its not like the surgery would change your whole body structure, you would look like a HORRIBLY proportioned 5'11 guy, instead of a normal 5'7 guy

Im 5'7... yah sometimes it blows... i cant see over people at clubs.. people can see the top of my half balding head easier... but... i have plenty of positive features that make up for it...

What would REALLY suck would be being 6'5 260 with a 5 inch dick!! :worried:

What do you guys think about this?


Spinal Column Extension

Intensive scientific research and more than a decade of experiments also proved that most young adults can still increase their height by a few more inches even after the growth plates in their lower bodies have fused (commonly known as "fused bone plates"). This is because besides the length of the femur bone (thighbone), shinbone, and other bones in the lower body, the length of the spinal column in the upper body also significantly contributes to human height (about 35% of the total height).The thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become.

Human spinal column consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue). Out of these 33 vertebrae, only the lowest 9 are fused into two immovable bones, the sacrum and the coccyx, forming the back of the pelvis. All the other 24 vertebrae are permanently movable and thus will never be fused. These 24 vertebrae are the 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (back of chest), and 5 lumbar (loin).

Located between each of these 24 vertebrae are cartilaginous pads called disks. The thickness of the disks determines the length of the spinal column and directly influences the height. There are totally 25 disks, their combined length accounts 25% of your total height.

Since these disks are non-fusible cartilages, they can constantly grow thicker under the stimulation of growth hormone during a lifetime. The thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become. Even each disk grows only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) thicker. Hence, you can still grow 0.25 cm x 25 disks = 6.25 cm (2.5 inches) taller!
 
such radical procedures are, while appealling to those of shorter stature, IMHO just too radical and with too much potential for complications.

if you were younger aromatase suppression and HGH therapy would help, but at your age that window has closed (along with your growth plates).

have you tried lifts or inserts, or thick heeled boots. these can add 1-3 inches to your percieved height.

stretching and postural adjustments can also make slight real differences.

would try the latter 2 first, see how you feel about it. These proceedures are not to be taken lightly.
 
just juice out of your mind for about 18-24 months, then you can at least say your a swole short guy.. haha.. i cant take this thread seriously after reading the procedure.. you arent even that short..

when your taller.. and your legs are long as fuck and your body looks goofy then what?
 
I think this is a DUMBASS IDEA. Are you kidding me 5'8'' short? Your taller than 99% of the world! Live with it, I'm 19 and 5'8'' as well, I love my height, its perfect for bbing and you arent really "short", I have freinds like 5'4 think how they feel? THink about it long and hard, 5'8'' isn't bad.
 
If you were a fucking munskin like fucking 5'3 i MIGHT be able to understand. But this is just disturbing, you need to talk to somone about this shit.
 
Bro,
I'm standing 5' 5" right now, when I sit on the toilet my legs swing.
I have absolutely no desire to go thru procedure you are considering. Not even a thought! Your body will just never be the same… I don’t see how it could… Your bones are your core!
Don’t fuck with that.

PS: Bing tall is overated. Aside from the obvious reach advantage. I have not seen anybody do better than me, or acomplish more just because they are taller. If anything, I think I do better and try harder.

I'm only 1 inch taller than your friends. I love life and everything about it. I was blessed by God to have the body and genetics I have. I have been the right height and weight for every task in my life. If anything, I love riding horses and I would have liked to have been small enough to be a proffesional Jockey. Not much competition and my BB background would have helped me tremendously. I would be banking right now.

get a life. I am 5'4.5 and very happy. By the way only 8 to 11 people in my home state can give me a direct order. I say that because so much for height predicting future status.
 
Inferior extremity lengthening procedures aren't as uncommon as one might otherwise believe. Many people have had them without complications... just usually not on both limbs (e.g. not cosmetic). Already in my short stint in the medical field, I've seen a couple of patients with the hardware from these operations. I thought the technology to allow for this was pretty incredible.

If you've been considering this for awhile and perceive it will give you a better quality of life, are aware of risks/limitations and you have the extra cash and time to allow for recovery, I would go talk with a surgeon...

What are your thoughts on any other performance enhancing items to aid in the recovery and to help form the new bone growth.

I assume all the patients that get these procedures are not familiar with tha aids that we can get our hands on. I would obviously speak with the surgeons about specific compounds but I imagine just by adding a simple test and gh cocktail that the results would be dramatic comapred to regular recovery rates.

I know they say around 6-12 months recovery based on the length increased as well as the individual but what would you guess that adding some aas and other growth factors could do to speed this process up.

You always hear about athletes coming back from serious surgeries in record times. Don't think for a minute that they don't use these compunds as aids in their recovery process.

Would IGF help?
 
I couldnt imagine doing squats after that.. apart from the brittle old lady bones in your legs not only would your levers be totally changed but the muscle attatchments would be all fucked up, and you're setting up for a lifetime of chronic pain and imbalances. Nasty.

This is def a concern that I have. It sounds like everyon has been able to return to the old strength they had in terms of bone stability etc but I am not sure if they are talking about athletes that squat and train as hard as some on this board.

That is still a big what if question have myself.
 
Lets just say that you could perform some surgery or take some drug that would forever change your set point to a certain weight. In other words you have always been 200lbs but you could take a drug that in 6 months would have you at 250 and ripped....would you consider it?

You would have to be in bed rest but after the 6 months or so you would be walking around with 50 extra lbs of muscle that would never go away.

Who's everyone? I'm almost 100% positive that bodybuilders/weightlifters aren't getting these done as you'd likely never be able to squat again. The majority of people getting these procedures are people with uneven limbs as that's a valid reason considering it can stress your skeletal system.

I agree these are people with deformities and abnormal heights not BB.

I will say that I am not looking to be a pro BB either though. I will talk to the docs and see if they have ever had any athletes. I vaguely remember reading about basketball players in some countries doing this.
 
Synthetic Peptide That Enhances the Effect of a Bone Growth Factor, BMP-2

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and BioSurface Engineering Technologies, Inc. (BioSET) have developed a synthetic peptide that enhances the effects of a tissue growth factor known as bone morphogenetic protein 2, or BMP-2. BMPs are a family of proteins in the human body responsible for the proliferation, repair, and differentiation of cells in many tissues, including bone.

The researchers designed one portion of the peptide to target the BMP-2 receptor molecules that occur on the surface of bone-forming stem cells and another portion to interact with BioSET's drug-binding agent HepaSil™, a heparin-based product. The peptide, called B2A2, is one of a series of synthetic analogs of naturally occurring growth factors being developed in the Brookhaven/BioSET collaboration.

This research is reported in the November 8th online version of the Journal of Bone & Mineral Research.

“Our study shows that a small amount of the peptide that we developed increases the effectiveness of BMP-2 as much as 40 times,” said Brookhaven scientist Louis Peña, senior author of the paper. “This peptide unlocks a synergy with BMP-2. In a cell culture model, we used BMP at doses too low to have any observable effect by itself, and the same was true for the B2A2 peptide. But when the two were added together in the same low doses, the cells were strongly triggered to develop into bone-forming cells.

“First-generation BMP-impregnated medical devices are currently used clinically for spine repair and to accelerate the healing of long bones,” Peña continued. “These devices show effectiveness in inducing bone repair, but there is concern over the high levels of the growth factors that are currently required. An agent that decreases the amount of BMP needed or one that can recruit the body's own growth factors to be more effective could have a substantial clinical benefit.”

The growth factor analogs developed in the Brookhaven/BioSET collaboration are synthetic peptides that are chemically more stable and easier to produce than natural growth factors or growth factors derived by recombinant protein techniques. BioSET has an exclusive license to develop and market these bioactive analogs.

Thomas Roueché, BioSET's president, said, “We are fortunate to enjoy a fruitful collaboration. This class of peptide and others under development supports the concept of design-targeted synthetic peptides for specific tissue regeneration applications. The Brookhaven/BioSET collaboration continues to yield very promising results aimed at replicating human growth factors, and we look forward to further validating the potential of these peptides to enhance the body's healing capacity, especially when combined with orthopedic implants.”

He added, “We believe the future of orthopedics will continue evolving towards combination products, such as devices that have been biologically enhanced. For example, approved growth factor-type combination device products are currently valued at over $1.6 billion. Our ability to bring new bioactive peptides into the mix of new product development positions us at the leading edge of an important evolution in orthopedic medicine.”

Bone volume is determined by the relative rates of bone formation and bone resorption. Recent research in several laboratories suggests that growth factors may act locally to modulate bone formation by stimulating osteoblast proliferation and activity. A number of bone-derived growth factors have been isolated and characterized from bone matrix extracts and from media conditioned by bone cells and bone organs in culture. The growth factors found in bone matrix include insulinlike growth factors I and II, transforming growth factor-beta, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and bone morphogenetic proteins. Conditioned medium from bone cells contains several of these growth factors and also hematopoietic factors. These bone matrix-derived growth factors have different biologic activities, including mitogenic, differentiating, chemotactic, and osteolytic activities. Evidence suggests that bone cells produce substantial quantities of growth factors for extracellular storage in bone matrix. Apart from being produced for extracellular storage, it is possible that growth factors secreted by bone cells have acute effects on their neighboring osteoblastic cells, i.e., paracrine action, or on themselves, i.e., autocrine action. The release of matrix-stored growth factors by bone resorption may mean that growth factors act as delayed paracrine agents, e.g., osteoblasts deposit growth factors in bone and later when these growth factors are released from bone via bone resorption, the growth factors stimulate osteoblast precursors to proliferate. The findings that bone is a storehouse for growth factors and that bone cells in culture produce and respond to bone growth factors suggest bone growth factors may act as potential determinants of local bone formation. This review is focused on the structure, regulation, and biologic actions of the known bone growth factors.

are you gonna have your prick lengthened too to match your new height?
 
This surgery is very popular in japan where men who are taller than 5'5" can make alot more money. I saw a show about it and the surgery is way over 100,000 bucks, takes over two years to completely heal, you can't work for over 6 months because you cant leave home, its very supceptable to infections as far as 10 years after the surgery.

I am 5' 8'' , 215lbs, 36 inch waist, 18'' arms 42 jacket. I never have any problems with my height except a few times ladies like 5'10'' have liked me and I won't date someone taller than me.

Thats one reason why I work out and take muay thai , just in case some tall fucker has something to say about it, but so far I get nothing but respect.
My dad is 5'11'' and moms is 5'6''.
 
i can't wait until the threads come asking if "i should remove this gene or that gene because i don't like being mad or sad". it will come. thanks to genetic engineering and nanotechnology.

Agreed. A small point, but gaining 4 inches would create a very awkward stage not unlike that lanky teenager who just had his growth spurt. So not only recovery time, but also the horrible adjustment that can only be expected with a change in your center of gravity. You would be taller, clumsy and, maladjusted. Just a thought.

ive seen a documentary on this procedure and it appairs to be the most painfull thing I have ever seen. they have to stretch your tendons so they bend your legs back while you scream like hell. for a couple inches more it just dosen't seem worth it.
 
No way dude...no way in hell man..im 5'9, and i dont consider my self short at all...its a self esteem thing dude. deal with it other ways..
 
im 6'4 but i wanna be taller so i talked to the doc and he said he could remove my legs and put 5 foot stilts in their places. after surgery i would be about 8 feet tall! yeaaaaa!
 
wow, now I have definately seen and heard some crazy shit but f**k at what extent are we willing to go. we are who we are shit I always wanted my bird chest to fly away but never thought about surgery. Just the other day i read online that the only cure for bird chest which both my kids have is surgery what happened to the good old days of manning up and doing push ups swiming and bench to get rid of that bird. I have done them all and the bird is gone yeah there was pain and it took years but shit cut my legs to have them grow so I can be taller. hey its not the size that matters right?

but seriously. lets say hypothetically, everything works out ok, you are two inches taller and completely healed. your body did not reject the implants, and you are well on your way to rebuilding the muscle. was it worth 30,000$?is being 5'7 that noticable from 5'5? as a bro said earlier, a nice pair of shoes and a wild hair do can make you look 5 inches taller. Put on some boots, ones with thick soles and stand in front of the mirror. Do you notice a difference? and is that difference worth the costs?

Are you serious, That's called normal, a lot of tall kids especially girls grow fast and early then stop. Unless you were running literally 24/7 for a couple of years.
Are you Hindu? You could kill yourself and hope to be reincarnated taller, but who knows you might come back as Manut Bowl and that wouldn't be kool either :p

That is what I am debating. If I can go from 5-7.5 to 5-10 or 5-11 for $30K and 6 months then I think I would do it. I just don't know if the results will be that great and the healing time will be that short.
 
The price is going to be ridiculous. I had maxillo-facial surgery to repair a broken jaw I suffered playing football in college. The bill was $79,000 for the procedure and $4,000 for the hospital stay. Thank god for health insurance with covered it all. I would imagine the procedure you're talking about would cost much more than 100,000. maybe even almost 200,000.
 
The places abroad like in china, Thailand etc it would cost $25K all inclusive with the hospital stay. I don't think that I would want to be that far away from home for that long. I think it can be done for around $40K-$85K in the USA in either MD or FL. The money is not an issue for me. It is the recovery time etc.
 
I have seen this thread and in the past but did not want to reply since I really did not know how to say what I want. But, now that I can not resist anymore here it goes. I sympathise with your insecurity of your size I hae grown up with some myself but in your future you will eventually grow older and be way more comfortable with yourself and hopefully learn to like what you have. Will some people in this world give you shit about being shorter? Hell yes. The only thing you can do about what you were given is to learn to be happy with it. There are gazillion little people in this world as happy as can be. Why because their attitude and outlook is amazing and they embrace what it is they are and know WHO they are means more. You must overcome that way of thinking. Obviously something traumatic happened in your life that has scarred you with this way of thinking because I can not fathom otherwise why anyone that is perfectly health would even contemplate such an idea. A lot of people hit the nail on the head you should really see a psychiatrist not a medical doctor because there is nothing wrong with your body!! You have to learn to roll with the punches you have a shitload more going for you than your height and it could always be worse than just vanity
You could have cancer
you could be a parapalegic there could be millions. There are millions who would kill to be your height!

learn to accept the things you can not change!
 
Bro just relax man. You're not that short, 5'8'' is around the average so don't fret it. Every guy wishes he was a little bit taller and have a little bit bigger dick lol. I'm 6'3'' and I sware sometimes I want to be 6'5'' so bad, but it's just not going to happen, be happy with what you got.
 
Bro seriously, your not that short at all. Sure everyone has things they would like change about themselves, but your obviously way too hung up on appearances. I could sympathize with you if you were really short but bro, man up. I didn't catch your age but you must be really young. And mad metro-sexual. How snug do you wear your jeans? How tight do you have your eyebrows waxed? An elaborate hairdo? shiiiet.....you pussy dawg. you can add 8 inches of height, then you'd still need a sex change operation to remove that pussy.....height increase surgery........nah man....smarten up. Im embarrassed for you.

This is something that I am looking into for cosmetic reasons. I am currently 5.7-5.8 inches tall but would like to be about 5.10-5.11 inches tall.

Let me know your thoughts. I am thinking GH, Test but would love to hear some more expert pharma input from you guys.

are you a bodybuilder or just want to use some gear to help with recov.?
If you are 5-7 or even 5-8 hot damn you could make yourself huge. I'm 6'5" bro and trust me it don't get any easier to put on size the taller you are.

A girl I went to high school with had this done because on leg was 1 inch shorter, It took months to recover had all sorts of devices in her leg to stretch tendonds and such slowly. She said when it was going on she would have rather stayed wearing risers in her shoe the rest of her life. Your just doing it because of a self esteem issue, your nuts.
 
Is this type of surgery that much different than nose jobs, boob jobs, lipo, chin implants etc?

Yes this surgery basically doesn’t exist.

Just a few crazy’s trying to make money off us poor short guys.
 
Nobody has mentioned that he's only 137lbs! After surgery and rehab he could be down to 125lbs at 5' 11"!!! I would worry more about gaining some serious muscle! That alone would make you appear taller.

There's no way in hell your going to be 5'11" and weigh 200lbs in the 18-24months you suggested!
 
[/QUOTE]Somedays I would like to not have to look on the rack for a suit in a 38S


Try bench pressing
 
I have recently gone on a major diet and cardio regimen to loose 20lbs

I have been as high as 165 at a lower % so I know I can get back up there quick with some help
 
What we really want is happiness, so you have 2 choices. Find a way to be happy with what you have (counselling, psychiatry), or do the procedure ONLY if it is safe and affordable. I would be scared though. How strong can those bones be? Especially down the road. Any long term studies on this?
 
I should mention that in general I have a small frame and stature. I am currently 5'7.5" and 137 lbs at 12.3% body fat.

My goal would be to be 5'11" 190-200 lbs at 8% or so.

It would take 18-24 months.

If you can grow that much, do it,

And let me know, because I will do it too,

I am 5’5” on a good day.
 
Dude I am 5'7" and I hate being that short but do yourself a favor and forget about this surgery. I have seen reports on it and the recovery is very painful, you will prob. have to be addicted to pain meds to get thru it.

Is that you in the pic? You are huge... I guess I may need to hit the gym more and forget about the surgery.
 
I think gh would be your only answer for recovery. but i will say i am all about enhancing our bodies. but think about it. when you grow you grow all over. not just from one spot. sounds too much like the tribe in africa that put rings around ladies necks to make their necks longer. 5.7-5.8 inch frame is a great stature to build a proportioned physique BTW
 
Buddy 5 7" really isnt that short.

I work with a guy thats like 5'5 and hes a fucking tank. Do you think people fuck with Sean sherk? Doubtful. Take some GH or IGF and maybe your shoulders will broaden up a bit, and get jacked up.

People are never happy with what they have ... fuck in 6'1-2 and I still wish I had the "illusive" inch or 2 extra.

Suck it up bro ... get swole, and gorget about the surgery.

Watch the South park epidosde on this and youll realize how stupid this idea is.
 
whoa, thats one of the most insane things I ever heard. Dont do it dude.
 
im 5'7" to start with
well i have been self conscious about my height since i remember about my 14s. towards my 18s i came to understand that this is the way i am, just as in the nature things are different and accepted to live along and be happy despite my shortness. i did not ignore my weakness as if there is one thing i'd hate in my life is the ignorance - so bullshit to all comments that its ok to be short there are millions with short stature and still successful, yes captain awkward we know that, one example is the godfather thank you! so having accepted that its not "ok" to be 5'7", but still survival stands, and survival without happiness is BS.. i said fuck it all go on with the life. up until now i have not been abused by tall guys infact i knocked the shit outa few.. but when i just heard about the procedure i thought it was worth it and if below average can be pulled to the average, i'd called it a "cure" not a cosmetic BS
anyhow dont know if u still consider the procedure or not this is how its gonna go down for me..
according to my research there is an artificial calcium called "nano calcium pills" which are manufacture by the nano technology and they can move upto 8 times faster in blood and are by far definition stronger than the natural calcium found in nature..
surgery takes few hours and external fixators as well as the internal ones are connected. 3 months later externals are removed and you can walk freely since internal ones will hold ur bone straight to the full recovery. up to a year you need to lower the pressure on ur bones and avoid squad push ups. afterwards u are free..
during that 1 year u can still do bench press arms shoulders flies etc but not to put pressure on ur shin bones.
im not trying to make my decision look good because simply im doin it myself so it could look ugly, disturbed, wrong, foolish, self esteemed (as if i have to see a psychiatrist) etc from other pints of view and i couldnt care less for them.. this is my life my decision and it could be all that from other points of view
