Heightmaxxing: Difference between revisions

'''Heightmaxxing''' is the process through which a person increases his height. This is mostly a male practice due to the [[Heightcel|systemic oppression of short men]]. There is no known means of increasing someone's height at an adult age through natural growth except in the case of rare diseases like gigantism. There are three main forms of heightmaxxing from the most to the least common: wearing heels, wearing shoe lifts and leg lenghtening surgery.

Wearing heels to enhance height is common practice among both men and women. Current social norms limit the size of men's heels to 1 inch (2.5cm). It is however socially acceptable for women to wear heels of any size.

Shoe lifts are removable pieces of plastic that can be insterted in one's shoes. The user can decide how many sections of shoe lift need to be inserted: with one section the user can obtain almost 2 extra centimeters, with two sections the users can obatain more than two centimeters. Inserting more than two sections leads to significant difficulties in walking.

Although wearing shoe lifts is not socially acceptable, it is a common means of heightmaxxing especially among male celebrities. Due to social norms allowing women to wear heels of any size, females rarely see the need to wear shoe lifts.

It's possible to buy online shoes that contain embedded shoe lifts. This kind of shoes are way more comfortable than boots containing removable shoe lifts.

Because [[heightcel|shortcels]] can only add 2 to 3 inches to their height through wearing heels and hidden lifts, which is not enough to overcome their [[Subhumanity|subhumanity]], the only solution left is leg lengthening surgery. This surgery consists in breaking the tibia or femur and pulling the two broken parts apart with the help of metallic rods so the bone can reform in the empty space in between and produce a longer tibia or femur. The process of pulling the broken bone parts apart takes at least 1 or 2 months depending on the desired length with a progress of maximum 1mm a day. The process of healing takes a few months more. It is possible to add up to 4 inches (10cm) to the tibia or to the femur although most surgeons advice not to go past 2 inches (5cm) in each bone. Both tibias and femurs can be lengthened although at different times. This is a dangerous surgery that can produce complications including the inability to run depending on how much the bones were lengthened, but this is rare. Most of times people recovers well. It's very important to do stretching and clean the pin sites to avoid infection (external methods).

===Methods===

*Externals: In these methods the support of the bone is placed outside the skin, so the skin remains pierced until the procedure is done, so there is a greater risk of infection (pins must be cleaned), but they are also safer for the bone and allow simultaneous corrections for curved bones:

**Ilizarov: This method was the original, and Ilizarov apparatus is placed around the limb, and small nails are placed to hold the bone in place. This device allows to lengthen the bone turning some nuts. It's not very expensive, but it is uncomfortable.

===Tips===

*Be sure of what you want, this is a complex surgery, takes time and patient must do a lot of stretching. This surgery has some risk (most of them fixable) and it is painful at certain stages, but it can improve the body because the height gained is real, like tall people.

*Gather as many information as you can about the procedure, doctor, method used, alternatives...

If the growth plates have not fused it is possible to add a few inches by injecting [[HGH|Human Growth Hormone]]. Human Growth Hormon such as Genotropin has to be prescribed by a doctor. There is also a huge blackmarket for HGH. A lot of Looksmax Users also recommend intaking a AI such as Aromasin along with HGH to minimize Estrogen which has been shown to fuse the growth plates.
