To be 2 inches shorter.
How risky is it? And would any doctor do it for purposes of reducing your height?

I'm 6'1 and want to be 5'10 because I'm transgendered.

Head shortening procedures do the same job but cost half as much.

Why would you want to make your legs shorter darlin? I think long legs are very attractive myself...being that I have short legs (I am 5' 3 and a 1/4 inches) I had always wanted to be taller...I am over that now and appreciate my height or what I have of it...
Let me just say this, it is much easier to be at peace with your height and learn to appreciate it than go through a long unnecessary procedure that could leave you crippled. You def do not want to risk that! Feel good about you hon!
BTW I wanted to add that I have some female friends who are 6' 61' and they are beautiful and statuesque...I think you will learn to appreciate that as a trans-gender person eventually too...your legs can be a wonderful asset!

Even if they could, no doctor would shorten you legs simply for the purpose of making yourself shorter for procedures. They only use leg lengthing when it is an extreme case for medical reasons. It is extremly painful and I would imagine risky.

Two inches shorter? For major surgery that I doubt any reputable surgeon would perform? Take advantage of your height—you make more money and get better jobs. If worse came to worse, you could develop bad posture and hunch over a lot.

confident, its stated as amputation! in basic terms shrink off out of your ankles down and walk on stumps. ;) different than that, i'm tremendously optimistic that there is a few kind of significant, "detrimental on your existence" kind of surgical technique. you will desire to in all risk forego the "leg shortening" and be chuffed which you're tall and have use of your legs.

why would someone do that...the only way that i think a normal doctor would shorten someones legs was if it was causing them severe medical problems....just imagine how painful it would be to cut part of your leg off....
