Is doing two surgeries in the same segment possible?

I was just thinking (I'm not planning to do it). Is it possible, for example, do 8cm in femur with stryde, and after some years do osteotomy again and new 4 cm with stryde, totalizing 12cm? Or with tibias?

Beside the time and money you lose with this, what would be the downsides?

I thought the soft tissue would "adapt" to new height and than could be stretched again. I guess I was wrong.
