Hello everybody, today I decide to write one important thing in my life.
My starting height is just only : 5'4 and I want to have more 8 cm. In Vietnam is really hard to find a good doctor to trust them. Day by day, I search a lot of information about this and I find a dairy of Asiann 123. I choose Dr. Thuy for my surgery. When I go to hospital I heard that Dr. Thuy has retired already then just only Dr. Quynh can do my surgery. Of course, Im really scare when Dr. Quynh do. But until now, I do not have any problems Dr. Quynh did well. All of price I pay for this surgery is 12.600 USD including surgery, 4 months stay, foods and caring and like basically everything so I dont need anyone to go with me.
Dr. Quynh uses 1 small tube to deliver pain killer directly to my spinal, it makes me feel better and it does not hurt likes I think. Although the first few days did hurt a lot. But I got a lot of sleep so it went pass quickly. I am at 3 weeks now with no pain
I just wanna share my story to everyone who wants to have limb lengtening surgery including Vietnamese or foreigners. I need to share this feeling because it is a hard time ever guys. I will update every week or every other week depend on my mood and I will update photo as well. Please stick with me till the end.

Quote from: Body Builder on June 25, 2017, 02:38:02 PMHello my friend and good luck with your LL.
Tell us a little more about the method you used (external only, lon etc) and listen to your body because 8cm in tibias is too much and you could end up with massive bf if your body can't handle it.
So stay focused and be careful to go till the end as smooth as it gets.
Keep strong!
I did L.ON. well I want 8cm but I will stop if something wrong happen. Thank you

Thank you very much. But actually I'm a girl lollll
Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on July 01, 2017, 06:47:37 PMWow but 5'4 is a good height for women unless you plan on becoming a model. Good luck in your journey, and I also would recommend lengthening a little less, 6 cm tops. It's very good you decided on externals and not pure internal because as you are Asian and female your consolidation may be slower than Caucasians.
So sorry about that but I have a mistake my height is 154cm, I thought 5'4 and 154cm are the same thing. I wanna have 8cm, this is my dream. If I have problems, I will stop it. Dr tells me If I want more than 6cm, I will have tendon release sủgery. However, I can get 8cm I accept that. Because I dont wanna run or play sport, I just want to walk like a normal person and more 8cm.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on July 01, 2017, 07:12:27 PMGood luck on your journey. I would hope that you reconsider the amount of lengthening on your tibiae though, as Bodybuilder said.
Not all doctors agree on the amount, but my own was very insistant that going above 6 cm of tibia lengthening will cause some degree of permanent damage beyond what having the surgery in the first place will cause. That is because your muscles stretch up to a point, but greater than that point they will lose their rubber-band like elasticity and become more like a rope.
Looking at post-op reports from people who did tibia lengthening already and did above 6 cm, most of them regret it because they had muscle tightness that would not go away and required Achilles tendon lengthening, or they became self-conscious about how long their shins were in comparison to their thighs. Lengthening too much on your tibiae will also make your walking feel funny and make running more difficult.
So sorry about that but I have a mistake my height is 154cm, I thought 5'4 and 154cm are the same thing. I wanna have 8cm, this is my dream. If I have problems, I will stop it.

Anyway, good luck from me. You'll need it.
