QuoteThe research amongst young peoples whom get cosmetic ll, 20s to 30s, seems to show no long-term side effects/impairments.
I'm very interested in this research. Care to share the link?
Thanks
I've only seen these two studies so far. But, the results look very promising:

Very interesting indeed. Almost all the patients had a positive outcome according to those studies. Not it's all about finding the right doctor.
its not all about the right dr... but, if you have the money, go to rozbruch
I'll post my experience soon about him
I am 5'5 and i am going to do probably 5 on my tibia in the next year but will I do 6 or 7 ? Bitch I'm 5'5 who the fk wants to be 5'7? I'm 22 and I am going to be done with my master's degree in November I can't be happy at 5'5. Hate people the way they treat me and . I really just don't care about it either 5'9 is my ultimate goal but being closet to 5'10 is ideal.

5.5CM on your tibiae and 7CM on your femurs and you'll be set for life.
you should do 7 cm, 172 is a decent height and you avoid the trauma of a second procedure
Quote from: crimsontide on January 12, 2015, 09:35:27 PMyou guys, especially the ones that never did lengthening are simply wrong... there are no definites first of all
i lengthened over 7 cm... i lewngthened more than .66 mm a day often...
guess what... I'm in no pain, and on no painkillers... ill see dr agaon on wed, but i'm pretty sure im ok
I can already walk. etc etc
i might need to realign my left leg, which is a bit annoying, but other than that... and a very tiny amount of numbness that seems to be going away(already cant even notice it unless i consciuously think of it)... and it has zero impact on function
Will I be 100%... well, Considering the fact that I, as well as most others, never pushed our bodies to ithe maximum anyway, I doubt it even matters
For most people, while technically they will not be 100%, for all intents and purposes, they will not even notice theres a difference
the people that have done ll, ask them if they regret it, almost all will confidently say no...
I know I don't regret it... even with the potential of fixing one last issue... for me to regret it, I'd have to suffer loss of a limb or motor function
Being short sucks
Needing a second surgery is not an example of someone who has no problems from LL surgery and in a more current post, you are now in recovery from surgery again. So you're not exactly a fully recovered patient without complications and certainly can't speak about longterm problems. http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=634.450
Cautionary Threads like these are important because there are many people who aren't as embittered by their heights as you are/were…. even at your previous height. They are those who may change their minds about this surgery and decide it isn't worth the risks or that your current post-op recoveries are not what they consider an acceptable trade-off for them.
You hate being short so much that you're probably more optimistic about any problems you're experiencing that others who are not as unhappy would be.
Medium Drink of Water has posted that he is satisfied with his decision to have LL surgery even though it had consequences. He reveals all the problems he's had and still has because he understands that what is a good result for him might be considered a poor result by someone else. He doesn't seem to have any problems with people being forewarned about complications or even emphasizing them.
There's no need to be annoyed if someone else decides that this type of surgery isn't worth it and doesn't go thru with it.
Someone who hates his stature as much as you did will do this surgery regardless of how many warning threads are posted so it isn't meant for you. Some people would rather be dead than to keep living as a short person but others just want to get taller only if it makes common sense for them.
Believe me, there are times when I absolutely hate my height but I want to know as much about the consequences as possible.
Your own experience with LL and needing a second surgery may not be a problem for you, but it would be for me. I will need to read about the average patient experiencing more successful surgeries than your own to consider this for myself.

Very wise words

I'd want to be 5'7 bro rather than my current 5'3. Don't let your goals to get your head man 5'7 is average short but you won't get laughed at unless your personality sucks. Personally I've been humbled a lot on this forum by dudes who are two to five inches shorter than myself and will never reach 5'7
