Questions about LL

Edit Post

Quote from: Alittletooshort on February 12, 2016, 11:36:41 AMIf I decide to do tibias I´d only do 3- 4cm´s.

why is that?

Edit Post

I didn´t see a single decent tibial recovery on thisforum yet and the in frame time gets exponentially longer the more you do. I also don´t like the looks of super long tibias compared to my already very short femurs.
4cm´s take at least 5-6 months which is already very long.

You didn't even bother to check your growth plates and you are planning CLL? There's a slim chance that you have open plates. They probably already fused unless you have a very rare aromatase deficiency or some sort of familial variation that allows further growth in late teens which is also rare. In this case, the most you will gain is an inch in your torso as spine grows beyond skeletal maturity.

I still hold firm that most people will never get this surgery done. It seems like most just move on with their lives and don't bother to care about the surgery. So to that end, most people never reach the step of doing LL, at least those who gain sanity in their mind (after all it's better to not go ahead and do it this surgery).

You're on an LL forum that attracts depressed short people who are not LL doctors. Your questions require more reading and consultations with several doctors. You seem to have missed the concept of an armchair expert.

No one here has bothered to completely answer your list of questions because you're lazy.

I also didn't ask for anyone's opinion about my desire for the surgery, especially ones that are pretty shallow in expression. Criticism is fine when needed, but my questions don't warrant any personal input, especially snide remarks. Either be constructive and civil or piss off.

Please don't insult my intelligence, especially with your stuffy and pompous writing. For a guy who's exerting way too much effort to sound educated, you pretty much begged people to sh1t on your post with your ridiculous expectations. You're the guy thats going to magically gain 3 inches from 18-25. Cool story.

I'm about the only person in this thread so far who has done LL and gave you some valuable real world advice. You should take it in strides, like the one where you should see a psychiatrist. Tell me thats not a good idea, for a 25 year old 5'10 person to talk with someone about how their life is miserable because they're average height.

If your idea of being constructive and civil is people blindly agreeing and babying you, you're in the wrong forum. Stop being a joker and handle the truth.

Enjoyed reading every word of that.

I expect that by the time I stop growing, I will be at 5'10 ft/178cm.  My desired height is 6'3 ft/190. 5cm.  I would need 13cm to reach this height from 5'10 ft.  However in another thread as well as the FAQ it suggests that 12cm is the limit (albeit initially it said 5cm for cosmetic reasons, so I'm not sure if the same is for 12cm).  Would 1cm above the limit be an issue?

I don't mean to rustle your jimmies with this:
You're counting on growing 3 inches naturally in your twenties which is downright absurd. Then you want to do 13cms of LL and you're actually worried about whether 13cm instead of 12 will harm you?

Becoming 6'3 from 5'7 is an absolute pipe dream unless you find and eat magic beans. You can do 3 inches of LL and get to 5'10 and be happy. 5'10 is a great height.

  I also havent seen any decent femoral lengthening recovery. Fraknly, I didnt see a decent recovery in this forum what's so ever

  I dont count shyshy's diary because I strongly believe that it is fake (Maybe it is not but that's just an opinion I have from the first time I have read it). Also, unfortunately almost no one on both forums did lengthening with a decent doctor so we don't have the entire picture. Lastly, even though the recoveries were not excellent in neither segments, those of the tibia appear to be better (although slower).

may I ask mr tibike,   do you think paley can give a good recovery?

Edit Post

If you go to Paley's website, the guy who's testimonial is given has had an amazing recovery. Probably the best recovery since ShyShy...I can personally vouche for that.
