I read a user in an old topic, but with no further discussion, saying that if lenghtening tibias, using lifts afterwords may not be advisable.
Does anybody have a view, if this is just an opinion or if there's really any  relation? (BTW, I supose this doesn't apply to ''normal'' elevator/platform shoes).
Women doing tibias often use high heels afterwards....

I asked this because I am so short (3SD) and height neurotic that I need lenghtening tibias PLUS lenghtening femurs PLUS elevator shoes or lifts (I don't care taking off shoes in private settings, though).
And not only I have still not money for femurs as I am not young and thus can't wait too long for both surgeries (segments).

Thanks for the advice. Since I have short tibias also in relative terms, I hope it won't be an issue.
When you say not to tilt too much forward, you mean, because of lack of balance, I would be more prone to fall forward?

You think you're "spotted" because of posture, gait, or they saw your ankle a bit too much out of the shoe?

Thanks! I have that part of the "strategy" all clear! :-)
It may sound a bit naif but maybe I will also try to train gait and posture...
