Hi,
My plan is  using precise and do 7 cm on femur then 6 cm on tibia in the idea situation. I will do 7 on femur first then after 6 months or a year I will do the other 6 cm on tibia. I just want to ask that is it possible and what you guy think about it?

I am still pretty young ( 19 years old) and if it is not possible or the risks is too great. I think I would do 5 femur and 5 tibia which is safer

Thank you guys so much for all the advices. My height currently is 167~168. I been reading stuffs posted by Dr.Paley online  and he suggests that he could do 8 femur, 5 tibia and a space of one year in between. And I am a pretty healthy young men (no smoking, drinking and I exercise regularly) so I think that I could do the second surgery after a year (or at best 6months after first surgery) like Dr. Paley posted but not 100% confident because I still in my research phase and have not meet my surgeon yet. The fact that I want to do second surgery after 6 months or a year so much because I am in university and want to study higher or get a job. So that why delay my second surgery for too long will kinda mess up my plan for the future.

But like I said before in ideal situation I want to do 7 femur and 6 tibia which seem to be more proportional.

So is it dangerous to do so and should I wait longer than 1 year before doing my second surgery???

Again thank you guys so much for reply on this thread for me, your suggestions could really make an positive impact on me.  11- 13 cm limb lengthening 11- 13 cm limb lengthening
