11cm on femurs internal Bliskunov with Drs Dragan and Jamal in Kiev in 2004

Edit Post

No, it's different it's like elongation of an elastic band which runs from hip to knee by way of making incision, I hope you didn't have to go through it if you don't know about it.

Anyways, a lot of hearty thanks for the detailed answers and replies. Your unmatched experience of 14 years post LL  would be a great treasure and support for  for anxious and potential  LLers here. Please visit this forum regularly to help them. Wishing you a great future and health.

No, I defo didn't need that.   Are you someone considering LL?
Thanks pal. Wishing you the same!

11 cm are way too much.
You dont look bad at all but if you really did that much (I doubt it from the pics and from the fact that you didnt do itb release) then premature arthritis is almost inevitable for you.

Lengthening more than 8cm in amy segment is insane.
The consequences will be showm in the next years.

Haha, thanks for the heads up on what's awaiting me!  I'm 43 and so far so good.  I think I was lucky in that my femurs were shorter than normal for my pre-LL height, so although they're now much longer, they don't appear so much out of proportion. Dr J wants to take an x-ray soon. I'll be sure to post that.

I am not the only LL'er who put 11cm with the Bliskunov method. I've heard of at least one more. I think he was a local man. But don't expect him to appear on the board anytime soon.  Personally I think it's the best and most efficient method.

taller_in_kiev, I suppose women were one of many reasons for doing this surgery.
Did you find your love? do you have family now?

Tlannister, women women.. especially these creatures that walk around Kiev, gives lust a whole new meaning. I actually met my love just prior to commencing surgery in '04. She helped me a lot actually and who knows if the result would've been the same  without her. I owe her much. Only I was too much of an idiot to keep her! We parted ways after a couple of years.  I then found love again some years later, but was still an idiot! So sadly I don't have my own family yet, but it's something I'm working on as a priority, maybe I've left it a little late, who knows?!
There's no doubt being taller increases your chances in the dating world, but it's something you have to reveal if you're going to get serious, or else how're you gonna explain the scars in the bedroom? Fortunately women think differently to men and if she likes you, revealing your LL shouldn't be a deal breaker.

Can you post pictures of your scars?

Hello taller_in_Kiev

It was nice meeting you here in Kiev and hear about your journey. It gave me a boost of energy.

I am thinking about stopping at 8 cm (max 8.5 cm). Most likely end of July or beginning of August. I am thinking about adding 5-6 cm on my tibia for next year or so. But lets see.

It seems that you will stay permanently in Kiev.

Good luck and God bless you.

Hi Rocky
No worries pal and it was a pleasure meeting you too. I think you are doing the right thing, spreading the gains across, but with a total of 13-14cm you are going to be one tall dude!  We will have to meet again when you're all healed up and you'll be towering over me lol!
My stay in Kiev is not certain at the mo, I will see.
Keep stretching, eat well and stay positive.
God bless you too!

Sorry, not appropriate, but you will have scars. You're not going to hide this completely!  Everyone heals differently, unfortunately I have keloids. I had them cut out and lasered only in the last couple of years, so they're still a bit red and healing.  Having seen Rocky, I don't think his scars were so bad, so I think Dr Jamal's procedure has come a long way since I did it in '04.
