Quote from: canterk on February 23, 2021, 01:44:57 PMYep I won't do 20cm that's for sure. In these pics it's pretty obvious that he did LL because of arm length.

Thanks I really want to be able to do walking and biking after lengthening. Do you think I can start right after my 3 months of lengthening or how long do people usually wait until they're cleared to do physical activities (before rod removal)? I am planning to do stryde by the way as soon as they ship again.

Hi canterk
I think considering your current height, two surgeries could or should be the way to go as you said. In that case, I recommend you to start with tibia rather than femur, because tibiaa take much longer time to recover than femurs. I know some patients who did femurs or tibias. Patients with femur cll got back to normal life much faster than ones with tibias. Normal life include light sport (bike or jogging) or activity. You can't expect to be able to run like sprint or to play basketball or tennis anything like that until you remove rods.

If you start with tibias for cll, you can have still time for your tibias to recover while you are doing surgery and recovery for femurs. So you could save some time by this way, as supposed to have femurs followed by tibias. I recommend femurs for most of ppl who are somewhat considering both tibias and femurs but without a certainty.

Doing two segments together (normally 3-4 weeks after the first surgery which is normally femur) is extremely hard and there is a high chance you may stop before 10 cm in total. If you are so sure that you can't find additional time for two separate surgeries, you can do this. If you can afford time, do two surgeries in apart. That is the better option to achieve more length.

Finally, don't worry too much about proportion or arm length. Ppl don't really care about other's arm length but do care about other's height at least to a certain degree. Once you reach at least 10 cm, you can take a closer look at your arm length and can stop lengthening at any time you feel that is enough.

You are still very young! If you have time and money, go for it!! But just be careful and patient!!

Good luck!

Considering how short you are already, what is the purpose of going from 5 to 5'5. Maybe because you live in china that makes it reasonable to do.
In the west being 5'5 is already over for you. Thats my experience. I know that sounds super dark and morbid. But if i was 5 feet tall i would just accept it because going through torture to become 5'5 is meaningless.

At least if you are 5 feet tall you can be the weirdo freak and get some attention that way haha.

This is so rude and dehumanizing.

Thanks very much for your insightful post. I will consider doing tibias first even though the height gain will be less than femurs. Obviously i want to be taller faster and i would rather be 5'3" for a while than 5'2" for a while (need to wait 1 year before 2nd surgery afaik), but what you said makes a lot of sense. Thanks again.

I am not from China and I will not live in a western country where you must be at least 5'9" to be considered above average.

Anyway thanks for sharing your opinion.

Just by reading the way you speak I would not be surprised if you have no friends nor respect and you probably blame that on your height. Do yourself a favour and work on your people skills, maybe then you might just feel a boost of happiness in your life.

I would advise to maybe start with femurs as you could get more cm's. Believe me, once you are into this you may not want to repeat the process, so in that case, better finish with the most gained cm's possible...

I don't know if the guy really did 20cm or not but he looks pretty attractive to me. His arms are not too short but yes short for his height I guess it's kinda small not short looking. His legs look attractive too he has a good looking face he looks taller than 5'9-10"
