Hi this is my first post and i'm fairly new in this forum, so i have a couple of questions that i would be really thankfull if anyone responded.
BTW i'm a female, 17 years old, and 1'63-1'64 cm.
It will be safe do 2 inches in each segment?
I've read that dr lee said that patients who do not passed the 5 cm mark get back almost 100% of athlethic ability back
Also i read in one post that the lenghethening per day should be 0'66mm per day for let the soft tissue adapt, is it true?
I plan doing purely externals on tibias due being the less invasive method and the same in femurs, to avoid risk of permanent knee pain and fat embolism...
I know is a lot of time in frames doing only externals but if in the long term has less risk of complications i don't mind at all.
It will be with a year of lapse not both surgeries at the same time.
I really hope someone could help me with this questions!!!
17 OLD FEMALE WITH A LOT OF QUESTIONS? It will be safe...?
Until you will be able to answer those question by yourself you will not be ready for LL .
Start from reading every diary.
Have you ever seen scars from externals?
If you do this for aesthetic reasons well.... you won't be happy from the trade off.
Besides good luck surviving externals on femurs lol.

Agreed. It seems like every female LL'er completely ignores scar issue or tib-fem proportions issue. Leg beauty is important for a female, you don't want all your leg segments scarred. And no scar revision isn't magical - it will only make the scars less visible.
You'll exchange an excellent female height for a just good height with extreme scarring and less function (if everything goes well).
You are one of the reasons that new members should not create new threads but I justify you only because you are a young girl who knows nothing about LL.
When you get older I really hope you'll be sane enough to forget about LL.
Don't risk going for leg lengthening unless you got a discrepancy or some deformity. You're female so doing this cosmetically will not benifit you much and you will loose more than you will gain.
If I were you and felt some sadness about your stature I'll do it, this people here who a'int recommend it for you already did,so for it you can make your own conclusions, about the method foryou I'd recommend some internal rod, like precise 2, it's more pricey, notwithstanding.
Does someone have some scars external pictures ?
I dislike that mentality which consists in frightening the new and curious
yeah many women have scars in the belly due pregnancy surgery , the name of it I believe in english is Caesarean I'm not sure.Because scars, none women in the world shouldhave child because of scars. And about scar people may diminish it using lasers.

This girl wants to become better aesthetically and with legs full of scars in both tibias and femurs no woman would be aesthetical.
And all these for gaining height which is not even a benefit for a woman, especially if she is almost 5.5 which is a perfect height.
So before saying things like that, think more carefully.
A man would be benefited a lot with LL because height is the most important apsect of a man's appearance so some scars doesn't matter much, although they are still exist and are not the mist aesthetical thing.
But a woman full of scars and no real benefit? What is the reason to do LL?
Things are so simple.
Deniscef, if you compare having a children with doing a cosmetic surgery that in reality would make a woman worse, then you prove for another time the level of intelligence you have.
