I am 155 cm right now, I always wanted to be 180 at least but we never get what we wish. I was thinking if it was possible to get to at least 175 cm through LL? Is it? And if so, how many time should I expect to get out of the treatment? 8 to 12 months? Is it possible in 9 months?
, its possible but don't expect a healthy life after
If you want to look like a spider and most likely be hurting and maybe not even walking properly for the rest of your life because of this radical medical experiment then sure, maybe it's possible. That's assuming everything goes well throughout the process. It will also take YEARS. Apotheosis lengthened that amount at a taller starting height and is still not fully recovered after four years.
Leechlet started at around 160 and lengthened 10 cm, in my opinion he already looks disproportionate because of his low starting height and small frame.
It's possible. Just expect a very long recovery time with intensive physiotherapy.

and to walk like an amputated giraffe, also 9 months? It will take 2 years of lengthening, twice as much of consolidation, and u won't be able to run till 6-8 years POst Operation
As much as I'd like to see this just out of curiosity it would look terrible. The most natural looking lengthening I've seen has been 10cm all up in tibs and femurs and they didn't go more than 5 cm
past their wingspan.
The irony of LL is the taller your starting height and wingspan the more you can lengthen which is why
the 170cm and up crowd tend to look better after LL.
Leechlet would look better if he would have split the 10cm but now he can't really do his tibs as its way
too much. He had a skinny build to start with so LL was going to look more obvious.
Can't compare LittleWhiteMan to Apo, as he's just 16 years old. He can expect to consildate and recover much faster. 30cm lengthenings are done constantly on short stature patients, adults and they recover fully. I really hate how everyone likes to talk out of nothing here.

Have you even seen him? Shyshy* has done 9cm and only proportion-obsessed maniacs would notice and call him disproportionate. Why would he split it into two surgeries, if he can get the same amount in one, with less money and time and no need to trauma the other leg segment?
*I meant Andrewshizzles, Shyshy has done 7.5cm.
The thing about congenital short stature (dwarfism and the like) is that these people often have disproportionately short appendages to their torsos. For the general population, there is definitely reason to stay within a reasonable amount. I agree many femur patients here look really good, but if you were to see them either nked or in person doing stretches with the shin behind the thigh or bends that involve a lot of movement in the legs, you might be more inclined to realize something a bit off. Having the extra length in the femur definitely looks stealthier though.
Of course it is possible but it will take you a very long time and a lot of money.
But just think how you would look like with that amount of LL, with such a short torso and 100lb at 175cm? I don't think you will look like normal person or maybe I'm wrong. Post a picture of yourself so we can help more.
Watch out for proportions! Body frame, head size, wingspan and sitting height should be considered when lengthening more than 10cm.
20 cm is possible but requires tremendous amount of time and energy. Such extent maybe be detrimental to your health in the long term. Maybe you can try and aim for 170cm or less. Then with shoes you would be around 5'8. You can also add lifts in your shoes. The added height will definitely give you a confidence boost. Remember that lower lengthening = higher chances of safe recovery and may lower the chances of developing complications in the long term. This is the reason why most doctors recommend lower lengthening limits. But unfortunately there are not much studies (if any) that shows the long term effects of LL.
