Good rule of thumb for external fixator is 1.5-2 months for every cm lengthened. It would not take 9 months to lengthen 3 cm lol.

Furthermore, like I said I am going to be out of state for medical school and won't be around my normal friends, family or my gf

Also, I stated that I will get the operation done over a 3 month summer break. Once classes start, I can just tell my classmates/friends I got surgery done to fix my bow legs "if" they do notice the fixator underneath my baggy sweats. I will be wearing 1 inch lifts + Nike Shox prior to my surgery so they do not notice any change in my height.

Alright 7 if you include distraction. It's your choice but for 3 cm you might as well use the shoes. If I was content with just 4 cm I'd wear insoles and forget about the surgery.

from Dr. Salameh himself:
" Lengthening 3 cm is very easy , i suppose in one and half month you can finish lengthening period , then you can leave for consolidation period and come back later for final fixators removal  .
About Visa depend what country you are living ?
I suppose 5 or 6 months is enough for the whole process, and the most important early walking and mobility.
if any more questions please let met me know"
