Im planning on doing 4cm on tibia's next summer with Dr Bagirov in Baku, Azerbaijan

I am currently 169.8cm at night... usually wear lifts that give me 2.15cm of height. So when I am outside in shoes+lifts I am walking around at 174.2.

I still feel short at this height, and regularly see women that are the same height or taller than me. I live in the UK.

My plan is to do 4cm on tibia's so after lengthening I will be walking around at 178.2... I am sure I will feel much better when walking around and wont feel 'short' anymore. Maybe average.

Can someone please tell me how long everything will take? I really just want to know how long from the day of first surgery, to when I can take the frames off and walk without any support, even with a limp.  3 months?

Thanks everyone

thank you so much brother

so for 4cm... it should be around 3 months to start walking without rods and without a walker/crutches?
