You're braver than me. Are you planning to do a patient diary? I'd love to read it. I wish you the bestttt of luck with all that.

That's what I would probably do if I wanted to leghthen more than 2.5-3 inches.

Well i'm almost the same age as you (soon 20) so obviously i don't have money for it right now. I have a plan how to save it but i don't know.... it's hard to say exactly when(and if i would be alive at this point).

But if i will still stick around here and finally do it then yes, i will make a diary.

I really want to do the first surgery as soon as possible, I am interested in external tibias like you, femurs can wait until we have a good amount of money.

Damn so now we're talking about being dead a few years. I'd be mad if I went through all this legthening and then died like 2 years after.

I wonder how legitimate the doctor in Vietnam is. 5500 for Lon, out of frames in 3 months for 7 cm, includes all the physical therapy and the private room is only 650 a month. Sounds like a damn miracle to me. Too good to be true?
I could literally be done before August 2017 at that rate, wouldn't even have to postpone college...

We're pretty much the same age yeah. Couldn't you just do 9 cm in your femur with internal though?

Me too. This would be so much easier if I were born into a rich family lmao

I don't think you got it right but whatever, let's leave it.

About 9cm... well i don't know about you but i would like to enjoy my new height without constant pains and problems.

I know you meant dead before. I was just saying id be mad if I were dead shortly after too. Just that you never know if you're going to live to 20 or 100.

Well either way, good luck.

I think many doctors will agree on the idea that women look better with lengthened femurs since they can achieve a more balanced look with heels after LL. If you do LL on tibias + heels, it'll look like you're on stilts.

Another thing to think about is how internals are actually cheaper than tibias due to opportunity cost. Let's say you put down 50k for internal femurs and return to work in 6 months vs doing external tibias for 20k. You might save some money in the short term, but you will likely be out for an entire year with external fixators. That's a difference of 6 months during the best years of your life.

What about LON? From what I'm seeing you can get out of the frames in 4-7 months depending on how much you leghthen.
