6 or 12 cm? (mockup)

Yea, sure.
But I think I could have second operation done after one year. Because 5cm is not that much.
Then, I'd do second operation, 5cm on tibia. I guess after doing 5cm on tibia I can recover in 6 months.
So this whole process would last for a year and a half. Am I right?

You have to consider possible complications, but if we see this without that, 5 cm with internal nails can be achieved in 2 months, after that you will have to wait other 5-6 months to be really recovered and you could do second operation without problems. Your approximation is very real, give or take a couple of months.

Removal of nails is 1 year post.op, but there is not problem if you do second operation before. You should check Cooper diaries, he did femurs and after tibias.

If you're just looking for feedback on cosmesis, in terms of legs:torso ratio it's no question in my opinion, you look more normal to me with both segments lengthened. It is true though your arms do seem short, so that would kinda be up to you, but overall looks pretty sweet to me!

Yea, I haven't considered possible complications, but if we exclude them, it would take about a year and a half.

I'll check Cooper diaries, thank you!

Thanks! Yea, I know I have pretty long torso compared to my height, and not that long arms.
But I think it wouldn't be that noticeable, at least, less noticeable than my torso/legs ration now. Haha
