Wanted to share my post recovery experience for any perspective LL's. I did bi-lateral 5.3cm on both femurs, I did a conservative amount, personal preference and reasons. I am very happy just getting above the 5'9 mark. Went from 5'7.25 to 5'9.40. Will not be doing tibia or anything further. Hopefully the links work below.
Looking solid brotha! Were did you go to get your procedure done if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks man, I did precise 2.2 in Las Vegas with Dr. Debi.
Wow you are a runner as like me. Welldone. I will have my surgery next week. Hopefully will reach to 3inches.

The measurements my doctor gave me were 457mm femur and 379mm tibia prior to surgery.
Every cm, not mm !
Your body is affected by every mm or .03 inches, specially soft tissues. You don't get permanent damage from 1cm to the next.
Within 1 cm there is no change, because all the joints contribute to balance the discrepancies.
Only over 1 cm (10mm) the body feel the stress and react...
Read and ask every orthopedist !
There’s alway going to be a change, yes joints do try to balance out the body but the more you lengthen that’s when your athleticism % decreases, if the individual had any. I’m talking about anything over one inch and up. That’s why you see people that have three year post recovery and still walk odd and can barely run, will probably be like that for life.
