8cm tibia & 12cm femur

Edit Post

Would a doctor in Turkey, India, or Russia do 8cm on the tibia or 12 cm on the femur if you ask them or are there prerequisites? Yes, I do know it's well beyond the safe limit and I understand it so please don't lecture on that. From what I understand you grow around 1mm every day so if I wanted 8cm on the tibia or 12cm on the femur on 2 separate occasions would that mean we keep it 80 and 120 days respectively on each and it will reach the desired height or it would stop growing at some point? If it's that easy why don't more people do it instead of doing a simple 8+5cm ?

I guess by money you mean the hotel length that will get extended right?

Fair enough

If you're lengthening that much, expect to slow your lengthening rate to well below 1mm a day past the 6-8cm point.

Doing that amount of lengthening is never recommended and 99% of people can't tolerate it...

Those kinds of gains are unsafe.  Even if you do reach it, your body's biomechanics and changes, center of gravity, muscle loss etc will take you like 3 years to recover.  And even so, you won't have the physical abilities you did before, not even close.

You're not going to be able to do it. Even suggesting 1mm a day on tibias tells me you don't understand the limitations of this surgery. Without even knowing your wingspan, I already know your proportions are going to be terrible and will likely necessitate arm lengthening too...but thats assuming you'll even be able to walk after going to such an extreme.

I only know of 4 people who have achieved that extension, two of them seem to be "fine" but the rest I have no idea of ​​their lives today. A 15-16 cm extension as done at the Paley Institute is safe.
