Afonso - Precice II Internal Femurs - Dr. Mahboubian - Sept 2014

Edit Post

Sad, thanks

Slim_Tim, excruciatingly slow especially when sleep deprivation kicked in full gear at about 5cm.

Just came back from Dr M.  confirmed at 8cm both legs. Everything looks good 5 more weeks and I should be able to walk.

congratulatons with your goal.
8 cm is a lot, but in femurs looks like better than tibias.
good luck in your journey.
cheers paco.

Congratulations on achieving such an amazing goal, and becoming a stronger person in the process!

How do you feel that 8CM of lengthening has affected your body proportions? How long do your femurs look in relation to your torso and tibiae? How long do your legs now look compared to your arms, torso, and the rest of your upper body?

What pant inseam did you usually wear before and after the lengthening process?

It would be quite helpful to see se pictures of proportion if it's now too much trouble or inconvinient for you.

Good job man you really did it, I hope you enjoy your new height -8CM is a lot it could easily be the difference between normal/tall or short/average.

Look it's the difference between the guy on the right and the guy on the left -if not even more.



You should tower over people your old height now.

You will tower over people. You are officially at the best part, where each day is better than the last and you get to stand tall!

It's funny that the shortest guy (the one most to the right) in this picture appears to be the one with the longest arms, and the tallest guy appears to have the shortest arms of everyone in the image.

congratulation Afonso. You should be proud of yourself for sticking to your goal (despite a lot of discomfort) and adding the maximum 8cm to your height.
Your sleep should get better with every passing day.
Do you walk using walker or crutches? How is your walking?

HI Paco1, thanks for the well wishes and I agree that femurs look better especially in my case where I
had short femurs to start off

Hi Taller,  thanks from what I can see I’m happy with my proportions but at the moment I’m still suffering with bend knees so can’t really get the full perspective.  I was a 30 inseam will have to get back to you when I can measure.  Once my bent knee goes away I’ll take pictures.

Uppland, thanks for the visual encouragement it is a significant difference.
Programdude, thanks I don’t have to tell you after the ordeal of LL things getting better are very welcomed.

Plzen, thank you I’m still using just the walker but my legs are weak at the moment will be making walking more of a priority as part of recovery.  Sleep is getting better but still not optimal, I waking up frequently at night but can go back to sleep.  Still need to nap during the day to get necessary sleep.   

Goodlucktomylegs, thanks will do my best to keep this updated.
