Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask about whether i could gain 10cm safely? If i went with a very experienced surgeon and got two lengthenings with rigorous rehab and PT for a long time, could i return back to my previous athletic ability or even surpass it? If not, what would be the MAX safe limit as I really want to gain at least 3 inches of height.

Got this from Dr. Donghoon Lee:
1. Femur lengthening – max. 8cm (3.15in.); lengthening period of 8cm is about
12 weeks
2. Tibia lengthening – max. 6cm (2.36in.); lengthening period of 6cm is about
12 weeks
3. Femur lengthening of 4cm then 6 months after another 4cm lengthening
(lengthening period of 4cm (1.57in.) is about 6 weeks)
4. Tibia lengthening of 4cm then 6 months after another 4cm lengthening
(lengthening period of 4cm (1.57in.) is about 8 weeks)
5. Femur or Tibia lengthening one leg at a time and lengthening the other leg
(max. lengthening length and lengthening period is same as #1 and #2)
6. Simultaneous tibia and femur lengthening (max 8cm (3.15in.) in total;
lengthening period of tibia and femur each lengthening up to 4cm is about 12
weeks in total)
"You may consider simultaneous tibia + femur lengthening. The possible recommended maximum length is total of 8cm (4cm each) but if the patient’s condition and rehabilitation is good enough then one can possibly go for total of 10cm. Nevertheless, it’s important to consider your overall body proportion with your arm length as well that this should be discussed with Dr. Lee during your initial consultation.""
7. Tibia lengthening up to 6cm then 1 year after femur lengthening up to 8cm
(max 14cm (5.51in.); up to 6cm tibia lengthening and up to 8cm femur
lengthening each takes about 12 weeks)
8. Simultaneous tibia and femur lengthening then at least 1 year after
additional simultaneous tibia and femur lengthening (max 16cm (6.29in.);
lengthening period of tibia and femur each lengthening up to 4cm is about 12
weeks)
Search his videos and about him, and see what he says about recover and etc. Also go to Palley CLL site and see the surgery programs.
Wow this is really helpful much appreciated brother!!

What would be the best combination across femur and tibia for a 10cm gain? I’ve heard that 6 and 4 or 7 and 3 are quite good
