My goal is having 11cm total height gain, so my options only match with quadrilateral LL. However, i cannot decide if i put 1 year apart or get in 3 weeks apart.

  • If i put 1 year apart from femur to tibia, that means i will have 2 years of adaptation, recovery, going back and forth to US.
  • Also i might not be able to schedule for 2 consecutive years, having 6 months off from work and family.
  • Also i'm concerning about feeling burn out by getting 2 years of pain, not walking, prolonged rod removal time, etc.
  • If i get it 3 weeks apart, then it might be too harsh for me, so that means i might not be able to reach my goal.
  • If i get it 3 weeks apart, then i can move on to my life to recover, that means i will suffer only 1 year.
  • If i get it 3 weeks apart, i can easily schedule without any problems.


Why i just don't get 8cm on femur and move on? Because i think tibia/femur ratio is important, so i don't want to lengthen one segment too much. Also my dream height lies on the 11cm+ size.


I'm doing strecthes and, and will be doing for nearly 1 year to be flexible as possible. Also i will be around 145 pound / 66kg before surgery.
What do you think ?

PS : i'll get precice for femur 6,5cm  + tibia 4,5cm , in US.
