Deciding the Order of Limb Lengthening Surgeries: Femur Before Tibia or Vice Ver

Edit Post

Originally, I planned to undergo simultaneous limb lengthening of both my tibias and femurs in Korea. My idea was to start with surgery on either the tibias or femurs, complete the lengthening process, and then immediately proceed with surgery and lengthening of the other bone.

However, I'm now considering spacing out the surgeries by a year—doing one first and then the other later. I'm wondering whether I should lengthen my femurs first and then my tibias, or if the order doesn't make a difference.

I'm 168-ish cm, and I'm aiming to do 5cm for tibias and 6cm for femurs. I've seen people do like 6cm tibias and 7cm femurs which I find pretty wild.
