Did any of you try anything like GH before?

But why do you say just after finish lenghtening? As far as I read it also stimulates osteoblasts formation in the bone callus, during lenghtening.  If you produce less osteoblasts during lenghtening, its hardening may become slower and won't contribute to more elongation. .

I agree. Dunno why since he finished lengthening he still considered it worthwhile to throw that question to his surgeon. But I think GH is not the only 'magic medicine' to accelerate the recovery even though it could and there are already other options for patients to speed up the recovery.
And I gotta admire your enthusiasms and dedications into osteotomy

I would be concerned that GH would cause preconsolidation, but, you're right. I'll ask.

Yes, it's worth questioning, I wasn't too concerned as I am not very young.

I will have a consultation with a local orthopedic doctor just to have his advice on several issues about LL, altough he doesn't do ''cosmetic'' surgery.
One of the questions I intend to make is if it makes sense and when to use GH.
Have you had any further info on that?
