Recently I want to lengthen my thighs through external lon femur. I see that most people on the forum are against this method. The main reason may be that the fixation needle will tear and pull the muscles. But I am curious why there are a lot of case videos like afa and livlifetaller, and the lengthening amount is almost 6-10 cm, and the people in the videos look very happy? Assuming that this is a method that is not suitable for long-distance lengthening, if this method is used to lengthen the lon femur, is it safer to only lengthen it by 3-4 cm? Because I want to do a 4 cm lengthening, I checked the information mentioned by Dr. Paley. Usually, thighs below 4 cm can fully recover their preoperative function, so I want to do a 4 cm lengthening. If it is a 4 cm thigh lengthening, is lon femur still a safe method? I want to use this method because this is the only option in my country, and I cannot go abroad for lengthening.
