Do LL patients lose the same amount of height as they age ?

Edit Post

I am now in my twenties. I am 1m68 and i would like to increase my height by 7cm or 8cm to 1m75-76. I feel that 7 cm is safer and i am not too comfortable with the idea of going all the way to 8cm. However, i know that humans naturally lose height as they grow old (typically 1 cm every 10 years after age 40). that means that i will slowly go back to being short as i become an old man. My question is : Does anybody know if we lose on average 1 cm every 10 years like most people or we would lose even more height because we got it via surgery ? Thank you !

What I learned years ago in school is that we loose height due to our spine compressing because of gravity and posture, a few cm at most. Your not gonna shrink 8 cm in height otherwise we would see a huge difference in height when we age which we dont.
