Hello,

Just curious, are you being paid by live life taller to advertise them? Because it seems like it. Nothing wrong with that, I just want to know.


Are you Brain or one of live life taller employees?


Good luck 👍🏼

There seems to be an advertising deal between this guy and the livelifetaller to suppress the current news of osteomyelitis and other complications and fix their image. They think we are idiots who will fall this crap 😂😂.

It definitely seems like this guy is getting paid off my LLT. They are posting a 5-10min video of this guys journey everyday!

As a young single man I really can't bring myself to publicly disclose my surgery when I do it. I have absolutely no issues telling people about my hair transplant but not LL. Much like it took some brave souls to come forward with their hair transplants (which I think has very little "shame" associated to it now), it takes some brave souls to come forward with their LL.

I appreciate you going public with your case immensely. Since you are 183 cm I hope this helps remove any stigma around the surgery, this isn't a surgery that only short people do. This is a surgery for people who don't feel right in their skin or feel like that word has dealt them the short end of the stick.

Life is brutal and unfair, but with science we can try to make it better.

I really hope one day, when the surgery is safer, people will see this as "going to the gym, but for your height".

If LL becomes like going to the gym for your height then won't you just be back at square one since the natural 188cm men won't tolerate losing their height advantage to a former short person and get the surgery themselves.

This surgery IS for short men or at least about average ones.
Of course it is not for taller than average ones like diet is not for already thin people.
If someome is not "right on his skin" and especially on his height while being 1.83 and wants to do 2 LLs, not even one, by doing LON to some turkish butchers then he is even a madman or is being paid for it.
In either cases these people are not brave nor anything like the things you wrote.
In reality they are examples to avoid when we talk about LL.

This person had surgery to livelifetaller and he had a ballerina problem. He became 6'3 from 6'0. I think he will have his second surgery now...

Yes, it's obvious he is getting at least a substantial discount.
Quote from: Siegfried on December 24, 2022, 02:12:52 PMHey, I have done tibia+ femur myself. All the surgeons I talked to recommed not to go over 5-6cm on tibias. Dr. Buldur, while he might be a qualified surgeon, is notorious for letting his patients overlengthen! If you dont want to have long-term issues and jeopardize  your physical health, dont go over 6cm on tibias.

The same applies for 8cm on femurs, there is a reason why the precise nail is limited to 8cm. Almost all of the people on this forum who lengthen over 9cm, regret not sticking to below 9-10cm in the long run. The risks of complications increase exponentially above a certain thresthold when lengthening.

Feel free to dm me anytime!
I think he ended up doing 10cms(!!!) on femur and 7(!!!) on tibia. He got knock knees and ballerina, and now he deleted his instagram.
There is that other guy on LLT, @le_tremba, who did 10-11cms on his femurs. That's completely unsafe.

While I hope they both recover fully hopefully it serves as a lesson for everybody else. Do not over lengthen, stick to 8 or preferably 5cms on femurs. Never go above 6cms on tibias.
It's not about losing athleticism and not being able to compete in the olympics. It's about not being able to walk normally or go up stairs.
