we have no idea if this guy even had ll. The video could be of a guy who had a badly sprained ankle and was testing his leg out to see if he was back to normal
If you think you can lengthen 6 cm, and move like that 8 months after the initial surgery, I guarantee you will be very disappointed

I think 4 cm is a great goal.
Tbh, this post is like Megan fox or Angelina Jolie wanting to do plastic surgery or Christina Hendericks wanting to get breast implants lol. (except this surgery is a lot riskier and dangerous)
Dude, you're like 5'11.5, why would you want to go through all that pain, difficulty, time and money consuming procedure? It's not legit in your case. Where do you live?
Dude, you have your reasons for CLL and that's fine. I'm not going to judge you for wanting to be taller at any height. Everyone has their vanity.
However, you will not be 100% athletically after you lengthen. You just won't. The safest lengthening amount to be 100% athletically, physically, whatever, is ZERO MMs. You are breaking two healthy bones and stretching your tissue beyond its natural capabilities, your muscles will atrophy during recovery, and it will be 1.5 - 2 years realistically before you have full range of motion, are fully weight bearing, and have your nails removed.
Common sense and logic dictates you're going to trade off something in terms of physical/athletic ability when this much happens to your body. Drs. here have stated this, so did my family doc, and 2 orthos I consulted. I asked multiple physicians because, even though I knew better, I was hoping for the miracle of full recovery like everyone else here. It's just not possible.
However, life is all about making choices. I have a good starting height also, and I'm doing the surgery. I'm incredibly active in sports, always have been, and I know I'm going to lose a step athletically once I'm done. But I made that choice and made peace with it. Know that that will happen and either choose to do it or don't.
I do agree with the other users here that if you're going to go through with such an invasive elective procedure, I'd go for more than 4 CMs if possible. Pick a reputable Dr. and do the lengthening without a biceps femoris tendon release, and lengthen until your body and Dr. tell you it's time to stop. Do tons of Yoga and Pilates before hand, and go in with plenty of flexibility and in the best shape of your life before the surgery. While I don't believe in Dr. Guichet's nail, I do think his method of physical preparation in terms of muscle mass, flexibility and overall physical conditioning most likely gives someone the best chance to come out of this surgery with the best possible outcome.
Best of luck
LL is a business, most doctors will most likely do it for him not for 2-3 cm though. Paley and rozbruch used to have height requirements and lifted those paley talked about doing it on a 5'11 patient when he talked about height requirement. It's pointless for you to do less than 4 CM I wouldn't suggest anymore though. 1.5 inches is a pretty good difference. I think if you go through it you should do external tibias.
Many people here envy your height, so of course they're going to discourage you. Do not think this is a walk in the park though, the surgery is easy to talk about but not easy to do. 4 cm you will make a good recovery if everything is done correctly, 3 will be even better. I'd say you're looking at a 10-15% loss in athletic ability. Although some have claimed full recoveries after 5 cm.
You may also develop exertional compartment syndrome and be unable to run for more than mere seconds unless you get a fasciotomy, which will be another expense and a minimum 6 week recovery period along with more required physiotherapy.
Another risk is bone pain during cold weather or rain.

Price isn't determined by amount lengthened, therefore a doctor viewing limb lengthening purely as a business venture would have no issue in accepting a patient for 2-3CM of lengthening.
