Hello all!
I wanted to document my journey of bilateral femur lengthening with Dr. Assyag, and there's no better place than the LL Forum.
Please feel free to provide any tips or ask any questions as well. I am very busy working remotely, but I will check the thread as often as possible.
Starting Height: 167cm
Goal: 173cm
06/10: Right femur surgery
Constant 5/10 pain and soreness following the first surgery. VERY difficult to move the affected leg. Took celebrex and tylenol as prescribed.
06/12: Left femur surgery
Constant 6-7/10 pain and soreness following the second surgery. Over the next 5-7 days pain was at an all-time high and moving was very difficult. The most difficult thing to do was transfer to a toilet.
06/17: Began lengthening on the right leg.
06/19: Began lengthening on the left leg.
06/23: At this point pain was reduced significantly to a very tolerable 1-2/10. There is still some pain with certain movements.
06/27: Ended the day at R: 8.25mm L: 6.75mm
06/28: Had my first follow-up with Dr. Assyag, and got my x-rays taken. Due to everything going well I was accelerated to 1mm per day from 0.75mm
More to come!
You can find specific pricing information at Dr. Assyag's website here: https://www.heightrx.com/
That would be the best source in case he increases or decreases pricing or adds services.
For housing you can either do the HP House which is $15 per day but very limited availability or you can find your own accomodations.
Thanks Dash! I will definitely continue to update this. And I did internal nails Precice 2.2 with 50lb max weight bearing capacity per nail.
Hello all, just wanted to check in and report that I have successfully completed my journey with no complications. I am now onto the consolidation phase. I will no longer be posting, but I do have to say that I highly recommend Dr. Assayag and team. Going with his team was the best decision I could have made.
