I'm new to this forum and am considering LL with Dr. Guichet the end of 2016. I am 45, so a little skittish on the age, and there is always a small probability I might lose my job (although as a contractor, I can take a long leave). I am 165cm and sometimes wear 1.5" lifts, but I still can't shake my height. I also have a long standing injury, foot drop, and looking to just lengthen femurs. Is my age or expectation of 3" unreasonable?
Thanks

Thanks much. According to his website, he has lengthened up to age 65 (?) if I recall. I know it's a personal issue, but some other surgeons limit the age. Does anyone know, other than possible osteoporosis, what the other risk factors are? I know the Russian clinics stop at age 40 I believe?
