As long as you get 3 inches, the opinion or family is irrelevant and accept It, you May have to start a new life.

I would be satisfied with 3 inches in the tibias.

I would too but my tibia are much too long to allow for that
 Besides I want to keep my lengthening conservative (6cm)

3 inches in tibias are too dangerous. Really you should only do 5cm on tibias. I still think having longer tibias than femurs must effect the body mechanics somehow. I would like to know if anyone currently has this and if it effects their walking.

Just because it worked well for someone else does not mean it will work well for others. Leg lengthening in general is dangerous but doing 7cm on tibias has more risk than doing 7cm on femurs. Odds are that this will bring someone into the longer tibia than femurs territory which is not natural and can't be good. Look at Swedens diary, he did 7cm on tibia and had problems.

I think if you do pure external you Can take more cm, doing lon It is more difficult, It Can cause xlegs or misaligents. Also Remember that the amount lengthened is not the sane that the amount gained.

I did a thread a few days ago asking about tibias and externals. KiloKhan asked Parihar and he said losing height with externals is rare and the most you can expect to lose is a few mm which is 0.5 mm to a few mm. Barely any difference.
