If that's him then he does sound quite good:

I consulted him at his practice in Berlin, which is where I live. I will probably go through with quadrilateral lengthening with him. My goal is 10cm, so i will probably split it up the following way:

- tibias: 4-4.5cm
- femurs: 5.5-6.5cm

- Costs: 120k €

120k euros lawl? Do you mean 2 CLL's or just one? I think it's 2.

edit: I'm so sorry, I'm kinda asleep and I just realised you mentioned "quadrilateral lenghtening".

As stated quadrilateral lengthening of both segments. So yes, two separate surgerys within 1 month.

Highly recommend against quadrilaterals. Nearly every outcome I've seen went like this 1) extreme pain and they had to stop lengthening early and essentially gained less than if they just did femurs 2) or met their goal but suffered literally months at a time, and huge regret and suffered way more than if they had just done femurs, suffer like lucifer torturing

Even the extreme work ethic person Optimistic1 felt like he was in hell and wanted to die doing quadrilaterals. He Never Recommends it

Just do a 1 year gap, or if you're in a rush 6-8 months. Or just do Femurs and if you're not satisfied do Tibias later. That's the recommendation of pretty much every surgeon. Try Femurs, and you'll likely be fine. doing quads is torture essentially

With 8cm Femurs, you get to 175, great height. Then you can do 5cm tibias later after a year and get to 5'11.

Better result than quads

Or u can do ur intended plan, 6cm Femurs, boom boom. Wait like 5-6 months then get into Tibias. Boom boom ciao. 4cm on this. Perfect you still suffer but not anywhere near as much as both at the same time

The plan is to tibias first and then eventually do femurs 3 weeks later. If its too much initial pain, I could still postpone the femur surgery.

hey siegfried
we pretty much have the same stats lol
i think tibs first is a smart call!
while doing femurs 3 weeks later does pose risks if you are able to hold off that is probably best
however worst case scenario: if the pain becomes unbearable and you havnt reached your lengthening goals yet. you should stop lengthening your femurs and finish your tibias. then you can always go back and rebreak your femurs and finish lengthening.

Generally speaking there are always risks.
In my case, im a top candidate for the surgery.  I'm in my mid twenties and in very good shape. Ive run marathons and have played a lot of football (soccer for the Americans here). Do yoga and blackroll multiple times a week. There is a lot you can do in your favor to minimize your pain before surgery. Of course, I'm aware this not equate to no pain, but I think it might make a significant difference.

Movie (note: only femurs) and Myevolution (quadrilateral) are good examples, of how important youth and stellar physical shape are and what differnce it can make during the lengthening period.
