Femur lengthening - Jan/2021 w Dr. Koehne Strdye, Germany

Edit Post

Hey brother erkan

I had you in my prayers and was actually going to message you to ask how it has been going for you.

Pics look awesome and so so happy to hear results r clear.

I too had my blood test and dimmer levels now down from below. Still not normal but have another test end of month and by then would be in normal range.

I agree with you new height just looks so awesome. It’s like shock when u wake up and you have these tall legs.

I am close to 182 cm but I started with 176,5 so it’s relative to each of us.

I am contemplating pushing full 8cm coz in effect I would only get 7.3 to 7.4 cm.

Are you going to do same.  My flexion rom and all is good. And I am only doing .5 mm distraction. So all under control.

Are you going to start to distract further ?

Let me know brother

Hey ahd!

Its great to hear you are doing better! Yeah I do have to get used to the new height either.
I will stop at 5cm. So only 2mm distraction. I will not go further. My End height is your starting height .
I could push another cm but I feel like this is the perfect height for me. It fits my body and feels right.
I wish you the best, and a fast recovery my friend!

I've tried on some new clothes to see how I look in them now. i am really happy with my height and proportions now. maybe I still make 3mm to have full 5cm if possible.
Ive made some pictures in a self Photo Shoot :p

as a reminder, this is how I looked before. Unfortunately not in the same clothes. maybe I'll make a comparison with the same clothes in the future

thanks for your support!

Hi again Erkan !!
After seeing the 2 photos you look better and much taller now ... If you are going to try to increase 2 mm more I suppose it is because you are already much better. I'm really glad you got over the shock and are happy with your new height.
I began to feel the difference in height when I was reaching 4 cm, and every time you feel better ...
Hope it all goes well for you,
Keep strong my friend !!

dear Erkan,

You are looking great. I hope that this operation will cure your mental difficulties and finally stop your dependency on the medications and you will become the kind person to the world. Even though I cannot see your face in the photo I can see your smile.

regards,
sergio

Erkan did you lenghening the femur ?

Hey!
Yes I did Femur +5cm. Ive made a clip with blue skinny jeans. It shows the femur, but I think it doesnt catch the eye. Im wearing the compression stockings under the jeans. It makes the jeans look even tighter.

Congratulations my friend !!
You look tall and with good proportions. You also walk quite well after lengthening 5 cms ...
Keep it up, sure that you will soon regain your athletic ability before the surgery ...
