Hey! I just came across this site and think it's amazing.
I completed 8cm with precise by Dr. Paley last year and am thinking about tibias. My therapist at the time always joked with me that I would be back to do my tibias and I didn't believe her, but here we are.
Anyone who completed tibias in WPB what are your thoughts?
Also if anyone has any questions, I can try and answer.

I started at 173 cm and am now 181 cm. It’s been a little over a year, I’m not a terribly active person so I feel close to 100%. Every once and awhile, like if I’m walking fast and not really paying attention, I tend to have a “penguin” walk. I’m still in contact with my therapist in west palm and she has given me some targeted exercises to focus on to address it.
Overall I am completely satisfied and would 100% do it again with Dr Paley and I”m almost certain I will do tibias, I just need to mentally prepare for what I should be expecting.

I’m not going to lie…those first two weeks after surgery make you question your decision even with the oxy you’re prescribed. But after those weeks as long as you’re doing what you need to do it’s manageable.
I was prescribed oxy…took it as needed those two weeks (mainly before my therapy sessions) and then saved what I could for “just in case” towards the end. The doctors tell you to use Tylenol after you run out of oxy…but I was given the ok to use Motrin.
Surprisingly a hot shower can go a long way as far as tightness pain.
Where are you thinking/have decided to do surgery?
Quote from: G8788 on July 27, 2023, 08:52:41 PMI think at 181cm we're well into the diminishing returns territory. 173 to 181 is a fantastic boost, but going from 181 to presumably 186 or 187 won't be anything like the same amount of 'gains', socially.
I get that, if I do decide to do them it would be max 5 cm to help with how I perceive my proportions.
