After months of deliberation, I have finally decided that I want to get limb lengthening surgery, but I do have a few questions.
I am 5'4 and hoping to gain 4 inches to be 5'8. Are there any doctors in the US that would be willing to add 4 inches? Because I know it's recommended not to go above 3 inches. Second, how long would recovery be if I did proceed to gain 4 inches through surgery? Is it possible to get the surgery in early August of this year and be able to walk normally by January? If not, what would the recovery process be like and when could I expect to return to my normal walk? What would you describe the pain to be and what can I do prior to the surgery to ensure quick recovery time?
