I said in my original post that I did expect to use that as it is unsafe. The shoulders get pushed down. I was saying about doing something with a neck brace and stretching to gain a few mm there.
When will there be an option to LL?
The reason I want to do 4 cm instead of 5 is because I dont know how my bones will heal and I want to go back home in 3 months using LON to have the frames taken off before I come back.

Its a good idea to length within a small amount when you use externals.

You say the most random stuff.

What do you mean, didn't get it
You do say random stuff where do you hear some of these things lol. What makes internal better then external in terms amount you can lengthen? You're still lengthening the same bone,nerves,blood vessels,connective tissues etc. Faced with the same complications sometimes more. It's way more comfortable tho I'll give you that
Those tribes that lengthen their necks with rings takes years and they never take off the rings their necks would most likely snap if they come off this isn't an option to get taller it's not realistic

Yeah, you can argue that externals will give you the same max lengthening capacity. But with the added pain from having pins go through your skin and muscles, I think you are less likely to achieve your goal vs if you had internals.
Biggest reasons to get internals are comfort, stealth and minimal scars. A good internal patient can weight bear a month after distraction, and he can return to normal activities like eating out and going to the park. I dunno bout you, but 2 clunks of metal would keep me indoors for a year.

Totally agree internal is the better method but not for the reasons he has been stating
