Help- Trying to get acquainted with the Forum and considering LL

Edit Post

Hello everyone, I am a recently turned 17 year old guy currently standing at 5’3, the last time I went to the doctor was in January and he gave me an estimate of 5’6 but I never grew, I then with to an endocrinologist and he gave me a closer estimate of 5’4 at best, I just turned 17 at the end of September and I am due for another appointment to see how far my plates have closed since they refused me HGH. ( I made around 100 m/l of HGH a day) Me and my parents are considering LL at maybe eighteen but first I’m going to get a hair transplant since I’m showing stages of MPD.

Here are my questions;

What is the most effective and less costly method that can bring me as close as possible to 5’8?

What is the safest method?

How long will I need to recover?

What’s the maximum height I can achieve if I maxed out on Leg Lengthening?

Should I lengthen my femur, tibia or both?

Thank you for your time.

Can explain what cross lengthening is, how expensive it is and the maximum height I can get out of it?

So 3 inches on my femur and 2 on my tibia, or do you mean another 2 on my femur after I recover?
