Help... what are your thoughts?

Hi,

Before I start I've read this forum a lot and what i'm about to outline is something deeply personal to me and whilst I understand there are many people around the world and indeed on this forum who maybe thinking .. why? you're lucky - I am in no way by asking this advice trying to come across ungrateful for what I have, we all have our own LL journey and this is mine.

I am a 23 year old male, who is currently 63 kg and 176cm. I would like to undergo LL to increase my height by 4.5-6cm depending on what is the safest and most tolerated by my body. My budget is around £40K.

Would people be able to suggest whether LL bilaterally via the tibia is best achieved using internals or externals? which ever is superior the reasons for and against would be appreciated. I am also concerned somewhat about scarring related to externals, do they fade with time, how bad are they due to pin sites compression?

Once again I'd appreciate your advice

Thanks!

Hi AR ,

Thanks for your support it’s really nice to hear! I’ve read a lot about the potential complications but as an experience LL have you had any long lasting effects which limit you day to day?

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had some complications but it’s comforitng to know they’re resolving.
I have a few more questions .. once the consolidation phase is over would I be able to go back to the gym and lift as normal or if not after consolidation at least at some point in the future?

By the gym I mean deadlifts, weighed squats etc? Should the healed bone have normal function and not be limiting ? Can you run normally or near to normal?

I’ve heard a lot about Dr Pariha my only reservation is firstly going to India and the fact that the price is exclusive of a lot of things which Dr Giotikas offers?
