Cease weightlifting activities using your lower limbs. To reduce weight, engage in cardiovascular exercises in addition to stretching. Also, decrease your current calorie intake. Muscle atrophy pertains mostly to individuals who previously exercised their legs and already have muscle mass there. If you fall into this category, focus on losing the muscle mass you have gained.

10 cm on the femurs is unsafe for anyone unless their starting height is around 190 cm before limb lengthening surgery. The maximum safety standard is 8 cm on the femurs, and to achieve this goal, it is advisable to have a decent starting height of at least above 5’5 / 165 cm and good flexibility before the surgery. Most individuals start experiencing issues after 4-5 cm on the tibias, which is similar to what was mentioned earlier.

In general, it is wiser not to exceed safe limits and maintain good health rather than jeopardizing functionality for a minimal gain of 1-2 cm. Such a small increase is hardly noticeable in reality, and having a good posture can provide a similar enhancement.

May I ask about your starting height?
