Quote from: alwayslucky on February 07, 2022, 04:39:00 AMIs it easier for me to be 3cm than 5cm? Of course, this is just a small idea that I suddenly came up with, and it seems that no one has ever done so, but it is indeed the minimum length I can accept, And I think it's worthy.Obviously it will recover faster, There is an old Chinese saying called "long dreams at night". With the increase of length and time, the risk of more complications seems to be greater .so I would like to ask you to say (especially the friends who have finished the operation). When you (or you think) do the first 3cm, Do you think it's much easier than the next few centimeters? And will the probability of major complications be reduced?
Thank you in advance for your answers!!
There are "normal" Dr Martens shoes and boots that add 6 cm.
Also, if you do 4 cm you are still under the minimal safe amount for all surgeons I know of (5cm). I doubt any of them take surgery risks because of 3 cm because the minimal target at least known in this forum is really also 5 cm. They will question your motivations and hardly accept them for 3 cm (I speculate).
The worst risks are even independent of lengthening: thrombosis due to surgery, anaesthesia accidents, sepsis or hard to manage infections, and still, by less experienced doctors, harm to muscles, tendons and nerves during surgery, for example.
