Yes, I was taking minimal doses of Sustanon (it’s freely sold in Turkey) after the healing stage had begun.
Since I know about HRT/post-cycle therapy, etc., it wasn’t a problem for me.
This helped accelerate consolidation and healing

Can you measure your wingspan to see how much exactly is, because I'm planning to do the surgery but after the surgery my wingspan is going to be 4cm less than my height and im scared im not going to look proportionate

~178 cm
Do you really think people will notice a few centimeters difference in arm length? My friend, who is slightly shorter than me, has hands that are a whole palm longer. That doesn’t affect proportions. Everyone has different proportions—there are no perfect ones.
The forum added so many pointless worries.

Exactly, wingspan is such a pointless metric, I have never in my life looked at someones arm length in relation to their height.
What was the cost of each of your LL surgeries?
Quote from: robindarke on April 23, 2025, 11:10:35 PMWhat was the cost of each of your LL surgeries?
First operation 2019 (LON femur) 18k $ + 2k lon removing
Second 2021 (LON tibia) 20k + 2k
taking into account flights, medicines and other related expenses, I think less than 45k, but now it will be a little more expensive.
Which surgeon did you go to?
Quote from: ChasingTheDream555 on April 24, 2025, 06:38:20 AMWhich surgeon did you go to?
First operation Halil Buldu
Second operation Fatih Arslanoglu
Both doctors are good.
I contacted the assistant again for the second operation (with the same company), their doctor changed, I do not know why, but everything went just as well.
You legs looks awsome bro. Congratz..
I asked about it aswell why have they have changed Halil with Fatih back in 2020. They said because Dr Halil was making too many errors during surgery and they were getting complaints from patients, so they changed him. I never heard anything bad about Dr Fatih.

Yes, I also read that message somewhere on the forum - maybe it’s true.
Dr. Fatih was wondering why the previous doctor inserted the rods into the femur through the knees (instead of the pelvis).
As far as I understand, that's worse for the knees. But in my case, it actually helped. Maybe it was just luck?
A small note about my knees:
I had two surgeries (on the femur and tibia) through the knees. I don’t know why, but my knees stopped hurting. Before my first surgery, I couldn’t walk a couple of kilometers without knee pain.
No joke, sometimes the pain level was worse than wearing the LON fixators. I couldn’t sleep and was taking tons of painkillers. I hadn’t had any injuries or anything else, and my weight was about 70 kg.
Now I weigh 90–95 kg, and I can walk 20,000 steps with no pain in my knees. Including riding enduro and working out (squats/leg press, etc.)
When comparing both doctors, I didn’t notice any significant difference in their professionalism. Maybe it really was just my luck?
PS thought my legs would be skinny after the surgery, but it turns out my calves are now bigger than anyone else’s at the gym - about 44–45 cm. I don’t even train them.
A tip for anyone who wants to grow their calves
