I was curious after seeing his video a few years ago on how he did the surgery to prolong his modelling career.

https://m.

This is what he said to me;

Hello, I usually no longer answer questions about my leg lengthening. However, I would like to make an exception: the whole lengthening process is very hard, painful and expensive. It is important that you work a lot yourself by doing stretching and stabilization exercises - preferably before the procedure and afterwards for life. Then you will reach a good level of training a few months after the metal removal. Although you are in the best hands with Prof. Betz, I would not recommend the surgery. Ultimately, however, everyone has to decide for themselves why they want to take on this procedure.

In the first few months, the gait pattern is significantly restricted. However, with the appropriate training and adequate therapy, it gets much better. I no longer have any restrictions.


Yes, I am completely healthy and fit again. But I still stretch and train regularly and have been a great contributor from the start. It was really a very hard path that only very few can walk. Therefore I would not downplay the procedure under any circumstances. This has nothing to do with my previous size.

Very interesting take

Im curious how much height he gained.  "would not recommend the surgery" is rare to hear on here.  I wonder if thats all things considered or if hes just warning people its difficult.  At least he said he made a full recovery.

I say from experience of making tibias for LON. I am a man who was 1.52 m. I remember that in the first week I regretted it bitterly. I thought in my mind, what the fk did I do, I'd rather be a half-dwarf than have gone through this now. I really don't understand who is more than 1.70, but who am I to judge, each person has their goals and desires. Today at 1.56 I'm getting ready to do a femur lol. But that's it, it's a pretty rough physical and mental process. If you have depression, I wouldn't recommend it.

maybe I expressed myself badly. I think if you're a pessimist like me (you complain about everything and always think nothing is good) I think you'll have the worst days of your life doing LL. But if you have good mental health and are optimistic, then you should take it more calmly.

I regretted not having gone to 6cm kkkkk. That's why I'm here again. amazing how 4cm gave me more security. But it's what I said: The process is time consuming and highly tedious and stressful, but in the end it was worth it.

Looks like you did LON tibias.  Thats one of the hardest ways you can go about LL.  If I didnt do internal weight bearing I dont think Id do the surgery at all personally because Id lose my mind.

He went from 178 to 186 so 8 cm.

I can also warn about how difficult it is and personally I would also not recommend it to 95% of people. He is totally right about the training. You need to do so much for so long. And I think most people can‘t fit that into their lives which is understandable. I would only be comfortable saying this surgery is an option for someone that is ready to dedicate their life for many months solely for this AND is suffering immensely from height.

Also I am scared that he says he needs to continue stretching even years later. I hope I can soon slow it down, I will never want to stretch again after many months of stretching 4h every single day I am pretty sick of it.

This could be why Dr Franz in C4L said 6-6.5cm is optimal amount on femurs and after this problems started to increase exponentially. I've also read many LL patients say after 6cm they got much tighter. Permanently being tighter and needing, not wanting to stretch everyday sounds like an annoying tradeoff.
