Internal Femurs with Dr. Mahboubian - Los Angeles

Actually I don't think that 7 CM of lengthening translates to that much of a loss.  It is a few millimeters only.  I've been measuring real height and it is almost exactly as lengthened.

Good tip though. It may change from person to person.

All the best.
Are u sure? If it is a few millimeters,  i would be happy as i am going to have femur surgery within 2 month. How about your proportions?  Does your femur look so longer? I would appreciate if you share some pictures of your proportions

Yes,  it has been discussed before in a couple of previous posts, and now proven (to me) by my lengthening and actual measured height.

I might do that in a few days, or PM you.  I had short femurs and longish arms so my proportions weren't much of a concern to me.  However, currently my tibias are around 16" and femurs almost 19".  I believe this puts me in a 44/54(ish) category of normal proportions (with longer femurs).

I can tell you that for my body type.  I look way better now that before with longer legs.

There's no need to guess about what your actual height gain will be. The angle of your femur is about 10 degrees, and since you want to lengthen 7 cm, use the following formula: 7cm x cos(10) = 6.894 cm. You only lose 1 mm, so it's negligible. If you lengthen less than that, you'll lose even less than 1 mm.

That should be really advantage, your tibia femur ratio will be nearly perfect after 7 cm I think

Didn't know about that, thanks for clarification)

I'm guessing you should be reaching 7cm about now, right?  Curious to hear how quickly you start to feel better after stopping the lengthening.

Hi FormerKidd ,  yes , I'm hitting 7 CM tomorrow 4/06/18 and stopping!  I can wait to see how I feel either after the lengthening stops.

I'll report back.  Thanks.

Oh wow, great news. Seems like it all went by so fast for those of us who were not actually doing the CLL!

Keep us posted, and I'm wishing for the best, LA.
