Maybe even x rays can have some differences compared to reality due to view point. Ct scan is always more accurate.
Anyway still nothing to worry about. The discrepancy is small and it will be fixed before you stop lengthening by lengthening a few days more on the shorter leg when you stop lengthening the longer leg.
I already finished lengthening and had the frames removed. Ct-scan seems logic actually. The weird thing here is that they were almost equal on last Xrays three weeks ago and now there is 0.7 mm's between them. I guess it is from the point of view of the X-ray but the left is shorter in both the AP and BILATERAL X-rays.

Then I hope that the difference is less in reality and it is mainly due to the angle of the x ray.
If you do a ct scan and the difference is about 0.8 cm then it is not much but not so few either. Probably it won't cause you any problem but any discrepancy more than 0.5mm should be fixed at least with insoles.
How have you been feeling? You seemed to be regretting things a bit a few posts ago. I'm sure you'll feel better as time goes on, though. Has your mood about height fluctuated a lot, however?
I’ve started to go to public areas and used the airport twice so far with my new height. I’m really happy with it. Some of my friends visited me and they’ve immediately told me that I looked much taller. Also my friends who knows about the surgery are saying that my new height looks really nice. I feel really good now even though my two major problems continue:
1. I want so badly to smoke
2. I want so badly to workout I gained 10kg and a lot of fat.
You have to do a telemetry

What is that mate ?
Jexus do you how many other cosmetic limb lengthening cases this doctor has dealt with? What motivated you to pick Dr Muharrem?
I find it strange that there does not seem to be any other diaries for this doctor despite him being listed on this site as offering cosmetic LL since 2014. He does not seem nearly as expensive as some other doctors assuming the prices have not increased much since then. So im curious why we dont see more diaries from people using this doctor?
Could it be just down to the location of turkey being perceived as more dangerous to travel to?
Congrats on your new height though.
Do you know if his email address below is still valid as I saw others mention that they had emailed him without response.

I don't know the exact number of cases but I'm sure he has done a lot because every time I go to his clinic I see different lengthening patients. He also does arm lengthening. I'm not sure but another patient wrote in his diary that Dr. Inan had worked with Dr. Paley, if it is right he must be really experienced.
Why I choose him?
He has a really good reputation amongst Turkish doctors. Really famous in Turkey regarding limb lengthening. His clinic is at a really good place and it is 10 minutes to my house. Also, I don't know any other doctors specialized in LL in Turkey and at times I visited him before the surgery to ask about the details I felt comfortable with him.
So I'm curious why we don't see more diaries from people using this doctor?
I think that including me there are 3 tibia and 1 femur lengthening diary of Dr. Inan in this forum.
Could it be just down to the location of turkey being perceived as more dangerous to travel to?
I don't know, maybe. But I'm sure that it is perceived safer than Vietnam or India. Just like every other town in Istanbul, there are streets like Nişantaşı, Beşiktaş, Levent which are completely safe, luxurious and developed with high-quality shops restaurants and skyscrapers and also there are streets like Bağcılar, Tarlabaşı, Gaziosmanpaşa which are poor and dangerous.
Dr. Inan's clinic is at a great place. You won't have to think about safety or anything if you do the process with him. If his clinic was at one of the lasts I wouldn't go to him either.

I don't know, probably not valid. But I would suggest you to call his clinic.

Today I decided to start working out. I will buy two 8kg's.
Sad thing is I have to lose weight but I can't go on a diet if I want my bones to heal.
