Knock knees when overlengthening femurs with LON

Edit Post

I won't be able to afford PMax and PRECICE 2 is torture mentally as you're wheelchair bound for 5 months.

I can risk LON femur for 5 or 6.5 cm (and then lengthen the tibia for 4 or 5.2 cm, respectively). So, in total, I can gain at least 9 cm or 11.7 cm, both of which is very noticeable height increase and my proportions will improve a lot.

8 cm is kinda too much with LON since it gets much harder after 5 cm but 6.5 cm is realistic goal IMO and after that 5.2 cm on tibia is also realistic goal to not get crippled.

Recovery is very important to me but also I want to gain significant height from both procedures so 6.5 cm on femur and 5.2 cm on tibia is half a head in total at 11.7 cm, which is significant height increase and worth it 100%.

5 cm on femur and 4 cm on tibia is the least amount I'd do, below that is not worth it IMO. But, 6.5 cm on femur and 5.2 cm on tibia is the golden point between conservative and risky amounts and that additional 2.7 cm is still something versus 9 cm since every cm is important from 165 to 178 cm and 2.7 cm is significant height since you can gain that much with 2 inch lifts relative to others, which is significant.

I do agree with your points. However I would skip LON since the complication rate is to high and for the reasons stated above, unless you're willing to take a decent risk.

If you don't whey much, you could potentially be able to walk after  the lengthening fase, if your're strong enough. However that is the best case scenario.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford PMax and doing just tibia is not enough for my bad starting height and short legs.

I weigh about 70 kg at 165 cm so it's not an issue.

I have muscular thighs and I'm worried about that though. It will be painful doing LON on muscular thighs it seems.

Anyways, I need to get decent amount of height from double LL and since most height comes from femur, I have to push it for at least 6.5 cm or even 8 cm and then lengthen tibia by 5 or 5.5 cm max. That way I can gain at least 11.5 cm or at most 13.5 cm total height, which is worth the struggle and most importantly, I will look fine even if I do 13.5 cm since my legs are comically short for my torso right now.
