Hello,

What are your thoughts on the following:

lengthening 7 mm in one shot once a week, every week

VS

lengthening 1mm daily, every day

of course, lengthening daily is more comfortable for the body and for healing.
But do you have examples of people who did lengthen like this (punctually of for their whole lengthening phase)?
Do you think it could be done ? Can muscles take it? Would bone healing catch up?

Thanks,
Roger

I'd particularly appreciate answers about this from surgeons, and from people with knowledge of muscle physiology and bone healing limits

Trying to understand if it's possible to group click as much as possible. From what I've heard the first click is always the most painful but then the following are fine. So it makes sense to group them all together and do all weekly clicks in one session.

I'm not trying to understand whether it's something you recommend, I 'm just looking to hear from experts their thoughts on the possibility of muscle and bone healing when doing so

I have heard a guy lengthened by 7mm in one shot when clicking under anesthesia ...
He only did it once though.
I'm not sure that would be sustainable to do, again and again, week after week, but who knows unless you try ?
The risks are nerve/muscle damage and bad bone healing/non-union.

Apparently, the very first click of each day is super painful, then the following clicks are fine.

So instead of having to suffer one difficult click each and every day, you group them aall in one long clicking session every 7 days so that you only have one first click per week, instead of one per day.

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

But you are no experts, so I'm more interested in getting the opinion of experts in physiology than yours.

Quote from: _ on December 20, 2021, 08:09:00 AMMaybe could work, but with great cost lol. Much slower recovery of bone. Say hello to permanent nerve damage. I recall hearing that nerve and other tissues can grow 0.6 mm per day, so the standard 1 mm per day is already questionable. 7mm will rip your nerves and other tissues. I presume good bruising


Interesting fact, thank you.

Guys, I'm not contradicting what you say. I appreciate your answers and information.
I'm simply trying to gather as many opinions as possible.
Thanks,
Roger.
