Lengthening Amount Recommended

Hello, everybody,
I am new here, so please be patient with any mistake or inconvenience.
I think I am in the topic about the recommended/indicated/safest amount of limb lengthening.
According to my previous research, a fundamental item to evaluate that is the starting point, that is, the original lenght of the bone. I don't understand why doctors don't include this variable in their information.  Are they all a bit commercial or isn't this item not that important? It real seems to be relevant, at least from a common sense point of vue. It's "bad" because very short people like me (152cm) will be candidates to less lengthening, but anatomy and physiology are not made of wishful thanking.
The maximum safe lengthening amount I read was 20% of initial lenght. This is to be taken into account together with other things, like bone density, flexibility, etc.
What's your opinion and information on this? Have you questioned the doctors?

Lee is only better option than Parihar if you want to pay 2 to 3 times the price for a doctor with over decade less experience just so you can eat Korean noodles in a shiny hospital.

I used to consider Lee but researched and now believe if you can afford Lee you should just go to Parihar and use that extra money to stay in the luxury Mumbai hotels that have mostly international visitors.

7 cm is generally going to be fine in the femurs, but only your doctor can make that decision.

Do you know what the advantage/disadvantages of supra vs infra?

I wish growing 3.5 or 4 inch could be risk free 

Femur max 9cm safe 7cm / Tibia max 7cm safe 6 cm (except for flexible and tall people they may exceed these figures)

With consistent and professional therapy throughout the lengthening process, along with good PT-Patient-Dr communication  for pain management , slowing the rate of lengthening and dedication to stretching you should be able to achieve 8cm in the femurs. There are many options available to safely achieve 8 cm but its hard work and dedication.

Given how hard it is to achieve 8cm and the amount of resistance from your body like it is screaming at you to stop lengthening would you consider it a sign that pushing through to that point is bad for your body long term?

lmao several of Buldu and Betz's patients did 11 on femurs all the time
