Hello everyone,  I have a question regarding difference between wearing shoe lifts and doing LL surgery. Currently I am wearing shoe lifts which increases my height by 6 cm totally and it helps my tibia look longer. Now in this summer, i want to do LL surgery. My question is that after lengthening my tibia by 6 cm,  will my height look as same as I look with my 6 cm shoe lift or It is going to appear me same as before with my shoe lifts?

I am wearing elevator shoes + insole which increases my height by 6 cm. But don't u think that after LL,  wearing insole makes your tibia look so longer? Maybe I should do femoral lengthening then should wear 3 cm insole?

Quote from: myloginacct on January 02, 2018, 10:25:16 PMYour tibias will be longer so they will look longer than before. Sorry, it's a bit hard to get the question.

And if you can live with just lifts, you should do that, and avoid LL.
No,  it is  impossible to live with insoles. They hurt too much

No,I don't feel okay at all. It hurts sometimes and when it comes to take off my shoes, I feel a bit sad and shorter. i will wear lifts after surgery but i think my tibia will look soo longer because of surgery 6,5 cm+ 3 cm lifts

Have you done LL surgery?Quote from: theophilo on January 03, 2018, 11:57:14 AMI use Nike Air shoes that give me 3 cm and I already feel like I'm cheating while most people of my generation have the same kind of shoes
But now I only wear that kind of shoes

I think no, it makes tibia look longer. Look at my pic in the picture below. I have worn elevator shoes+ lifts which increases my height by 6 cm..My tibia length is 37 and femur length is 45.  But in this picture, my tibia looks long

Exactly,  i did my research for 4 month. But it seems impossible to wear higher heeled shoes with long tibias. Cause It may look  strange maybe

Also some doctors says that before LL don't wear insoles. But if I get rid of them now, people will notice that my height has decreased
