Hi, I mainly started this topic to find out who would be the safest and, simultaneously, most inexpensive doctor to go to if I'd like a lengthening of about 5/6 inches. I know that this may require two separate lengthenings and I'd have to do femur and tibia, but any knowledge/experience discussion would be appreciated.
Thank you.
That's WAY too much.

Even with 2 separate surgeries and a minimum of one year in between them?

It doesn't matter how many surgeries, 7-8 inches is a massive amount to add to your legs especially at a starting height of 5'1. Assuming by your username you're a girl, why do you feel compelled to lengthen so much?
7-8cms(3 inches) would be a rational amount.

I would really like to be around 5'8-5'9. This isn't just something I decided within a day, I've been thinking about this for about a year now, and also know that my first surgery wouldn't be until 2018, giving me a lot more time to figure it all out. But, what would you say would be the maximum someone could do when getting 2 separate operations done? For example, on http://www.leg-lengthening.com/More%20FAQ.pdf , for Dr. Peng in China, it says that 5 inches can be achieved with 2 surgeries.
I changed the title/info for this topic. After reading more about LL i realize that lengthening that much would be crazy. (I apologize for my uninformed self.) But around 12-15 cm I've read is doable.
It doesn't matter how long you've been thinking about it or what your dream height is, what matters is "what can I do that won't destroy my body?" and the answer is about 3 inches. 5'4 is arguably the most normal height for a girl.
12cms is "doable" but I wouldn't trust it until you find patients who have done 12cms and are walking/running fine.
just do two inches
I think 10 cm with 2 surgeries is good. Do not listen to others, they know no more than you. Tell your doctor has.
If in some plays you here should not exceed 2cm
In any case it is clear that there are significant risks that you choose to 3 cm or 6-7 cm
but i think 15 cm is the maximum, even if we have a few cases of people who have managed to make 20 cm in naturally losing mobility
do 5-7cm on tibias. If after you will not be happy do femurs
