That is why I’m afraid to do full 8cm~~
5 cm is what I aim for personal
Do you notice it looks off proportion from side profile of your body? Femur to tib ratio, especially when bending knees? Like knees are very low
Does being nkkd exagerate it?
Quote from: more on August 21, 2021, 05:41:48 PMDoes Paley say 8 cm is safe limit with LON Femur?. I doubt. I think you are misquoted Paley here
In the presentation Paley gives regarding why he limited the precise 2 nail from being allowed to lengthen over 8cm he never stated that 8cm was the "safe max" or anything close to that. He said problems rise exponentially over 8cm but patients wanted more than the 6.5cm the original precise nail allowed. So it is more of a compromise that he allows 8cm than any sort of "safe max".

As somebody who has done 5cm, let me assure you that your recovery will be perfect. Almost too perfect - after a month you will be ready to walk again. I recommend 6cm, just so you can leave knowing feeling very accomplished.

Are you happy with the 5?

Very reassuring. 6 may be max of my aim. Biggest concern is proportion,recovery, and safety.

I am 1 million percent happier being 5cm taller. Would I be happier with even more? Of course, who wouldn't.

In all politeness, nobody gives a sh*t about proportions. Please don't fool yourself bro. At the end of the day, your standing height is all people really care about. And an extra 2 inches anywhere won't make you look strange (unless the section you are lengthening was already long to begin with).
Recovery depends on how much PT you are doing before, during, and after the procedure.
Safety? Throw that out the window too. All of this is dangerous - that's the price we pay for greatness.

Yeah I can not stress how much physical therapy and inactivity will make or break your success. I developed a flexion contracture on my right leg from not doing PT and after 1 week of PT it’s Halfway gone but it’s a punch in the d*** trying to get rid of it, the stretching and exercises are difficult af.
Lack of physical therapy and inactivity will make you develop deformities/contractures and imbalances which are hard and painful to correct, especially after 5cm mark.
Doing PT helps you retain ROM and prevent problems, instead of having problems and then trying to correct them which wastes so much recovery time
I am also much less stiff since starting pt after the frame removal and can sleep so much better and am so much more comfortable. Obviously nowhere as close as comfort to Pre-op but when you’re stiff waist down it really affects your sleep. I can sleep 7-8 hrs a night finally without melatonin even. I do wake up every couple hours usually to turn or something but compared to the last 100 days this is the best I’ve ever been mentally since starting this process

Bigger is not always better, especially for beauty. Proportionality and symmetry are important factors. Even inspired the Vitruvian man standard of beauty. 8cm is the edge of proportion normalcy in concern with proportion, as far as what I see here on the diaries. For most people at least. Always outliers. Again, just my opinion. Beauty is in the eye of beholder.
