I am a 167cm tall female who did LON Tibias 5cm years ago and recovered long ago. But I have very short femurs for my current, and even original, height (I have a long torso and of Asian descent but live in EU).  I am now saving up for internal femurs and want to choose 1 that will have the least visible scars on my thighs.

Thank you, I am seriously considering Dr Franz Birkholtz. It hurts that my shorter femurs make me feel less feminine or attractive in a world that celebrates long legs for women. I wish I didn’t measure myself against that ideal, but it’s hard not to. Now I have noticeably shorter thighs than women my height. I have pale hairless thighs so I really want to minimize visible scars. I have experience with scar care from my tibias.

Ballerina, dear... I think you should have done femurs at the beginning and now you could have 8cm, that means minimum 1.70m total height. Having too long femurs looks much better than having too long tibias. But, i am pretty sure you wouldt have too long femurs.
And, you wouldnt need a second surgery, more money and suffering again, because 1.70 m is more than enough for a woman...
Am I right ?

You are probably right. But I was a poor university student at the time I did LON tibias. LON femurs are a torture and I could not afford even internal femurs in India. I was lucky to have a fairly smooth LON tibia journey in India. Recovered from ballerina foot and no knee pain. Dr Birkholtz seems to recommend at most 65mm for femurs which should not be too long for me as I have short legs and a high sitting height (89-90 cm) to begin with. I have been a working adult for the last several years and am now saving $$. I live in Sweden where 167-170cm women are average height but my thighs are short.

Βetween the 3 precise is the best option. Fitbone used to be totally unreliable, I don't know about ita last versions though. Betzbone, like all mechanic nails, is a joke.
And don't go over 5-6cm at max. Your legs will look weirdly long with 2 LLs and you are a woman, you don't need any extra height for sure.

Thank you! I have a high sitting height (89.5cm) to begin with so my SHR will stay above 0.5 even after 2 CLLs. . I am 167 cm at the moment, so I’m mainly trying to ensure I have better proportions. Your point about keeping amounts reasonable is definitely noted.

Imagine if she procreates with a guy that did this surgery aswell and their kids end up <5'7 LMAOOOOOO
My starting height is about average height for a female except in Northern Europe.  My concern was actually about correcting my proportions (short legs), not a height complex. If you think an average woman having kids is a “genetic disaster,” you’ve spent way too much time on these forums and lost touch with reality.

Listen to the experts ballerina! Body Builder explained it perfectly.

Go for Precice and you'll get the job safe and sound.
That’s the plan, I’ve already had my online consultation with Dr B to map out the specifics. Thanks for the encouragement!
