Hey everyone! I’m a 4’11 girl who is 27 year old. I am considering limb lengthening from Turkey, external tibia. Can tell me how difficult the process would be? How bad would the scars be? Besides the infection, external frames+ scar factor, is the recovery after say first 4 months with either precise or LON the same? My family is obviously not for the idea but I think I really want to. Also 4’11 is 150cm, can I do 3 inches ie 8cm. If I’m paying so much why not do 3. I play a lot of sports, how soon will I be able to get back to that life?

Yeah but precise isn’t weight bearing at all, LON is. So with one there is scars, but at the same time it’s much cheaper & weight bearing. Although I’m 44kgs which isn’t much but apparently with precise I’ll need to be in wheel chair during the lengthening phase of 2.5 months- which seems a lot.

Can you tell me more about this nail, the doctor & price? How long was the recovery? Think I can go back to my country after the procedure?  Thanks a lot for help

Thanks a lot..yeah the more I’m reading the more I’m so scared for this..I had almost made my mind for it earlier. I can go to Florida but Paley is super expensive. I can afford it but I’d rather save that money for future and not feel guilty for putting it all into 2-3 inches. Sigh. Dr Franz is of the view that internals are no better than externals as far as long term complications are concerned

Any idea how much they are charging for Precice? I am a petite girl with small bones, what’s the smallest Precice nail? And being 45 kg why can’t Precice be weight bearing for someone like me? I have cats that I need to tc of so I can’t be wheelchair bound
