Only want to add 1 inch or around 3 cm (noob here)

Edit Post

What would be the least invasive way of doing this? Or does it not matter how much you wanna add, as it will be equally invasive?

Edit Post

And are there any reputable surgeon in either Germany or Turkey? As I understand it, this is sort of a new procedure, and probably the most difficult cosmetic surgery there is.

It kinda seems good that its easier the less heigh you add? If 3cm is easier than say 6-7cm shouldnt I play it safe and aim for this instead? Especially if 3cm will make me happy.

Edit Post

Are you saying you did three seperate surgeries for 3cm, 5cm and 6cm?

Edit Post

So the consensus here seems to be that 3cm is not worth it. What would you guys say is the difference between doing 3cm vs 6-7cm? In terms of risk, price, recovery etc

Edit Post

so the difference in terms of recovery and all that is most likely not that big when looking at 3cm vs 5-6cm?

TheDream could you please explain a bit more, or if you have any links or similar about how Limb Lengthening techniques are medically designed to give an increase of about 2-3 cm. This is what I was hoping for, but I know this type of surgery is no joke, so I was hoping to have it done as less invasive as possible

Thank you for the advice guys, I guess I should probably spend more time thinking about this.

What would you guys say is the minimum height one should add if doing this?

Edit Post

Ive read several places that up to 5cm is safe, but then other sources say "nope, traumatic either way". Is there any proven reliable source of information? Also whats the difference between doing it via the femurs vs tibias?

RealLostSoul, you seem to be very wary of this surgery (for obvious reasons). Are there patients who dont experience complications from this type of surgery; by that I mean who have surgery, recover and then just live their life as if they never had surgery but were just born that way. Or can most patients expect complications in some form or another down the line?
