Every result that exceeds that length faces complications and has trouble recovering in the long term. This has been common knowledge for almost 2 years now on here but people are still doing it. Just curious why,.
I've seen many diaries of people doing 6-7 cm or even 8cm and everything was good.
so "every results" = bull

Would appreciate a link.
I’m really curious.
Are you counting guys like DIFM?
He’s “satisfied” but had disunion for a long time trouble walking etc...
Ideal is recovery to be able to walk and run again and have healthy full bones.
Quote from: zack420 on February 21, 2018, 09:02:45 PMWell I don't know about other people but I am only 163 cm or 5'4" and I have to lengthen my legs by 12 cm to reach the average that is 175 cm/ 5'9". I plan to do CLL and lengthen equally my femur and tibia by 6cm.
Have you seen how poor proportions look once you pass 3 inches? Especially the shorter the height you start off at.
I wouldn’t suggest going over 3 inches, seriously. Just naturally in real life look at a 5’4 guy and a 5’7 guy and how different their bodies are.
IMO this surgery should be 2 inches recommend 3.5 inches max. Anything beyond that good luck recovering and good luck in old age.

I can't speak to Surgeons elsewhere, but a lot of the western doctors use Precise, and the up-front cost of the procedure, PT, .etc is basically the same no matter how far you go. When you're investing so much in this, it's mentally hard to accept less. I bet if the pricing was different based on the length and reflected the additional cost of recovery for long lengths, people would choose differently.
That said, from my admirably non-scientific review of people's stories, it seems like 6-6.5cm on the femurs seem not to have a problem; those who push closer to 8cm seem to have a lot of problems. (If anyone disagrees with my assessment, I'm curious to hear.). For tibia, you might be right, but I haven't looked at closely.

Because 10cm are not enough for many of us.
I wouldn't do 2 LLs only to hit 1.78 while I reached 1.75+ with 1.
And if I didn't used crap monorails and could walk from the beginning I would't have bf and do atl and all these , I'd have beem finee even with 7.5cm on my tibias.
My proportions look better than before LL and after a second 7cm on my femurs I'd look even better.
5cm are safe(r) but that doesn't mean that with 7cm you'll have permanent problems, especially on femurs.
Yes, the rehabilitation will be longer but nothing more.
And yes, if someone has a good starting height then 5-6 cm in one segment are more than ok but if someone is less than 1.65 then 10cm are nothing special for all the money and the time 2LL need.
Moreover, 1 LL of 5cm is nothing for lets say an 1.60cm man. He becomes from way too short to just very short. Nothing special.
So for all this reasons people do more than 5cm. And it is very normal.

I find that hard to believe. This is what someone who lengthens 3 inches looks like:
And after that point, it only gets worse. Remember for every inch in human height, the head, chest, hands, etc... They all get much bigger in proportion as well.
Idk, maybe I just see this surgery different than 99.9% of the people on here. I'm not trying to be "tall" I know I'll never be tall, my 5'6 head, frame, body, torso length, chest, etc.. They were never ever meant for a tall person. That's fine, I'm alright with being 5'8, 5'9, I know I can look reasonable there. But I definitely won't look reasonable at 5'11, standing next to other guys.
Not to mention the mechanical problems you'll face when you pass say, 8cm total as well. A lot of people on hear don't want to accept it, but it's the reality. Be thankful that you are able to cheat your genetics for any height at all, but you won't be tall and you won't look good tall nor will you function well.
Here's a good example of 5'5 Bruno Mars next to 5'9 Adele at face level.
And remember, females have much smaller heads than men on average. Just look at how ridiculous that looks. His shoulder girdle and body frame is much less wide than hers as well, even when you account for her weight, it's obvious to the eyes.
IMO a big mistake people on here make is taking solo photos of themselves in a distorted mirror or from an angle that makes their torsos look longer so they look better when they make mockups.... You have to think about what you'd look like next to REAL people. What you see alone in the mirror doesn't matter.
