What could go wrong so badly at a reputable doctor, they dont want to kill you and an official death has bever been reported. Surely if something goes wrong they can somehow find a way around it, no?

Putting aside the risk of thromboembolism and fat embolism which can kill you, and all the risks of the surgery itself that can happen but its frequency is reduced when going to a top doctor? Sure, your bone healing might be slow and you might end up with an exponentially longer recovery time that you considered making you lose your job and going into bankruptcy.

Reputable is not the same that capable. The worst thing that can happen is amputation, death is ridiculous now. Most of the times yes they can find a way, just go to a good doc, we have diaries here, not to hungry moneymakers.

There have been a *number* of patients who have had to get corrective surgery during/after lengthening. Often more than once. All this costs tens of thousands more. Unless you're a multi-millionaire, this can destroy your life financially. This will severely limit your choices in life-- anything from getting a loan, to taking a spur of the moment trip with friends will be compromised. Not to mention the toll on your body from multiple surgeries. And the income you lose during this period.
So you probably won't die but it can still pretty much destroy your life.
There are many anonymous patients (some of them without an account in this forum) who had indeed their lives destroyed by LL. Respect to all those people who lost their time, health, money, and love from their dearest ones after the surgery and its many complications.
Looking at the change of the man's picture in the following site, it seems 5 cm lengthening of tibia is even too much.
Is it because he seems to have lost too much muscle?
anyway looking at this I probably will be happy with 3 cm lengthening of tibia considering too much risks of this surgeries.
However people may think I7m too crazy for doing only 3 cm. But, since I'm an asian my tibia is a little too short aesthetic wise.

That is precisely why. He lost a good amount of muscle and fat, which can make people look sickly. It's not a good look, but alas it's temporary.
It's better to look for patients a year or two after consolidation.

I don't know whether the picture is deceptive or not. But even though he has done 5 cm, his tibia looks so long.

Yep.
And the longer tibias look better to me. He just needs to recover from LL.
I totally agree with you, I had it done when I was only twelve because i was born with a leg longer than the other one and its been hell to me this past 18 years living in pain not being bale to function 100 percent its the worst especially as a female, like wearing heels on a special occasion is a challenge. I wish my dad had never allowed that surgery
