In some ways i wish i was american..short guys are able to be successful in america..but canada is a very judgemental place. The wrong look will lead you to a life full of misery.
never be scared of LL, it change my life and I thankful every day that it. More importantly, we have a though process of yin and yang. Meaning something negative has to come from everything positive - like some weird cosmic balance. This is not the case with Leg Lengthening.
Think of it like being overweight, then losing weight. Where is the yin and yang? You will enjoy your life more comfortable and healthy. The same is true with LL, just follow the procedure daily, eat correctly, take your medication as directed and work through it during the lengthening the process. Being short isn't the end of the world and if you can handle that you can handle everything.
No one ever knew how much height effected me, I was happy, had great friends and interesting relationship. I ignored and work thru clothes not fitting correctly because I had kids legs and man size waist. I prefer were shorts because pants always look weird on me and made me feel uncomfortable. I wore lift shoes from time to time so I could be a little taller at bars or meeting new people.
But I made it through, when an opportunity came up and I had the money I completed the surgery in 2009. It was amazing, it truly was a life changing event for me. I was happy to go out drive around, show myself off. I couldn't buy enough clothes because everything looked good. Girls actually, gave me a lot of attention - my strength was gone but in its place was height. I worked out went to physio and regain the ability to walk without showing issues. What a difference it made in my life.
I looked at my Porsche and thought?!?! I am no longer a short person driving an awesome car. Here's the thing, I remember what it was like to be short and when I see short people I don't say anything but I always try to stand a little shorter get a little nicer because I remember being short myself and it suck for me. I am thankful I was able to get taller and that the Lord allowed me to do such an amazing thing.
Please make sure you mind is in right gear before you do it. These chat rooms are full of people that need emotional support not to get taller. Getting taller didn't change me. It allow me to express how I always felt about my self, larger then I was. Hope this helps with idea - going through this procedure is complicated and expensive I used the best doctor in the world. He invented the system, device and technique and it was still challenging. THIS is a hard procedure full of risk and pain. And while you are doing it, it feels like it will hurt forever then one day after 6 months you walk up like nothing happened, no pain, no aching and then you stand up and wow - -you are really tall!!!!

I need some opinions.
I'm in a situation where I NEED LL, my femur to femur is about 6 CM off, my tibia to tibia is about 3 cm off. I have constant knee pain on my right side, lots of cracking if I get down too much.
I can either do it local and it's free, but would only fix the 6 CM and 3 CM.
Or
go elsewhere, do tibia up to 6 cm, and pay, fix my discrepancy at the same time, then come back to my country and do femur local and removed the rod from the tibia.
Don't know which is best, I stand at 172 cm. Also trying to figure how much height gain would I get from option A.

Man there are so few reputable people on here, that sucks.
After going thru the old and new forum. People here STILL talking about going over safe limits. Questions doctors and facts lol. Wtf.
The safe limit is about 5-6cm in Tibias. Period.
There’s a crapload of evidence on this. Not only does your athletic ability retain close to 90% or more. But there’s less soft tissue complications and less complications as a whole.
There have been proven doctors on the forum say this. There’s medical sites that prove this. And yet people. Hype each other up for 7cm or more on each segment. That’s insane.
If it isn’t worth it for 5-6cm then save up and do both segments at 5-6cm.
It’s stupid and Unsafe to do limits they tell you not to cross. Wtf.
I can’t even get a realistic option or experience becuase people are saying they are good.
And then say “except for a weak this or painful that” or “can’t run anymore but who cares becuase I was never into sports” . Who cares if you weren’t lol the point was you can run before and now you can’t.
I wish when people post dumb comments like going over the 15% max recommended by doctors, they put sources instead of just giving false hope that’ll lead to a scholarship at wheelchair university. Smh
We can get this done get taller/longer and minimize risks if we stay within expectations of yourself and a qualified doctor. If majority doctors say 6 is the max. Maybe go right under the max. No one will be 100% but you can get close if you stay within the 10-15% of original limb and don’t go pass 4-6cm per segment. Stay healthy and realistic everyone.
but 7cms arent 7cms..
If a guy with 1,8 lengthen 7cms he wont have much problems as someone with 1,6m who lengthens the same amount
Everyone is individual. There is of course obvious safe limits that no one should pass but everyone will be different, some have reported the need to stop at 5cm but there are those who got to 7cm with decent recovery.
So who qualifies as a good candidate to do 7.5 cm to 8 cm? i always hear 8 cm is the max you should do for internal femurs is that right?
Is it true that the lengthening process works better with a person who already has a large size (180cm+)? This is what I was able to read once while browsing this forum, I ask confirmation.
