I wanted to Know If there is someone that is right on my stage( about to end). Thinking what will be like the removal stage and the post removal. if anyone else has questions on my journey up until now I am up in answering. Thank y all

Aren't the proportions really skewed? I have seen pictures of people who lengthened 7cm+ on their tibias and non looked remotely good. Even a Pilli patient who did 8cm on his tibias

Have you done achilles tendon lengthening surgery?
Because without that 9cm in tibias is more than hard without massive ballerina.

Why did you choose Catagni vs Pili? Can you tell us more about yourself? Where you live and also where you stayed during lengthening.

What were your biggest challenges during the process? Is it what you expected?

proportions are great. i was 171, so now i reached 180 cm without shoes... when the doctor has seen me first he told me it is nicer to have the tibias longer than the femurs, mainly cuz the eye catches that more easiy, they stand out more. i am glad i have done tibias rather than the femur. i mean, then its you as a patient in knowing what to do and on how far u want to push the lenghening. in my personal opinion, this is the type of surgery that is done once and thats all, so i wanted to maximize the outcome, so in a few years i wouldnt regret anything about it.

i did the lenghening of the tendon, and that was about in februry. that was really painful... mainly cuz they insert 2 pins each foot and for about a month circa, you cant really more your feet...but again, when you thinking in doing such surgery you have to know that you have to do the  tendon, also cuz with the tibias lenghening is at a fast rate, mine was 0.075 a day, and the tendon isnt fast enough in stretching, causing massive pain.... i have done crazy hours of exercises... but it wont take you anywhere... in the long term it  has to be done.

So how do you feel your legs (walking, jogging etc) after atl?
Because I've done atl too and it was the most catastrophic decision I've ever done and I've done a corrective-shortening surgery almost 3 months ago to feel my legs normal again.
I am very against atl and I don't know anyone who did it to not regret it after.

So what is your opinion? Do you feel your legs normal now?

Post surgery for the tendon lengthening... Was so painful, hard to explain... But after a week or so I got the hang of it. Started walking right afterwards and also started driving too. I mean  I sort of gained back my freedom because due the lengthening your forced to have literally the feet blocked at 90 degrees. But now I walk, i drive, i am content on how things moving forwards. I just can't wait for the full removal. It's been a crazy ride
