But for arm lengthening i cant say the same thing.We are in 2016 alredy.CLL is here for like 15-20 years but I didnt even see 1 cosmetic arm lengthening diary yet..Maybe with todays techonology its way too dangerous
People generally couldn't be bothered with arm lengthening. The only people who would desperately need it are those who have done 2 surgeries. After that, who the hell wants to go through a 3rd surgery. You're hard strung to find people who are willing to do 2 of these surgeries let alone 3. Someone with a lot of time, money, dedication and an obsessive concern with their proportions are the only ones. Not many people have all four of these things (no one yet at least). Doctors can lengthen the humerus without any troubles so it's not a technology thing.

There's been a few arm lengthening cases, one guy did external humerus with Paley for a real discrepancy not cosmetic.
Also, old forum admin who infamously did both lower limbs to extreme amounts also did humerus lengthening with Betzbone, heard he got a bone infection.
Like the argument between femur vs tibia, the humerus is safer than the ulna/radius 'cuz its one bone to break and theres more muscle and less tendons to stretch.
Hope you get a good result at the end. Good luck. You are in good hands.
Yeah either way, if I don't reach my goal this time around I'll be back for round two next year. Safety is the key.
I don't know why I forgot to respond to your latest videos but oppss lol.
First off, yes the way you pronounce my name is AH-LU. It's not my real name obviously it's a simplified version of one of my favorite anime characters.
Second, I admire your bravery to be open about LL with others. I have my own fair-share of reason why I won't ever disclose LL to people who aren't my family members, Soul Mate, and my closest of friends. My advice to you, though, is to be absolutely careful with whom you disclose this information too; being proud of it is fine, but being too talkative might hurt you later.
Lastly, so how's everything going for you now? Confident you can reach 5cm?
Hey Iamready 
.
I have been following your diary. I appreciate it.
After gaining 1.6 inches, do you feel toughness or any pain in your achilles tendons and muscles?
New vid. Unfortunately Alu, because of my cast being done improperly or not taken off in time and redone it seems I am stuck at 4.2 cm. It's all good. I don't think I would be satisfied with 5 either so coming back next year may have been the better plan anyway.
LL someday I have no aches or pains whatsoever but I am also not walking or doing anything athletic so I think it's hard to determine at this point. Personally I think at 1.6 inches i'll have a quick and healthy recovery, it's usually the people who max out who have the tightness. Enfkingjoy
In hindsight, I think recovery is more important than an extra inch or few cm. I thought the other patients were screwed over because they stopped at 7 cm instead of 8 cm like I did. But the ones who stopped at 7 cm are having a better recovery than I am, so now I regret pushing myself to the limit.
Well, I really hope and i'm rooting that everything goes great for you. Was there a point where you felt things were getting tough and it might give you trouble in recovery?

Around 5-6 cm, things were getting really tight, and I felt like my legs were not having the same range of motion as it did before. I thought that with stretching, I could get back the range of motion. And for the most part, I did recover a lot of it. But I don't think tendons can be stretched as much as muscles can, and my tendons are holding me back from my previous range of motion. My quality of life has diminished a bit because of it, because things like certain sex positions are now harder for me to do and I can't really play sports competitively anymore because of my diminished stamina and RoM in my legs. When you come back and do femurs, you might want to keep this in mind. I think if I could turn back time, I might have just done 6 cm in my femurs and do around 4-5 cm in the tibias. Or better yet, if I could turn back time, I'd have done this surgery when I was in my teens. But at this age and yours, I don't think it'll be easy to recover from 8 cm in the femurs. The final two cm don't seem as worth it if it means the difference between having normal range of motion and not.
