Quadrilateral Lengthening with Dr. Paley

Edit Post

Damn you look actually pretty nice for almost 12cm of lenghtening

Btw what was your starting height exactly in CM?

amazing. Nothing more to add

Meh, just looks like you skipped leg day is all. 

I just noticed that in most your pics you are favoring the right leg by putting weight on the left instead? Part of recovering I'm sure, just observing is all.

Edit:

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think you actually said what the total lengthening on femurs was.

Tibias was 5.6cm, with a total of 11cm done. So you did 5.4cm on the femurs?

Well right now since my muscles are so tight, my left leg is sucked up in my hip more than the right so it's difficult to get them even. I'm told when I'm fully weight bearing and walking it will sort itself out.

My original height at the time of my consultation was measured at 164cm. It was shocking because I always thought I was a touch under 5 foot 6. Anyway, I was measured again at right before my lengthening at 165 cm. after the Tibias were finished they measured me at 171cm and after my femurs I wasn't measured because I had trouble getting my heels down. My dad measured me at 177 cm recently and I guess that additional height is from all the months of me not putting stress on my back and joints.  I don't really trust the paley institute's measurements to be exact because their numbers would change depending on which doctor read my x-Rays but according to them I got a little over than 5.6 in Tibias and 5.7 in femur.

Just wanted to keep you guys updated. Just a month after my last lenghtening my bones have healed and I'm ready for full weight bearing.

you freak! ready for full weight bearing 1 month after last lengthening!!
that is great news!!
look out world~~

Hmm mind if we see your X-Rays? To see how it looks and what not?

Also unaided, how's your gait? I bet it's definitively not normal but it'd be interesting to see how it's at.

I dont know if this was already said by you, but what is your inseem now?

How did you afford quadrilateral lengthening?.

Isnt that like double the money over 1 million money?.

If that isnt the case i want it done like that. Because im doing femurs with Guichet this year. And i would like 5.5 cm in tibia and femurs. instead of 8 cm in femurs all in once. since i think that wont really look good.

I asked the Paley's institute, they said that for quadliteral would be between 200-300k dollars (All included and more towards the 300k figure)
