Edit Post

Hi guys,

I have lengthened my tibias in 2014 with Dr. Barinov going from 163.5 cm to 171.5 cm.
This year i want to lengthen my femurs with Dr. Betz.

Actual height: 171.5 cm
Target: 11 cm (182.5 cm)
Age: 32

Consultation date is 19th September 2019. Operation is planned for end of October/beginning of November (not confirmed by Dr. Betz yet).

I will keep you updated guys.

Let's get this done

Another newbie trying to tell the guy who already did LL what he can or can not do.
Do you also have some tips for Dr. Betz how he should do the operation ?

But its possible

Thanks mate for your comment. I understand that it will be difficult and it will take a lot of patience and willpower.

So 8 months for 10 cm. That sounds good to me! Keep up the good work

So Dr. Betz charges 500 € for the consultation. X-Rays that will be done is included. I guess I have to pay directly after the consultation but we will see...

Thanks

Dr. Betz says you can go up to 12 cms with femurs. But i think technically there is even more possible. The limit is your body, your attitude towards proportions, pain and time restrictions.

But it’s hard for me to imagine how a man will look after lengthening his legs by 19 cm. For example, when I lengthen my legs in the photo by 10-11 cm, my torso and arms seem short. Only in clothes it was almost imperceptible.
Are you going to lengthen your arms after that?

Well I do not care much about proportions. But I will check in the mirror with every centimeter gained and can decide to stop anytime. No l will not lengthen arms.
