thats what I was thinking of doing. Furthermore you would also decrease the risk of fat embolism.

I was thinking of spreading the two surgeries by like 3 weeks for internal femur lengthening. Furthermore it will be easy to walk since you can weight bear on one leg

does anybody know if this is possible.

It would be pointless to separate the 2 surgeries by only one week. You will not recover any mobility in such a short period of time in your first leg and it will be in almost the same state as your second.

In 3 weeks for internal femur lengthening with most devices, there is not complete weight bearing, that means that you have to support the nail with your bone formation. With Precise and Fitbone, you have to heal for 2 - 3 months to start using crutches but weight bearing half your weight equally on each leg. So you would end up with one leg which cannot hold your total weight and another the other one which should not weight bear just yet.

Both are the worst ideas ever. Another thing completely is to separate the surgery in 6 months - 1 year like Monegal patients do, that is to some extent a reasonable choice.

you are right.
I am only looking to do 3.5-4 cm. So would separating the surgery by 4 months work?

I don't think it is smart to separate the surgery for a 3.5-4 cm gain. If you do bilateral then you will be done with lengthening in a month and a half and 2 more months and you would probably start walking. I think it is only reasonable to separate the surgery for people who need to work from an office soon after surgery, with a normal-high intended gain, and who have to take care of themselves alone. No one can guarantee that you will heal fast enough to separate it by 4 months but I guess it could be possible. Then again I don't see the point in doing the lengthening for only 3.5 cm.

im 179 cm (180 when I wake up)
so 3.5-4 cm would be huge for me. to reach 183-184 cm would be huge for me

I Know one leg is longer than the other only half centimter
I am thinking of doing the left and then wait for 2 weeks to heal one leg
and after that I do my second surgery with the Right feet
I want to be taller I am not gaining respect from my community because my height
I am not getting good treatment because I am short girl
This surgery will change my life.
if that possible to do one leg and wait till heal and do the other would be perfect andd scary to do two surgery
 Should I do this surgery? I am not fully sure about this.
