Definitely looks better than old X-ray
Will you continue lengthening or stop

Now, I'm waiting for my current doc feedback , but definitely I want continue lengthening at least to reach 5 cms, and if possible 6 cms, otherwise 4 cms not really worth it ( even though 4cm is noticeable and good hight improvement) . I will be updating you guys anyway.

If everything checks out, try and push to 6. I’m at 4+ and frankly I don’t see it at all. Nowhere near significant enough for me at all.
Your x rays now are close to normal.
You can continue lengthening but at a slower rate which is even safer for your soft tissues and lengthen at least 6cm imo.
I really can't see why your doctor would stop you now. You don't have a non alignment or something very serious but slow healing which you can overcome with slow lengthening.
Keep strong.

Thank you for supporting
I will take my next X -ray on July 24 ( a whole month after stop lengthening) and I think it will be normal.
my target is to reach 6cm with slower rate and as you said it is even better for my soft tissues.
I will updating you in few days.
It was a good idea taking a break for a while and I hope my doctor will be okay allowing me to continue lengthening.
This kind of Procedure we have to balance between what is idealistic and realistic in terms of time, How much we could length and complications.
Today X-ray after one month of stopping lengthening

According to my x-ray, My current doctor told me that the bone healing is much better now, but still, we can't lengthening an extra 0.1 because the bone healing is less than expected and we can redo it after the bone fully healed ( rebreak bone again ).
A Korean doctor I contacted via email last week told me that I should satisfy with the current height and work hard rehabilitation ( without mentions to reason why? is it due to bone healing or something else?
Another doctor I contacted one and half a month ago told me "Yes, the newly formed bone is not good on the right side but not bad for the left side but there is malalignment for the left which should not be increased more than this if you lengthen more".
So, I do not know why all doctor agrees that I should stop lengthening? Is it due to slow bone healing or do they worry about developing malalignment in the left leg in case of more lengthening?
Personally, even with 4.2 cms, at-least , it helps me to cure height neurosis , and even though everything went right, I did not want to lengthen more than the safest limit of 6 cm in femur . Therefore, Now to length more I have to wait till the bone fully healed and rebreak bone and do they remain 1.8 cm which is not worth it, also 4.2 not really worth it in term of hight 
( yes worth it in terms of to curing height neurosis 
.
For those who are still looking for selecting LL, doctors put in your mind two things
1) Lengthening less than 5 cm in tibias, or 6 cm in the femur does NOT guarantee free complications, look at my case, I did not even reach the 5 cm femur.
2) doing internal nails ( precise nail or even stryde ) is does not mean that you are out of complications.
One more thing, I was thinking complications might occur to someone else, but not for me , ask yourself: whats make your leg different
Finally, I'm not regretting doing LL itself, but I should only do it Only with the top notch LL doctors NOT orthotics, wait more safe more money but if you do it do it rights

Fully healing and rebreaking is not a sensible option as you should wait months (maybe even a year) and then do another major surgery rebreaking the bone etc and all these for less than 2cm more.
I don't know why all the doctors insist to stop. Malalignment could be a significant reason but I don't see a so major malalignment to not be able to gain 1,5cm more and reach about 6cm.
Poor bone healing is a thing in one of your legs but still nothing so crucial that can't be fixed with slow lenghtening until you reach 6cm and stop.
That said, I am not a doctor but just a veteran that have seem hundreds of x rays though from fellow LLers and of course some of them had worst bone healing than you and still reached 7-8 cm on femurs. Almost all patients that use albizzia craps have worse healing than you and still manage to reach their lengthening target without many problems most of them.
But as I said I am not a doctor so in that case real doctors is what you should trust but always with a bit of skepticism as some of them want to be 100% on the safe side without caring about what the patient wants, especially in a so big operation like LL where every cm wortg for us a lot.
Anyway dude, its your choice. Think carefully, maybe ask for some doctors opinions more and do the right thing.
I wouldn't re-break it if I were you. It's so much trauma to one area.
If you want to do more LL I suggest switching to tibias and going very slowly.

First of all, I would like to thank you again, this post opens hope for me. Personally, I do not see any problem of continue lengthening. But I think my doctor is young almost 40 or 42, and he did not want to take any risk, so the safe mode is to tell me to stop. Remember, he was telling me NOT to WB thats almost all lengthen period and my weight is 55k , after I read many daiery with LLers who performed internal method with a precice nail , most of them was okay to Wb with waker or crutches
form First week. In my case, I was not allowed , and once I start WB things improved. Now, I wake with crutches, drive a car , go down and upstairs with now problem.
Back to the main issue , the two doctors that I get a free consulting via email both did not see my recent x-rays . However, I just asked them in such a way that Should I stop lengthening according to my current doctor's recommendation, or can I continue lengthening? , also both just varified and follow my doctor's recommendation.
I think they do not want to take responsibility because I'm Not their Patient, so why on earth should they worry about my case and put effort to deal with non their Patient complications? , if my doctor does not deal with it in the first place? why should they deal with it and follow up for free? These kinds of complications need frequent follow up with a doctor.
I think, I should visit or contact respectable LL doctor ( paid consulting ) and just tell them Her is my x-ray and I want to follow up with you to deal with this issue.
I will be updating
