Hello everyone, I am thinking about doing surgery next month,however, I am not sure whether I should choose external tibia or external femur lengthening.
You can see my current body proportion in the link below .My current height is 162,7 cm in the morning and 162 cm in the evening. My wingspan size is 163-164 cm. And I am thinking about 6,5 cm lengthening. I do appreciate your replies

Thanks for your reply) i think this picture is a little bit deceptive. Because of my thin body, my legs look longer in the picture but generally it is not as long as shown in the picture. What about going for external femur? I know it is so painful and uncomfortable . But the doctor that I set up surgery has developed his own external device which is very comfortable and compact like dr Bagorov's frame(even more comfortable than it). So what do u think about external femur?
I will get x-ray before the surgery I would like to do internal femur but I am not financially good enough for internal femur. So there is only one option left for me -- external femur (
But as far as I know, my doctor has developed his own external device which is like dr. Bagorov's frame. It doesn't have back side and looks small that you can wear even broad trousers
Did you have have ballerina syndrome after passing 5 cm lengthening?
Your tibia was really short which was advantage for you. But anyway, I still want to do femur lengthening. Because I can already increase my tibia length when I wear shoe lifts which increases my height by 5,5 cm and even after the surgery I will probably wear 3 cm again
Indeed, I have done stretching exercises for a long time. And I have made my back muscles stronger. Now it has been one month that I don't do stretching exercises. Even my morning height was 163 cm while doing stretching. Even though my morning height decreased slightly, my evening height is still the same(162cm)
I think it depends on elasticity of muscles. Consultant of my doctor said if you choose tibia lengthening, before the surgery try to do lots of stretching exersises
