Tiktok | Limb Lengthening Diary Betzbone '24

Edit Post

I am glad it helps you! It took me 136 Days for 9.34cm (not finished yet). Thats Average 0.69mm a day. Currently I am at 0.5mm lengthening a day so if you do the math it would be 60 days left until 12,36cm. I am not sure too if I will do 12cm or not. It depends on the recommendation of dr Becker. If he days it’s Fine I will do the 12cm. I wouldnt say its hard or anything physically like pain or anything. But its been a long time and recovery will take even more time too…

Sounds good so far! Just be sure, if your ratios really allow you to go to 12cm. Don’t go far below of 0,72 t/f ratio, it does not look natural and really long femurs (52cm+) create other problems in the daily life. So rather go for tibia as well to add some more cm if you need them.

Good luck.

Hey how are you doing? Are you now finished with lengthening?

Edit Post

I am doing great! There is no Change so I didnt do an update. Still going strong. I am not finished currently at 9.97cm. My goal is somewhere around 10.8 - 11cm. I just want to reach 168cm and then I will stop lengthening (I started with 157.2cm). I have 5mm difference in my femurs so maybe I will correct that too. I have to talk with the dr about it. Other than that I am really happy with the outcome and also very happy that atleast lengthening will be finished very soon.

Nice thx for the update I am finally planning my surgery also now in February with Dr. Becker haven't confirmed the dates yet but I am pretty sure that I will do it. How have you prepared for the surgery I read that you have to do 6 weeks stretching before? How much did you stretch per day before the surgery?

You are not anymore on TikTok or?

Edit Post

I did not prepare much actually but I was flexible a good amount to begin with. I also tried to Loose some leg muscles so it doesnt cause any pain during lengthening. I didnt even have time to prepare mentally before surgery because I had a lot of things to get done and life was pretty fast at that time. After surgery it slowed down a lot. But thats the way to go. It starts to Speed up again slowly.

I am not that active on tiktok because there isn’t really something to tell about. I think I will be more active again after I finish lengthening and recovery starts.

Nice So you really would recommend Dr. Becker? My decision is also around 80% for him just he hass ess experience like Giotikas for example.....

Did you do ITB Release?

Did you had any fears? I am al little bit scared in regard of embolism

Edit Post

Yes I would recommend him. It is a really Hard process which they are trying their best to get you as good as possible through it. Its Not that I think dr becker knows what he does, but also the team gives you Support on Everything you need or questions you have. Before and during lengthening. I think that’s very important too looking back. There were weird things happening or sometimes you feel things you never felt. And it Motivates you that they can understand and explain why things Are happening and you get reassured that everything is normal, because you are in a Place where probably none of the other people been you have Met through your whole life, atleast thats true for me.

Yes I got itb release.

Yes of course I had my Fears. Doesnt Everyone? It wasnt really specific. It’s just something completely new. I didnt have any surgery before. That was my biggest fear. I think I already Wrote that but surgery as a Patient is Not that Bad. You just sleep. The surgeon does a lot of surgeries. So nothing to Worry about. But the thing is you have to put a lot of Hours into it for months. You will Spend a lot of time stretching per day and you will have your restrictions like walking and so on. Thats the bigger issue here. Its not like a nose Job where you sleep, wake up have some pain and you get results After.
