So I am planning to do my femurs next year to gain 8-10 cms via LON method since Precice seems to have some limitations in terms of height gain and weight-bearing. And taking a considerable long break after removing IM nails, I will do quadrilateral on the healed femur and tibia, that will take my overall height gain to 20cm+. Now that is reasonable for me since my growth plates are closed and I'm just past age 18 as male. Unfortunately, I was an early bloomer male. My height is 5'3'' and I seriously need it sooner rather than later since people seem to avoid me and on top of that, my social anxiety ain't helping me in any way. My parents are willing to bear the cost since my mental health's more important to them, I don't have height neurosis thoguh. Point to add, they were the ones to tell me that I am normal after checking my growth hormones level (it was normal) that I will grow and never considered aromatese inhibitors or such treatment due to having started puberty earlier than most. They do feel regret now. My 5'3'' is indeed too short for a male and I need to get out of home almost daily since I am a student. My sibling and all male cousins are towering over me, even younger ones. I can see managing some good time off from my studies without lagging behind in future.
I give zero importance on my body proportions and will do anything to gain some inches on my legs. Having shorter hands is the least of my concerns since I don't go out too much but when I do, people do not notice my proportions but my height. After all, everyone's different due to genetics and having a bad proportion is nothing compared to an adult male having baby height. I would not give it a thought if I had bad proportions due to genetics and still ended up being decent male height, but being called shorty really changes the scenario. I have never seen triple LL being done, why though? Do people get tired after doing two segments on femur+tibia or are there any limitations in our body that prevent us to do a second surgery on healed femur/tibia?
