Life always can be worse, but if it could be better for even one time why not?
Job??? I can be hired in another place: girlfriend? You can have another gf: crippled??? It Is not probable If you go to a good doctor.
Quote from: rock112 on October 22, 2016, 01:16:25 AMUh sure, I'm not very close with family and I only have one friend. But also, I highly doubt I'll face serious complications. It comes down to:
- Choose a good doctor (US preferred, Paley)
- Don't exceed 6cm on one segment (maybe 4.5-5 for tibias)
- Follow your lenghtening rate
- Stretch & exercise for a few months before hand for flexibility
- Follow your recovery routines closely (and don't overwork yourself)
With those steps, you can not lose. I think people give LL a bad rep always talking about "complications." This is a fully controlled process. You have a doctor monitoring you at all times. And I've never seen anyone following the above points have any complications.
Usually, when something goes wrong, it's because they cross out one of those guidelines. They get a little too excited and go for 7cm on femur, or they start lengthening too fast to get back to work, or they start doing their own exercises while recovering and overworking their legs.
For OP, do whatever you want. No one can here can change your mind. Everyone has a different struggle. If you were able to get a beautiful girlfriend, good job, and lots of friends with your height neurosis what will being taller offer you?
7 cm on femur is not consider that big or risk, 6-7 consider as a medium risk

If you really want to recover 7 is a pretty big amount to lengthen. A lot of LL'ers have reported regretting going to 7 on femurs and losing flexibility after 5-6cm (specifically DoingItForMe comes to mind). And a lot of Dr's place the "full recovery" limits at 6fem/5tib.
Why take any "medium risk" at all? It's a 1cm difference and these are your legs for life man...

All who done it with Guichet didn't regret, you will lose your flexibility even with 4 cm, you fight a nature to become taller but there are some concequences. Btw even 6 cm consider medium risk, only 5 cm and below is safe
Crappy doctors and unresponsible patients = bad results
Good doctors and responsible patients = better chances but not 100% certainty of good results.
Other situations: crapty doctors and responsible patients or unresponsible patients and good doctors = Great chances of bad results.
This surgery is not a child play.

okay.... so you've just stated the obvious. what's your point dude? Yes, this surgery is tough. Can't afford LL and you're coming on here to have a hissy fit?
Someone who really wants LL will do it eventually.
