Basically I’m just curious whether doing either arm lengthening or leg lengthening minimises the amount of muscle the lengthened bone can carry example if I lengthen my arm could I grow more muscle or less or even the same amount obviously after it’s fully healed thanks

I'd expect you to be able to put on more muscle, like any other person around that height.

Don't quote me on this but I wouldn't have expected it to work that way.
Limb lengthening stretches the tendons and soft tissue so I would expect it do the same with the muscles, not regrow new muscle cells right?
Would be great to get someone certified to answer this.

in limb lengthening done on animals studies, there is evidence than the new length is compound of new muscle cells and some % of the original tissues been stretched
so the more cm lengthen equals more % of tissues been stretched and remain like that, so more loss of function
PS: but maybe dont remain stretched maybe is a cuestion of time some 5-7 years or so, would be fantastic to have studies on humans on this, guinea pigs voluntaries rise you hand haha just a joking
I can say that my lengthened femurs are much bulkier than my non lengthened calves, so I'd say more muscle is possible post LL, but it takes time and effort

Would you say it takes longer because it’s a longer bone just curious I have naturally muscular legs but I’d be more concerned if I had to do arm lengthening because obviously it’s better to have bigger arms than legs
I've heard taller people have a harder time filling in their frames, so I'd expect it to take about as long as anyone else within that height range. It was pretty easy getting tons of muscle on my legs, it's been harder for me to fill in my arms because they're so long. I'm only 15 inches on a good pump.
the musculature doesnt grow unless its also been cut in a way. the tissue just stretches out so essentially the same muscle mass stretched out on a longer bone with some % loss of functioning.

So realistically it’ll just take longer to build muscle then but you should still be able to.

How is your athleticism opposed to before?
