will limb lengthening shorten life? What are your thoughts?
I came across information about Nathan, who underwent limb lengthening and increased his height by a total of 30cm, but tragically passed away at such a young age.

Should every step be followed meticulously during the surgery, all should be well. Conversely, one might feel an increased sense of confidence post LL due to the added height, potentially leading to a longer life… as happiness could increase… contingent on the company one keeps.

Nathan Yoder passed away due to cancer, not as a result of the limb lengthening surgery.

He began his limb lengthening surgery in 1997 and completed it in 2000 or 2001. He died in 2024 at the age of 38 from cancer, which is 2 decades after his LL surgery.
