I just had my surgery few days ago after 5 years of preparations
Sex: male
Ethinicity: middleastern
Age: 25-30
Height:171~172.5
Desired height gain:7~8 cm
Reason for surgery: height neurosis
For personal reasons And privacy i will keep any information about my doctor confidential
Method: internal femur using a locally costumized similar to albizzia
I had my surgery using spinal half anesthesia so i was awake all the time i was actually watching my own surgery through the x ray screen, i was absolutely fine untill just the end, suddenly felt really dizzy and couldnt breath and started panicking anf screaming but then the doctor gave me something that made me relaxed and fell asleep untill the end of surgery, i was taken back room my room and put on oxygen, hemoglobin was tested and it was pretty low and so was my blood pressure, still didnt feel any pain due to anethesia, after few hours oxygen was no longer needed, had my breakfast then tested again and everything was normail untill the wounds on my right leg started bleeding alot, i freaked out but my doctor told me it was normal then changed the bandages and cleaned the wounds, later on i was escorted back to my apartment then again wound started bleeding alot and i panicked and started feeling dizzy, i called my doctor then he visited me at my house and comforted me telling me it's absolutely normal i was suffering from anethesia withdrawal effects thats why i panick alot, changed the bandages again and gave me some instructions, then left, i tried to sleep but everytime i panick and wake up feeling like a crackhead, untill one time i threw up then fell asleep immediately waking up absolutely fine, with usual surgery pain after anethesia completely went off, im 1 cm taller now after surgery and expecting to start distraction in few days.

Don't listen to people that are here only to read and probably they'll never do LL or even if they do they won't care to write anything about that.
For me the only pics that matter are some xrays, anything else is for morons.
So feel free to write about your experience and ignore the disrespectful ones.

I guess the doctor didn't want too many people coming to him for cosmetic reasons.

Thats true since he has the cheapest price for internal femurs.

Im around 2 cm now, will have x rays tomorrow to know the exact number, for some reason my stitches took longer to heal but theyre fine now, been spending time playing video games and getting high,pain levels decreased and im minimizing painkillers, im lengthening at around 1.5 mm/day and i hope i can do more so i could achieve my 8cm goal...

How much was it? And how is his history with LL?

For international patients i think its around 15~20k USD you still have to contact him for an accurate price,I did it for alot cheaper since im considered local, he has more history with illizarov than nails but so far hes good considering the good price

Can you explain to us how you click you leg to make it longer?

Lengthening is done by manual pulling and you use a sethoscope to hear the nail clicking

Do you have any pics/ X-rays you could show us?
