Title: Questions for people that have went through leg lengthening surgery to be taller
Post by: Superlex on February 04, 2024, 06:28:54 AM

How long was the process? Did you get any complications? Do you loose athletic ability? Can you run? Is it better to do it on femur or tibia or both? How do you keep it a secret from friends and family? Because if you’re already done growing wouldnt it be suspicious that you randomly grow 3 inches?

ur a long way from hiding it from family. that was my thought process when i was lengthening. turns out im still in the recovery phase and its been 5 months since my first surgery. i got like 2 more months to walk with a better gait. u can grow 3 inch from femur but tibia its more of task with a good doctor and pt all the way u can potentially do it. growing height is addicting i dont mind ppl thinking somethings wrong with growing. it does cost like 80k per operation in the usa. so yeh. from short to average then to chad. lol
