Questions Regarding LON Tibia
« on: August 18, 2020, 08:38:31 AM »

Hi,
Been thinking about doing LON Tibia for a while now, I believe I will do it in Korea next year and I have a couple of questions I hope someone could answer.

1. How are the scars for LON? I heard your skin will tear while you lengthen, I'm talking about where they insert the needle. Please show photos if you could, I believe many are interested in the scars.
2. How do you shower during the two to three months of lengthening? Again I'm talking about LON, do you wipe your self only, put a cover on it?

Thank you

This guy have Horizontal cut in infrapattelar for IM nail insertion in Tibia , Horizontal cut gives more injury and many more complications like tendon weakness devascular necrosis of skin, vertical cut is much better than horizontal cut,

Most of the doctors does vertical plane cut who have good  basic knowledge and orthopaedic skills, but his dr. did Horizontal plane cut , may be his dr. is not that much skilled or have less knowledge?

The skin is cut horizontally, the tendon is cut vertically.  It's not done all in one slice.

Is it really 8 cm? I thought Dr. Lee limited lengthening to 6 cm in the tibias.

Does anyone know how well laser therapy is in removing scars?

He absolutely does not limit to 6cm. 7cm is extremely common. The photo is 8.2cm.

I saw some patients who got LON at dr Lee hospital. They don’t have that much scars. I guess it depends on your skin. But if that the case, camouflage tatoo will help tremendously. And also if your legs are hairy, the scar will be less visible

So the scarring wasn't as bad as the photo in this thread? I've considered conventional tattoos to cover some of them, but I would prefer to find really effective laser therapy.. And my legs aren't very hairy - I'm female.

And Cpl2012 - I just saw your thread regarding your surgery with Lee. Good luck, I hope things are going well!
