Okay thank you! It makes sense. I was thinking of going to Paley and getting option 3 (5cm tibia and 8cm femur, 3 weeks apart) He seems to be praised here so I was wondering if that was safe? It’s basically 5 inches and I’m fine with that

I've never had an operation in my life and I'm very afraid of general anesthesia, although it's better to go asleep during the surgery rather than being awake and aware of how surgeons are operating on your legs. I'm afraid that when I get knocked down, I will never wake up again, i.e. die in deep sleep.

I have went through general anesthesia once. It's really nothing.
After being injected with a shot while lying down on a stretcher bed, medical employee told me to close my eyes and count from 1 to 10.
After counting up to 3, I passed out. I gained consciousness few minutes after surgery has finished
and was carried to the hospital bed with a wheelchair.

6 inches is too much at your starting height. Nobody should lengthen 6 inches IMO. Now, you can do external tibia without nails up to 6 cm safely. Your short tibia might not accommodate internal nails and external only might be your only solution. With femurs though, only internal nails are recommended and since femur is a long bone, I think the smallest PRECICE nail should fit in your femur.

If you're going to lengthen both segments, I advice you to do 1.5 inches on tibia and 2 inches on femur and stop at 5'3'5, which is a decent female height and your arms will no longer appear that long with +2.5 inch wingspan.

Forget about 6 inches, even 5 inches is pushing it for your starting height. Aim for 3.5 inches to be extra safe. Do fully external tibia for 1.5 inches and then femur for 2 inches or vice versa.

Hi everyone. I’m a (born) female and identify as a girl, and my wingspan is 6 inches taller than my actual height. Everyone also makes comments about how long my arms are, how my hands look like they belong to a tall person and also how my feet are big for my height (size 9). My height is 5”. I’m also the shortest person in my family on both sides which is so weird, I’m not adopted at all.

Anyway, my goal is to be at least 5”5 or 5”6. I know that I’m done growing, don’t want to waste any more time waiting. I’m in the US and doing research on doctors thanks for the website. Do any of you think it’s possible to gain 6” and how long would it take for me to be functional?

Yeah. I am really surprised by the incel/blackpillistic view that if you are unattractive you are a life loser. Life is way much more than how attractive you are. Many people are considering this surgery just for self-satisfication instead of how many heterosexuals they will be able to attract. I am really tired of these incel viewpoints tbh, like if you are under 6ft you are not a man, if you can't mog women into oblivion as a man height-wise you are not a man(ntm this viewpoint is saturated with male chauvinism as well, like a man must be stronger than women or he is not a man), etc....

F*ck off

I'm preparing myself mentally for a 1 year journey of pure external tibia. I know that quality of life will be shiet but I want to distract myself from bad thoughts and kill the time as efficiently as possible.

Given how big and heavy Ilizarov frames are, I have to either sit or lie on my back, there's no other resting positions with those bulky frames as far as I know.

Which gaming setup do you recommend to me:

Gaming laptop
Console
Handheld device like Steam Deck or Lenovo Legion Go

Which will be the most comfortable to use in that situation?

I suggest doing external tibia for 2 inches ASAP at least not to feel shorter than average height women. At 5'5, you can live more or less with decent life providing other things are going well for you. External tibia with a reputable doctor who specializes in deformity corrections is relatively cheap in Russia and at least with Parihar in India (other Indian docs are shady so I don't recommend going to India if not with Parihar). You can always do the femur later if you wish to add another 2 or 3 inches and stand at 5'7-5'8 range, but right now, doing 2 inches in tibia and going to 5'5 should be your main focus.

I, for example, can't imagine living at 5'3 as a grown up male human being anywhere in the world. I'm 5'5 and despite several attempts of accepting my height in the past, now I acknowledge the I can't live with this issue unless I fix it with LL. I want to do double LL but I can't afford internal nails for femurs anytime soon. I'm contemplating on doing LON femurs but my gut tells me not to risk with that crap and just do fully external tibia for 2 or 2.5 inches with a reputable doc who also specializes in deformity corrections. I want to reach strong 5'7 ASAP and fully external tibia is my only realistic and safe option in about 1 year from now.

I know that I won't be fully satisfied with 5'7 but at least I'll get rid lower leg segment and whenever I'll get enough money for proper internal femurs I'll do that, even in my 40s (but hope to do that before 40th birthday). I won't rush in and go all in the moment I get enough money for decent femur surgery. Being broke after femur LL is not my plan (as Body Builder frequently mentions that). First LL is a necessity for my starting height of 5'5 and I can at least become a strong 5'7 guy with tibia surgery. I will invest in other things in my life after that milestone and whenever I get tons of spare money, I will most definetely go with PRECICE MAX and get full 3 inches with it.
