I'm sorry but that's a weak mindset. There is no point going through life with such impressionable, reactionary mindset. I'm not saying anything against doing LL but it just blows my mind how people can be so in their head about a problem they didn't know existed until they were marketed a "solution".
LL is probably good thing for you, but I just don't understand such weak mindset many people have. Our minds can be trained. And often if we don't do anything about it, it will just be reactionary, weak, compulsive thing that will take control of our lives for ridiculous things, like obsession to gain height when you had no desire before it was marketed to you.

He’s better than Giotikas! Did you have surgery with either of them to be so confident? Because I did. And Giotikas is on the same level as Turkish butchers Consulated with both, I don't think he's any better than Giotikas. I think you'll be fine if you do precise with giotikas or Birkholtz. Less chance of infection and they'll do the usual stuff like fixing the screws to maintain the alignment, giving blood thinners, other standard measures. LON is risky with any surgeon. |

They are getting paid ! Don’t believe it, they all cry 95% of the time from the pain! They only film these patient when they are under a strong pain killer and in their best good days which happen once a month! Trust me I have experience the same where they offered me a big discount and I accepted it and they only want to take videos when I am in a good mood and they ask you to take strong pain killer and they don’t give a F about you they just need more media cover ! I am sick to my stomach from these guys !

Some answers were stupid. I know what you are struggling about. I had the same question before and unfortunately I didn’t get any good respond. So here is my experiences
I did LON tibia and I tell you there is so many level of pain. Surgery pain: surgery pain wasn’t crazy I did other surgeries before that was even more painful so don’t worry about that. Discomfort of the external factor: this feels like if you wear a shoe that 2 or 3 size smaller than your normal size 24/7 for 70-90 days would you be able to handle this type of discomfort? This is how it feels. Type of pain: it’s all depends on you everyone is different but I’ll just share my experiencez After effect surgery pain: your legs will be swollen and this will be painful and your feet will be stiff so this type of pain is not fun. Lengethibg pain: you will feel bone pain, never pain, muscle pain, strings pain every day there is a new type of pain you wil feel. Bare in mind you will need to walk if you do LON so the walk at the begging will be okay but after you reach 4cm or so you will find walking so much difficult because of the muscle and nerve stretching. You won’t sleep during all that period even with strong pain killer you will be having small naps but no sleep. If you want to reduce the pain to 70% I highly recommend you value yourself and do precies everyone who did precies during my lengethibg was living normal life. And was sleeping and doing better mentally and emotionally and way less pain than me and another dude with me we both regret doing LON ! Hope this help. - Mussle pain: you will feel it after |

I have done tibia LON.
I have been doing 1mm every day and even sometime every once in a while like once a week or twice a week I do 1.25. They say it’s dangerous but my doctor approved it. It’s all depends on your mussle and nerve etc. But I will give you a big advice! Don’t do LON please! I regret it, I wish I did precies. I wish I saved a bit of money and was not cheap on myself. Reheating your 90 days I have a feeling you are referring to Turkey. If it’s the case don’t worry you can over stay and you will pay a fine you won’t be banded to come again unless you refused to pay the fine. The fine is not that crazy it’s all depends on how long you stay but I heard from $50 till $250 Wish you the best |

Please don’t do LON tibia, I did it and I regret it (it’s so much pain) that I swear consistency in the whole period of my lengenthing the pain never gone. The external fixator are so much uncomfortable. (Imagine you are wearing a shoe that is 2 sizes small than your normal size) and think about it like this that you are wearing this shoe and cant take it off for 70-90 days (day and night) add to this the pain that you will experience with Pin pain, and then the lengthening pain.
During my lengenthing there were patient who was doing precies Tibia and I was so jealous they were super fine, they are experiencing some lengenthing pain but nothing crazy like me and another dude who we both regret going with LON tibia. Listen I know the price and cost is a big factor but you don’t want to traumatise yourself. So do yourself a favor and try to borrow money or save for another year to do the precies. |

Yeah, the safe goal is 9-11.5 cm total split between the two segments. IMO, 13 cm is pushing it but is achievable if planned properly.
The problem is tibia as it can't be lengthened by more than 5 cm safely and 5 cm is not enough for me. Femurs is easier to get 7-8 cm which is significant amount of height and longer femurs look amazing in every outfit IMO. Basically, unless I lengthen femurs not much will change with just 5 cm tibia, although things will become comparatively easier at 170 cm vs 165 cm now. |

Dude, you say you're 5'8 and that's not short at all. I know that 178 is better but at 173 you are just 4-5 cm shorter than average which means you can blend in with 2-3 cm height fraud easily. Dude I agree with you in terms of your starting height. I've read some other posts of yours and you have a solid plan for yourself. At least it is very much achievable for you! And I'm sure you will be very happy with the results once you get to the 174 range or even above. If you do 5cm or 5,5cm tibias and reach 170 and recover well (as is your plan), then you should be able to get away with lengthening more for your femurs. 177-178cm is very much possible for you (although pretty much maxed out and riding the danger zone imo), and yet I'm sure you would be fully satisfied with less. 174-176 sounds like a perfect goal. |

Hey All,
After the lengenthing is done and the external fixator removal are off. When do you actually remove the inner nail. I know that you only remove it after the bone is healed and come together. But how long normally that takes. And do you recommend going to the same doctor who installed them? Or it can be removed in your town by another doctor? Let me know your thoughts, experience and the cost of the removal. Thanks for your input in advance |

Things get progressively harder below 5'8 mark and at 5'5 it gets ridiculous. Now, if I really wanted to become a bit taller at 173, I would just get 4 cm tibia and be done with this shiet forever. It would take about 6 months with frames so it would be tolerable if I really wanted that 4 cm. But, at 165 cm I can't get away with just 4-5 cm tibia lengthening. I have to lengthen my femurs too in order to become at least 174 which is not detrimental in dating for the majority of women. 9 cm is no joke from my starting height, it's totally different world. I want to get 11.5 cm in total as that's my eye level so increasing my height by that much would feel awesome. IMO, 174-176 range is my realistic destination after double LL unless I go crazy and overlengthen both segments for 14-15 cm total to reach 180 cm. |
