Title: Is 19 too early for limb lengthening ?
Post by: DaQwert on April 27, 2016, 10:31:37 PM

I am 19 years old . I am thinking of doing 5cm in tibia in China . I am currently 5 feet 5 inches. I think if I somehow have this height issue solved , I can move on with my life fast . Is 19 too early for this ?

What prevents you from doing this surgery if you haven't finished your growth?

I'll be doing it when I'm 18. I think that's the minimum age doctors do this at.

I do not know but doctors refuse
and it is better to wait  for a maximum gain with the operation
