Title: What is the max length you can get in one session?
Post by: Greyclouds on November 06, 2021, 08:25:11 PM

I'm 19 and I'm 5,8 1/2 and a weak 5,8 at night, my height has always bothered me since I had a growth spurt at 10-11 I shot up to 5'7 and gained 1.5inches until I stopped growing in Junior year, and I've been thinking about it nonstop ever since especially how much it matters when it comes to dating.

I plan on getting this surgery in 3-4 years if life doesn't get in the way, anyways what's the max length you can get in one session?

I am sleep deprived I apologize for the text seeming off.

1 mm per session is the max you can get on femurs and 0.75mm on tibias .

5'8 is a great height. Especially if its without shoes. Most ppl on this forum wish they were 5'8 or trying to get to 5'8. So i dont think you should ever feel bad being very very close ot average especially since ppl who are 5'8 can pass for being 5'9, but nothing wrong with you wanting to do cll either. To answer your question tho i believe its 8 cm femurs and 5-6 cm tibias is the most which is 5 inches i believe. I could be wrong though so you should do your research from trusted doctors being the source.
