I believe I’m the first person to undergo cosmetic forearm lengthening. So far, I’ve achieved 5cm with Dr. Salameh using the small external Salamehfix device. Dr. Salameh designed two special fixators specifically for me, which allow rotation with the forearm. There’s one fixator for each bone in the forearm, and I’ve done bilateral forearm lengthening. I also had humerus lengthening with Dr. Salameh and achieved 6cm. My hand and fingers are completely normal, and I do physiotherapy three times a week to maintain mobility and strength. I haven’t experienced any pain and have been lengthening slowly, about three times a day, to stay on the safe side. The process has gone smoothly, and I can even hide the external fixators with a jacket. Since Dr. Salameh has extensive experience with forearm deformities, I felt confident it wouldn’t be a significant risk—and it’s been a great experience overall.

I did 7cm on tibias and 8cm on femurs, yes I wanted to do limb lengthening for years, I researched alot , I have always had long torso but below average lengthen arms

I did legs in Greece with Athensbjr

Forearm lengthening is absolutely NOT safe and should never be done for cosmetic purposes.

That's what they said about LL 30 years ago, hell they even say this now

There is NO safe way to perform forearm lenghtening for cosmetic reasons, deformities, injures, or medical reasons are the only reason someone should do it. Femurs and tibias are risky too, but there are a lot more going on in your foreamr than on your tibias.

outlandish - are you stating that you have done both parts of leg - and that you increased 15cm?? - and now you are stating that you also lengthened your forearms? - have you posted any evidence of this??
-
Seems to be real. Dr Salameh made a post on his Instagram about it:

But is it cosmetic??
-
I just checked - it is not cosmetic so cannot count in that sense - doctors perform Ilizarov on kids to correct deformities - the search for the first cosmetic arm-lengthener continues!!!

This is absolutely not true. Limb lengthening has been done safely for treating deformities for a very long time. Only the cosmetic application is somewhat recent / novel.

Yes lengthening the forearm with discrepencies is done since decades. it is nothing new.
The Problem is that technological progress does not affect the forarm, becuase you cannot put a internal nail inside the forearm !
If you have discrepencies only externa fixator lenghtening is possible.
