[Metaphyglv]

So, i'm 5'2, at 24 years old, super short, and this has become unbearable
I somewhat convinced my parents to pay for this surgery because i had no gf since high school and my dad is worried about that.
But i don't want anyone to suspect, that's why i want to do it i summer vacations, and here is the matter;
Considering i want to do femurs first and then tibias, a full year appart, so two summers doing this, its possible to maintain the time between surgery and recovery (until i can walk without crutches on any kind of support) at 4 months each as a top time limit? the numbers i have in my mind are 5cm femurs and 4 cm tibias, and both are planned to be made with an external method, maybe including a titanium plate the doctor recommend to attach in the bone at the time you end lengthening. I could even consider the top lengthening amount at 4.5 and 3.5 cm each if that helps to heal faster, but under that is just a nonsense.
What do you think guys?

Why are you doing external femurs if your dad who is paying for your surgery is rich?
Going to be hard to disguise a nearly 10cm height gain in mid 20s.
4 months to be walking with no crutches is a very limited timeline especially if you have any complications, you need to add in some extra time in case something goes wrong. Who is your surgeon and what was their opinion?

[Metaphyglv]

My dad has a good amount of capital but he doesn't have much liquidity rn (real state), at least if i want to do it this summer (four months from now here in the southern hemisphere), so externals are the main option at the moment, plus, this doctor from Argentina who is probably going to make the surgery, only does, externals and precise.
He has good reputation, apparently he has done a few interventions with paley and worked in Spain a couple years. I had the opportunity to contact a few of his previous patients of him who did CLL and they have a good rewievs
I'm already using height insoles to look taller, and i can add even more to reach something like 7 cm from the floor and softens the contrast between my actual height to my height after surgery. Months after all the process, when i can already walk normally again i can start to use sport shoes and even confortables insoles again just saying i am using insoles and/or thicker shoes, which explain my taller height.

I'm going to have an x-ray of my legs tomorrow and i'm talking more in detail with my doctor after that

At your height a comservative amount won't make a significant difference.
Either go for about 14cm (8 femurs and 6 on tibias) or at.least 12cm otherwise get a nice car or something like that with all that money.

Also,.external femurs will ruin you. Forget about it.

[Precise2.2]

5'5 is better than 5'2, you'll definitely have a better recovery than most. My only recommendation is go for internal nails vs external.

Why not to do external femurs? i would like to know what do you think
And, external tibias it's fine? i saw its pretty common to do it this way instead of precise

I prefer to stay safe and shorten the post lengthening and consolidation phase. 9 cm its fine to me instead of 12 or so, is not that much of a difference to me

Great, thanks you

External femur has very high chances of infection and complications, also the recovery time is very long.
The nails penetrate through a lot of nerves and muscles so it’s easy to get infection

And what about external in tibias?

[StevenHoang]

And what about external in tibias?

That’s the fastest recovery method right now. I meant Lon tibia(not ilizarov or LATN) The nails go directly through your skin to the bone, so it’s safe, no pain and hard to have infection

The bone won’t feel pain, only the nerves and muscles do

[RandomDude]

The internal nail for LON will need to be inserted through the knee though which can cause permanent knee pain. Fully external (ilizarov) is generally safer.

Permanent knee pain is rare and if your knee pain won’t go away the doctor has 1-time injection medicine to cure this permanently.
Without the internal nail to fixate the lengthened amount and bone shape, the leg is easily got curved, broken, and shorten in height
With pain level, recovery time and general patient experience, Lon is better

4 cm for tibia and 5 cm for femur are safe limits. For me, more is a risk. But I would only use internal Precice 2.2 devices and better Pmax in USA.

I'm going to be honest with you, at your height, you don't need 100% recovery. Every cm counts for you, otherwise, it's going to be a tremendous waste of money. Also, dating prospects won't improve much at 5'8.

5.8 to 5.2, in terms of dating, is like comparing a hobo with a millionaire. But  5.8 is hard to reach when you begin with 5.2.

What you are saying is a fair comparison, but in reality it doesn't matter much. It's like going from invisibly short to short in the dating market. It won't make a noticeable change overall in terms of your attractiveness.

Ofc it is going to make a noticable difference in the dating market. If he has an attractive face he’s going to get a lot more woman compared to an attractively faced 5’2 guy who’s basically invisible to most woman.

Also, the guy is from Argentina, 5’8 is pretty much average there, not short.

If OP is from Argentina then I think he'd be alright. Still, he'd have hardly any chance if he moved to any eurocentric country.

[I want 8,07 cm]

I live in the country with the tallest people in the world: Holland. I'm only 172 cm tall and my sex life is 💩 . I've gone two years without having sex. It's a fking nightmare. That's why I want to lengthen my fking legs to be at least 180 cm. Since I came to this country I feel that it's a very big problem not to live in an ecosystem that suits your physical characteristics. If I were in Spain I would surely have more opportunities. But here I'm really screwed.

[lucindaris]

then go there for vacation to southern europe or asia, people are doing ll for self-confidence not to have solely sx because you can get it with your current height for sure. I am from country that is only 1.5 cm shorter on average but in general people are taller because NL is very multicultural.

Yeah, my choice will be likely to do externals in tibias and precise in femurs.
I hope there is precise max already in the market by the end of the following year

Actually my face is kinda attractive, that's why i had some luck in my teens when i wasn't an outlier in terms of height, even i'm pretty introverted. So, reaching about 5'6, 5'7 using insoles, i think i would be a game changer for me, totally

5.8 is not short, it is shorter than average but still average, at least for.countres where average height is 5.10 which are the most.
Most 5.8 men with good looks don't have much problems in dating while a 5.2 man is invisible even with the best face ever and 10 millions in the bank.
You are totally wromg.

I'm not reaching 5'8 starting at 5'2 but just about 5'6.
The difference comes from being totally invisible to girls to being able to participate in the game in the first place, thats a huge change and what im looking for.


You cannot expect from the people who participates in a forum of guys willing to break their legs to be taller not be totally blackpilled and have their reality somewhat pretty distorted, mainly for those guys just a couple inches under average male height for their place, blaming their shortness in their incapacity to get girls. Most of them just doesn't realize the problem it's obviously in some other place, not them being just a bit under average height.
My case is different ofc, but even at 5'2 i got some luck with girls, but ugly girls tbh.

I had some good success with girls at 5.6 (preLL height), I don't know if I was young or something but definitely I wasn't invisible.
Don't give up, you may have luck after LL because although you will be short, you will be normally short and taller than the majority of girls which is very important.

Thanks dude!! I have plenty of another good attributes, that cheer me up most of the time, and not being freakingly short is the only thing i need to use them.
