Will i be able to run like before, swim, compete in mixed martial arts?
I will not do more than 4cm more likely iv go with 2-3cm...
-
i think so.
but i dont know. mail some Docs
-
If you'll probably do 2-3 cm, then not do LL at all.
You'll not lose your time and money and you won't risk complications (because every major surgery has complications) for nothing.
Because 3 cm (a little more than an inch) is almost nothing and it won't make any difference in your appearance.

Well in my minde it will be a different ill be 184-185cm with this cm! im 181/182

abo, if I'm reading your signature correctly, it seems you are already over 180 cm? Yet you wanna break both your legs for 2 cm?
No good Dr would accept you. Focus on improving yourself in other ways.

Yeah im 181,5cm during the day on the morning im sometimes 182 other times 183 dunno why its such a different on the morning?
Why not? there were a guy just as tall as me who did 7cm lenght?
-
guys stop telling other people what to do.
-
He is a 181 cm guy wanting to lengthen for 2 cm... Might as well just buy a inversion table and stretch like crazy everyday. But he should really be seeing a therapist. And crimsontide your right no good doctor would accept him but there is plenty that will.

Yes I will do ll and be your starting height a cm less too... And at the very least I would make sure to get 4 cm nothing less is worth breaking my bones and learning to walk again months of struggling. AND in your case you could just get 2 cm lifts and hide them under a doctor Scholes pad it won't be that noticeable when shoes are taken off.

Dont know why you guys feel so offended just because i want to be 183-185 instead of 181cm...
I was just curious of if i would be able to run like before and swim etc... if no then ill try out your inversion table ;)
-
If you could sacrifice 3 damn minutes to read some topics at this forum you would probably know that doing this surgery for 2-4cm when you are solid 5'11 already is stupid as hell.

Iv been reeding on this forum and no one who has done it more than one guy have been my hight and he did 7cm... and from what iv read moste ppl have go over that "safe"limit of 5cm to gain more hight... thats why i was asking... not because a fking butthurted person like you to com in here and acting all cool...

Because it's not worth it. 181 is objectively not a bad height and LL is far too risky and dangerous for it, even if you only aim for 4 cm, you could be negatively affected for life.

No but forsomone giving an input about how safe/notsafe it is even if you dont go over the 5cm limit
Wow now i start to understand what ppl means when they talking about small dogs and short guys... this forum is a really good exampel of it.
-
You already in tallish zone ,so 3-4 cm isn't worth,being frankly it's ever hilarious,just wasting of time,better try 5 or even 6

From reading the forums I've seen some say they were close to 100% but never fully the same athletically. So to answer your question if you are just gonna live a normal life then you can fully recover but if you want to be competitive in sports excessive then this will end that. But there also the chance you have major complication at 4 cm and need years to recover to a normal life.

And you sound like typical example of tall guy with small johnson that needs to call out the other people so you will feel better.
You get mad about almost every response in this topic and then call other people butthurt.

5 Isnt that the "maximum" i want to be as close to 100% pre ll as i was before thats why i thougt 3-4cm would be good! and if i do that ill be 184-185 wich is taller than being 181.

So with another word! i should just ditch this! i will be able to run 10km in under 1h etc... but if thats not an option after this surgery ill think ill pass! even tho ill be 100% in the other aspect of life!
Thank you

Boho... cry more i'm not mad lol ;D but ill respons in same harsh tone as you guys respond... and its clear as a day that you think this surgery is reserved for ppl under a certain hight...

Okey ,if you wanna be close to 100 % try 5 on tibias or 6 on femurs
-
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure
Whats your problem serriously? you came in to this thread and was snotty from the beginning i dont know why you feel so offended but apparently you do.
-

I think if he wants to do 4 it's better it's still noticeable and since he's not in the short category he doesn't need 5 or 6. I'm still contemplating between 4 or 5.
-
Whats your problem serriously? you came in to this thread and was snotty from the beginning i dont know why you feel so offended but apparently you do.
Why not 4cm? there is no really difference between 4cm or 5cm... and im happy with 4cm why you tell me to go over that?
-

Do you plan to do external? If so then 4 is even better idea because recovery will be slower. If mitkovic internals are good then that probably be the reason I'd go for 5 cm.

I was planing on external yes! but im not so sure anymore! after iv got the inputs from u guys thats acctually were here to answer the questions i had!

ok did you have anything of substance to say? or just being here and cry because somone that is 181cm wanna do the ll.

Why are you talking about something that i never did?

But That's what he does all day, lol. Don't feed internet trolls.
As for your case, 4cm is usually worth it but I wouldn't say that 2cm is worth it. But then again, we all have our own goals and if your goal is tobe 2cms taller, make sure that what your about to give up is worth to get 2cms taller. Imo, I don't think it is.
I, for instance, when reached 4cm was pretty happy with my new height. I also have a friend that was your height that did LL and 5cm were not enough for him. As you can see, it really depends on our goals.
-

Exactecly you naver came up with something with substance only alots of bull that i dont give a fk about so go and destroy some other threads instead.

Aha how much did you recover after your operation? could you still run etc like before? i mean if i still can run 10km i this would be no problem.

I did not want to be on a wheelchair so I opted to do 1 leg at a time. I've operated my 2nd leg 4 days ago. All I can say is that it will take a while before I can get back to running.

Errr, let's just say that he has attempted to commit suicide. So please, don't be too harsh on him and give him some pity.

Its not exactly nice to be saying that about someone in public.

You're right. He was the one who said it in public though.
But after all what he has been saying about Monegal patients, does he deserve me to be nice to him? Not a chance. All he gets is my pity.

This comment was completely unnecessary, regardless of what the other user has said. There's a standard of discussion and respect for other users that should be upheld here and you have completely passed it.
If you become so upset and aggravated to the level that you believe anybody criticizing, mocking or in this case, merely mentioning the doctor who performed your limb lengthening procedure deserves this type of gratuitous and disgusting personal attack instead of addressing their statement or the more appropriate reaction of simply acting like an adult and ignoring them then I believe you ought to contemplate on the manner of which you interact with others.
Good day.

5 Isnt that the "maximum" i want to be as close to 100% pre ll as i was before thats why i thougt 3-4cm would be good! and if i do that ill be 184-185 wich is taller than being 181.
You won't be close to your preLL condition even if you do 2 cm.
And the difference between 3 cm and 5 is minimal so if you don't plan for something that worths (at least 2 inches) don't go for LL.
After all, people over 5.11 have no real reason to do LL.
Also, people at any height have no reason to do LL for 2-3 cm.
So in your case I'm sure that no respectable doctor will do LL to you.
So if you want to risk comolications, injure your body and lose some thousands of dollar to become 1.84 from 1.81 to see NO difference in anything then you are one from the rare cases here (because most people here really have reasons ti want the extra height) that the doctor you need is not a surgeon but a psychologist.
And I'm not telling that to offend you.
-
why are you so sure - you WONT be close to pre LL
i mean this is done many times a month all over the world.
it seems like this forum is only for the few people that had bad outcome. do ANYONE knows the real facts about this ?

Yes, you're right. I should've ignored him as I usually do. What I said was too harsh and cold. If the moderatores decide to ban me I won't blame them.

I totally agree with this one statement, however, this forum has been going in an opposite direction for a while now. Sometimes I wonder why I'm wasting my time trying to share my LL experience here.

Thank you! well i think this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2240087/Impossible-No-But-definitely-bit-stretch-How-5ft-2in-writer-gained-inches-height.html can be something for me instead to try out? but im not sure if this is bull or not.
-
The difference between 3 and 5cm is substantial. At 3 cm you will still have reasonable ankle range of motion when you get to 5 you will have very little.
The people on these boards are not athletes so it's best not to ask their opinions on what their abilities will be like after an operation like this. Folk who are lazy in their recovery and/or who do not know how to train properly will struggle to get back to normal. The individuals who have screwed themselves up athletically are people who have lengthened huge amounts and not used their brains or were lied to by the greedy foreign doctors who are willing to perform this surgery. These people go into denial and say 'oh well there's no difference between 2cms and 7 so il do 7cms' that's complete crap the more you do the more you will lose
-

it seems like this forum is only for the few people that had bad outcome. do ANYONE knows the real facts about this ?
So what?
I've done LL, I am not just reading like this surgery like you or most of the people here.
And no, this forum is for anyone that does, did or think about LL.
Many people here are writing diaries (like I did in anold forum) and anyone can see the complications at the tome they happen.
So you are completely wrong if you think than on these forums are only patients with bad outcomes.
What you see here is, more or less, what could happen in anyone who does LL.
With a good doctor of course chances for a better outcome are far more bit still anything can occur.
And of course you will be good, not perfect like before LL.
So people who want to be 100% compared to their preLL condition, who want to have the perfect proportions or who want to be 1.85 from 1.83 (for instance) should know that LL is not for them.
Nobody can stop them of course but they would be completely disappointed after this surgery, each one for different reasons.
LL is ideal for short or about average people who are willing to sacrifice their perfect proportions and their perfect athletic abilities to gain height. The only deal is to sacrifice the less you can, nothing else.
Any other who considers LL has no real reason for me and I'm sure that even if he does LL his life won't be any better at all.

i agree with this alot
still when i look at youtube people look more or less normal and happy
the ones with good docs and less amount

These people go into denial and say 'oh well there's no difference between 2cms and 7 so il do 7cms' that's complete crap the more you do the more you will lose
And if you don't do LL at all you'll have even greater ROM.
Although in my experience, I had almost normal ROM even when I hit 5cm but lets say you are right.
What is the reason for somenone to do LL for 3cm? What difference that 3cm could make to someone especially if he is already more than 5.11?
So thats the real question for me, not if 3cm are a little better than doing 5cm or a lot better than doing 7cm.
3cm make no real difference so anyone who care so much about athletic abilities have no reason to do LL at all, even more if he wants to risk for nothing. Because 1 inch is nothing compared to how harsh LL is as a surgery.
Anyway, anyone is free to do what he wants with his body.
But I'm really wondering which doctor would take these people as patients. Because I would never trust a doctor who makes a LL to an 1.81cm patients, moreover for only 2-3cm.
People like these for sure don't need this surgery and only a greedy doctor would have taken them as patients.
-
abo, 2-3 cm are not worth for tons of money. 4 cm should be the minimum. At your height 181 cm, it is not very necessary, because you are above average and if you add more you will continue being above average. The real benefit is when you are short or average but being almost 6 ft, it will help but not that much. Good luck.
-
Yes, you're right. I should've ignored him as I usually do. What I said was too harsh and cold. If the moderatores decide to ban me I won't blame them.
You have acknowledged that the comment was out of line so there's no reason to worry about it further. I don't think the moderators should ban you at all, you are a valued contributor and are sharing your valuable limb lengthening experience with this forum for the users benefit. We can all let frustration get the better of us and I have seen much more severe comments in other threads.
I totally agree with this one statement, however, this forum has been going in an opposite direction for a while now. Sometimes I wonder why I'm wasting my time trying to share my LL experience here.
I hope you continue to share your journey with us, I'm sure many people on this forum value your contributions and sharing your experience but believe me, I completely understand how you feel. Discussions are often brought down to the same few topics repeatedly or are dragged into flame wars, certain users start posting abuse or jokes etc. All that it shows is how woefully immature many users are and shouldn't really be considering such a life changing procedure. Just keep calm and don't engage on that level.

There is no such thing as 'perfect proportions'. Proportions normally fall in a set range and even the more extreme ones can often be found naturally (Long/short torso, long/short legs, long/short arms in any combination) as to why people who are exactly the same height can have completely different proportions - there is no steadfast proportional rule for heights.
The 'pre-limb lengthening perfect proportions/golden ratio' argument is mentioned frequently but doesn't hold much weight, one could change these simply by administering growth hormone during puberty or likewise stunt possible growth through many factors possibly resulting in more/less height which would differ from the proportions you currently have - have these people ruined their 'perfect proportions'? Completely disregarding the other aspects - as long as somebody fell between the accepted range of proportions and didn't lengthen excessively, in terms of pure proportionality, they would be as proportional as anybody else.
I do completely agree that many lengthen excessively and sacrifice proportional balance and certainly agree that there is a trade off between athletic ability and lengthening, no matter the amount, although certain circumstances can mean a further reduced athletic ability.

it seems like this forum is only for the few people that had bad outcome. do ANYONE knows the real facts about this ?
The only real fact that holds true across the board, regardless of doctor or method, is that you have had both legs broken and your soft tissues stretched 2-3 inches
-
Will i be able to run like before, swim, compete in mixed martial arts?
I will not do more than 4cm more likely iv go with 2-3cm...
The answer is Nooooooo!!, at least not like before, for swimming yes you can within the first two months if its "Internal", Good luck
-
Functionally speaking, 5cm on one person could be disastrous while on another could be pretty easy. About proportions, usually 2 inches on either segment aren't going to make a noticable change.
-
i swear you guys get pussier and pussier. by 2019 we'll have a mob of you guys claiming "half a cm MAX or else you won't be able to walk correctly".
-
we have no idea if this guy even had ll. The video could be of a guy who had a badly sprained ankle and was testing his leg out to see if he was back to normal
If you think you can lengthen 6 cm, and move like that 8 months after the initial surgery, I guarantee you will be very disappointed
i agree with this alot
still when i look at youtube people look more or less normal and happy
the ones with good docs and less amount

I think 4 cm is a great goal.
-
Tbh, this post is like Megan fox or Angelina Jolie wanting to do plastic surgery or Christina Hendericks wanting to get breast implants lol. (except this surgery is a lot riskier and dangerous)
Dude, you're like 5'11.5, why would you want to go through all that pain, difficulty, time and money consuming procedure? It's not legit in your case. Where do you live?
:-\
-
Dude, you have your reasons for CLL and that's fine. I'm not going to judge you for wanting to be taller at any height. Everyone has their vanity.
However, you will not be 100% athletically after you lengthen. You just won't. The safest lengthening amount to be 100% athletically, physically, whatever, is ZERO MMs. You are breaking two healthy bones and stretching your tissue beyond its natural capabilities, your muscles will atrophy during recovery, and it will be 1.5 - 2 years realistically before you have full range of motion, are fully weight bearing, and have your nails removed.
Common sense and logic dictates you're going to trade off something in terms of physical/athletic ability when this much happens to your body. Drs. here have stated this, so did my family doc, and 2 orthos I consulted. I asked multiple physicians because, even though I knew better, I was hoping for the miracle of full recovery like everyone else here. It's just not possible.
However, life is all about making choices. I have a good starting height also, and I'm doing the surgery. I'm incredibly active in sports, always have been, and I know I'm going to lose a step athletically once I'm done. But I made that choice and made peace with it. Know that that will happen and either choose to do it or don't.
I do agree with the other users here that if you're going to go through with such an invasive elective procedure, I'd go for more than 4 CMs if possible. Pick a reputable Dr. and do the lengthening without a biceps femoris tendon release, and lengthen until your body and Dr. tell you it's time to stop. Do tons of Yoga and Pilates before hand, and go in with plenty of flexibility and in the best shape of your life before the surgery. While I don't believe in Dr. Guichet's nail, I do think his method of physical preparation in terms of muscle mass, flexibility and overall physical conditioning most likely gives someone the best chance to come out of this surgery with the best possible outcome.
Best of luck

LL is a business, most doctors will most likely do it for him not for 2-3 cm though. Paley and rozbruch used to have height requirements and lifted those paley talked about doing it on a 5'11 patient when he talked about height requirement. It's pointless for you to do less than 4 CM I wouldn't suggest anymore though. 1.5 inches is a pretty good difference. I think if you go through it you should do external tibias.
Many people here envy your height, so of course they're going to discourage you. Do not think this is a walk in the park though, the surgery is easy to talk about but not easy to do. 4 cm you will make a good recovery if everything is done correctly, 3 will be even better. I'd say you're looking at a 10-15% loss in athletic ability. Although some have claimed full recoveries after 5 cm.

You may also develop exertional compartment syndrome and be unable to run for more than mere seconds unless you get a fasciotomy, which will be another expense and a minimum 6 week recovery period along with more required physiotherapy.
Another risk is bone pain during cold weather or rain.

LL is a business, most doctors will most likely do it for him not for 2-3 cm though.
Price isn't determined by amount lengthened, therefore a doctor viewing limb lengthening purely as a business venture would have no issue in accepting a patient for 2-3CM of lengthening.
-
I think 4 cm is a great goal.
I completely agree. A noticeable height gain while lengthening under the amount where many complications seem to occur. Those who wish to push to more extreme lengths have no right to criticize somebody wishing to be more conservative.

Hmm iv been reading around internet it says fixin your posture can help you grow a few cm... is that true or? iv had a bad posture my whole life and i was thinking about fixing it since iv get so easy sore in my back because of weak muscles... and im tired to look like quasimodo tbh.

Take glucosamine inversion table and correct posture you should be able to get 1 cm but then your gonna have to keep doing to maintain the lengthenin.

4 is a amazing goal but honestly I wouldn't do it at 177 so imagine at 181

Dude I am 1.80 & 30 years old and I wanna do 4cm too.

If you'll probably do 2-3 cm, then not do LL at all.
You'll not lose your time and money and you won't risk complications (because every major surgery has complications) for nothing.
Because 3 cm (a little more than an inch) is almost nothing and it won't make any difference in your appearance.
3-4 cm makes a huge difference percentile wise and that is what matters.
5'8 is 20th percentile. 5'9 is about 40th percentile.

I could only do 1 inch due to complications, and I can tell you first hand that even this small amount was noticeable to people (mostly girls) who were up to 2 inches shorter then me or up to 3 inches taller than my original height. This makes the save amount of 4cm very noticeable. But LL only makes a difference in ones life if they jump from "too short" to "below average" or from there to average height ect.

Will i be able to run like before, swim, compete in mixed martial arts?
I will not do more than 4cm more likely iv go with 2-3cm...
Unlike most bitter, close-minded shorties here who think it's taboo for a tall guy to get into this surgery, I support you 100%, but I don't support you paying all of this money, spending all of this time, being subjected to so much pain and trauma for the sake of 3 CM. Go for 5 CM. You'll lose more or less the same athletic ability, but you're getting more height.

Are short people bitter? Maybe, but they objectively have all the rights to be. Are they close-minded? Certainly not. They see reality much more clearer, because they are the ones who have to deal with it under the most difficult circumstances every f*cking single day. But what do "shorties" know...
Now short LLers are eve getting ridiculed by taller CLLers, awesome ::)

I wasn't ridiculing short people, neither was I associating bitterness with short people exclusively. I was referring to the guys that get butthurt when a tall or average height guy wants to lengthen. Are they close-minded? Most likely not all, but from what I've seen in this forum, my height dysmorphia wasn't taken seriously at all because apparently average guys never get insecure or want to get taller. I sympathize with anyone who ever underwent any form of prejudice or discrimination based on their height, skin color, weight, and what not. My comment wasn't to ridicule short people, or anyone at all. Sorry if it appeared that way to you.
