Non-Cosmetic Wrist Lenghtening
« on: May 20, 2020, 07:36:07 AM »
I have a left forearm which is 1.5cm in length shorter than my right forearm. I work out everyday and this has caused me many problems as well as killing some of my confidence, is there anyone out there that can guide me in the right diection to see when, where, and with who I can get this surgery with? I would like a cost aprox. I live in Peru if anyone knows of a proper place to get attended at.
Thanks!

You might want to see and ask a doctor for this one. I've never even herd of a surgery like the one your asking for, let alone come across it while researching LL. Besides, your doctor probably won't lengthen your limbs but rather lengthen your forearm or upper arm instead, as a the wrist is an exceedingly delicate and important area.

Well there are plenty of bone lenghtenings done for non-cosmetic reasons (height) and it is also done to improve hte patient's quality of life. I am sure thereis something that can be done. Is there anyone on the forum that has any information of where I can get attended at in Peru?

I don't think forearm lengthening is possible or was ever done with satisfying results. Upper arm lengthening in contrast is possible and a relatively easy procedure. Consult your general practitioner.

This is one example of it being done for medical purposes and as this case I am sure there ae plenty more.

Ha anyone had any advice when researching to find the right doctor?
