The Transilliac Method
« on: August 21, 2018, 09:19:24 PM »

Does anyone know of a doctor who would perform this procedure? I know it's possible, and has been done in the recent past. All the mockups I've made altering the region have turned out much better, allowing me to lengthen more without looking strange.

Two things I should mention: with the transilliac method, you would be able to lengthen around 3 cms or about 1.2 inches. For a really short guy like me, (I'm 5'5) lengthening the illiac crest made me look a lot less paedomorphic in my mockups.

THis method isn't an option for CLL.

I've contacted one doctor about this a while ago, here was his response:

"Hi,

This article describes a pelvis osteotomy done to correct small discrepancies in length in mostly children. The kids all have pathology which caused a discrepancy.

This is definitely not an option for CLL. Mostly not possible in adults. Can lead to catastrophic bleeding. Also too big an operation to perform bilaterally. Height gain is minimal and risk profile too much."



So all of us have to forget about this thread.
