Any news on the future of LL?
« on: October 19, 2014, 02:28:30 AM »
so is there any news on the future of LL? stem cells/cheaper costs/new external methods?? I want to do LL in about no more than 2 years do you think anything will change during that time span?

Personally, I doubt it. There may be new facilities for better prices, such as the one Dr. Paley plans to open in Mexico, and LL may be slightly more mainstream and commercialized, but the methods used likely won't change at all.

It would be very nice to see LATP become more prevalent and leave fewer scars though. Stem cell injections to speed up consolidation would also be nice, but these are rather pricey at the moment.

Lengthening and then plating. It allows you to bear weight soon after lengthening and doesn't carry the risk of inducing permanent knee pain that LATN and LON do on the tibiae.there are LATP methods that scar a lot and newer methods that scar very, very little. This is what Disobidient got. I wish it was more widely available though.

I don't know if stem cells will ever be able to un fuse growth plates. 

I think the only thing people could hope for would be if they had artificially constructed genes injected into them that stop the body's natural genes which cause your growth plates to fuse. (this is all theoretical and hypothetical)
