arm lengthening isn't as popular as leg lengthening.  is the price higher than LL if I want to lengthen 5 cm for each arm?
who already did it and where can I find the surgeon?

[Sean Connery]

One guy did, but he had non-unions and could no longer jerk off. Worst decision of his life.

[DreamKamchatka]

is non-union genetic? 

[OverrideYouGenetics]

Apotheosis/sysop did it, but he removed the post. You can still find it on that encyclopedia side if you search on google for his real name

[microman]

the post is still there on the old forum.

but i question it's legitimacy given that he said he payed £30,000 per arm for it, which doesn't make a lot of sense, he also said it was with dr. betz.

Can anyone link the arm lengthening diary please? I can't find it no mtter how much I look for it.

[KiloKAHN]

There was mixed reaction from members for posting an arm lengthening diary and he removed it himself after he was criticized for doing arm lengthening.

Internal Humerus Lengthening

Thank you I found this post from the user Apotheosis:

I lengthened my left humerus about 3 CM before I had to stop because I got a bone infection. I'm pretty sure that I got the bone infection because I was lazy with my clicking and Dr. Betz had to re-break my arm three times when I kept prematurely consolidating. Entirely my fault. This happened mainly because the humerus lengthening was kind of too easy. I had some new opportunities arise and I ended up being lackadaisical about my clicking. I just wasn't as focused as I should have been. I had some opportunities while I was lengthening, I took a couple of long vacations, and I was having a lot of fun in my love life. Basically, I did everything wrong and ended up with a bone infection. I'm currently lengthening my right humerus and am at almost 4 CM.

Clicking was harder with my left humerus than it has been for my right. It is a little harder than tibia clicking (which was really simple), but still much less difficult than femur clicking was for me with the old Albizzia.

The surgery itself was no more painful than any of my other surgeries. I only stayed in Germany for about three days after each surgery. One of the times I had Dr. Betz re-break my arm from premature consolidation I flew in at 6am, had surgery at noon and flew back out at 7 PM. It was nuts. I had to be somewhere the next morning 3000 miles away. LOL. The bone infection was scary, but any good orthopedist will know how to deal with it.

Doesn't sound too bad. Honestly I was really into the idea of arm lengthening (now I'm not sure it matters that much) and I researched it as well I could. If OP wants my opinion I'd say that it is likely less difficult than lengthening your legs, you should also have an easier time recovering.

the problem is not the pain, whether it is easy, or whether it inhibits normal life in any way,

humerus is the easiest bone to lengthen, it will not even stop you from returning to normal life immediately,

however.........

by the time you get your tibia MARATHON, done, and then by the time you get your femur MARATHON done............. you really can not be fked ever doing it again as your neurosis is gone.

you end up just being happy with your body.

I was always planning for 3 surgeries............ after tibia I was worn out, after femur I will be dead lol, and the idea of humerus is still a possibility but really I sort of don't give a FK about it now lol, but hey I still might end up doing it.

dozer seems to have said a similar story in his diary as of late.

[MRbones]

if you have not done tibia and femur operation, then stop talking and dreaming about humerus, because if your the dreamer type you probably wont ever get it done anyway...


the number of people over the years who get no surgeries ever but always go gungho saying I WILL GET THIS, I WILL GET THAT sadly is nothing more than delusion. everyone always starts off here saying, IM GOING TO DO TIBIA, IM GOING TO DO FEMUR, IM GOING TO DO HUMERUS.

well good luck but I seriously doubt anyone who has not done femur and tibia already.

[Del]

The idea is horrifying.

[DreamKamchatka]

but on doctor in my country latvia said humerus is more difficult to lengthen due to smaller muscle and nerves.

I didn't do any surgery yet. I ask for some necessary information because I don't want to regret by the possible complications

There seem to be mixed opinions on this. Dr Guichet is another CLL surgeon who said humerus lengthening is too dangerous. On the other hand, Dr Paley says it's the easiest segment to lengthen and my own surgeon will do it as well. I think there was a study out there that said humerus is the easiest, too.

If your surgeon is not confident about it though, then don't do it with him.

i can imagine the physio being very easy, and arguably the complication rate being low due to the lengthening amount people would do would be around 3cm giving a wingspan of 6cm.

i would say it would be useful for people very short looking to become aveage, example 5 4 to 5 9, but there winspan is 5 4.

but for people with better starting heights they are just best accepting the most their wingspan allows then to go in height, simply because the hardship of 3x surgeries may become too much to be worth it.

my wingspan is 167, if i did a 2nd LL id do 4.5cm to 173cm nd just acept having short arms.
