Im standing 5'5" and bow legged im thinking of having the LL  surgery in the future.

Yes, It can be done. My situation was the same as yours and I got the surgery done (for bow leg correction and leg lengthening) on April 5th this year. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

It can be and you can usually gain extra height for bow leg correction.

Awesome indeed. Does it add some extra cost to the initial surgery ?

Thus, can it be done with standard Ilizarov frames ?
