Hello folks,
Since there are many people here who can't reach their desired height without passing the limb lengthening maximum "safe" amount (10cms), I think some of you may be interested in this.
I recently found there's a non-surgery procedure that can allow you to grow from 2cm to 5cm by injecting polyacrylamide in the heels. There's another material but it gets slowly absorbed so you have to get those implants again, but polyacrylamide is supposed to be permanent.
All the information I found is written in Spanish so I'll try to explain you what you have to know about it:
- As stated before, polyacrylamide implants are permanent (although removable, of course), unlike the other material that disappears after 12~18 months.
- You can lengthen from 2 to 4~5cm.
- Each injection session costs 1.200€ per foot and can inject up to 2cm, you can do extra sessions every 3~4 weeks. The session duration is 30~60min.
- You have to have your feet badaged for the following week after the procedure. You should also avoid pressure in there and maybe walk on crutches to avoid such pressure.
- You should avoid strong physical activity the following month after the procedure. Also, you should avoid water in there and take quick showers. After that, you're supposed to be fine.
The doctor that performs this kind of procedure is María José Barba, from Spain. I also found another Spanish center that performs it (Clínica Hilton).
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought that those who (for example) want to lengthen up to 13cms but are not willing to assume extra risks may do 5cm femur + 5 tibia (or 6+4, depends on their bodies) + 2+1cm by injections, once their bones are consolidated.
What do you think?
Cheers!
