Does he use precise and if so how much would that be?

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #4 on:** March 25, 2017, 06:44:56 PM »

He use precise but it is very expensive. 25500 Euro for one Leg.

You shouldn't do 7 cm though, higher chance of complications, long term recovery and stability. 5 cm recommended and shouldn't be exceeded. If you are sure you won't ever be able to go for femur lengthening by doing a second segment surgery then do 6 cm at most and should be the absolute maximum.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #6 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:05:48 PM »

you're right. 5 -6 cm tibia and next Op 6-7 femur .
If everything goes well then next year femur

paco1 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:06:36 PM »

I will recommend not to do more than 6 cm in tibias but in your case you are so short i think is a good idea to try to get as much as you can. BUT better you do 6,5cm.

onemorefoot · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:10:39 PM »

Does he fixate the fibula?

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:15:21 PM »

6 cm I would be very happy

paco1 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:18:26 PM »

7 cm is so much in tibias and after the surgery you can regret because the pain and the tissue are much more rigid than with 6 cm. I think go from 6 to 7 is a big difference in the recovery.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:32:22 PM »

I want a quick recovery because i want next year second Op .
6 cm is ok for me. Tibia should be painful So I practice stretching every day to reduce the pain.
My biggest problem is i just stopped smoking last week 5 weeks before op.I hope this will not be a problem.

paco1 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:36:15 PM »

second surgery?
Then you are going to do femurs too?

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:38:08 PM »

If everything goes well next year

TheLichKing · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:44:31 PM »

If you want fast recovery and will be getting 2nd segment asap, don't exceed 5 cm. Do 6.5 cm on the second one for femurs. You'll end up about 172 cm which is 5'7.5''.

paco1 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:45:39 PM »

pufff
Forget that idea. my surgery in tibias was 2 years ago the first leg and now i'm starting to be better.
You need 2 years at least to do the next surgery.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:50:35 PM »

What method did you do? How many cm did you extend ?
2 years are very long. I have friends who are after 6 cm extension without restrictions.They can even run

paco1 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:05:07 PM »

i did internal tibias 6 cm perhaps a little bit, 6,5. internal tibias with fitbone.
I can run too, but the recovery is now 2 years ago when i feel that it is faster.
You can wait 2 bad years.

paco1 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:08:37 PM »

Two years from the first leg becuase i had my surgery i two stages. The second leg do two years in july.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:12:31 PM »

2 years recovery tibia and 2 years recovery femur = 4 years recovery. Too much long for second surgery.

paco1 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:21:45 PM »

recovery in femurs is faster, but that it is the true.
recovery halfway. I need at least 1 year more to stay good recovery.
in your case with two surgeries you will need calmly 5 years or more.
Perhaps you can do 7 cm in tibias and you forgot the second surgery.
Femurs and tibias isn't a good idea.
I wouldn't do femurs although i would win the lottery.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:28:29 PM »

I will ask my doctor. 4 or 5 years is too long for me

paco1 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:51:22 PM »

When you are shorter you only think in this surgery to be taller and you don't appreciate all things that you can make now, like run normally, jumping, bend down, biking in the mountain. And all this things i want to do again like before the surgery.
you want to be taller and doing again this things, and if you do more that 7cm in tibias and two surgeries like femurs and tibias, perhaps you don't be able to do them, in you life again. Only walk and that is very frustrating like be shorter.
you need to speak with more people whose they made this surgery and don't trust only in your doctor.
I want help people with my experience beacuse i pass a lot of time seing information about this surgery and somepeople help me in that time.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:02:29 PM »

Thats why i said if everything goes well. If i have limitations after first surgery i would never do a second surgery.What I have of it when I am taller but no more athletic ?

notimportant · « **Reply #24 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:11:32 PM »

2 years isn't the standard recovery time but it happens so be careful

Body Builder · « **Reply #25 on:** March 26, 2017, 12:11:16 AM »

Personally, I was relatively good 1 year after frames removal and if I haven't done atl I am sure that I would have been ok at least is 6 months less.
And I did 7.5 cm in tibias.

In internal femurs I think that 1 or 1.5 years max after initial surgery someone will be very good if he lengthens 6-7 cm max and don't have major complications.
In external tibias you'll need about 6 months more for the same amount.

So I think that if someone doesn't exceed 5cm per segment he can do both femurs and tibias and be relatively good in about 2-2.5 years after the first surgery if everything goes well.

CiniCengiz · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2017, 12:35:43 AM »

I will ask the doctor what he thinks of a second op, 5 cm tibia 6-7 cm femur would be perfect for me.I am 1.60 and only 5 cm are too little for me.
