Is that because doctors use special medicine then lengthen?

[loud]

show evidence of this, I am not aware of it

[dreamingtobetaller]

They can usually go up to 6 inches. Chandler Crews etc are good evidence. One went up 9 inches! I think it might be because their legs are bowed.

[dunghuynh2227]

you can lengthen as much as you want, there no limit, proportion is the key

[dreamingtobetaller]

It seems to be that most places will only say 8cm

[short]

you can lengthen your bone as much as you want, but you cannot lengthen your tendons just stretch them limited.

Because dwarfs have the same soft tissue amount as regular sized people. Their soft tissue (muscle, tendons, nerves, joints etc) is not limited like a regular person of short stature. A male that is 5’5 for example has limited soft tissue and soft tissue cannot be replicated, when you lengthen it stretches but does not grow more. Don’t listen to the idiot that said you can lengthen as much as you want and proportion is key. Going over 5-6cm in tibia usually results in athletic decrease and going beyond 6cm-6.5cm will result in disability, nerve damage, early arthritis and a bunch of other other complications.

Everyone’s body are different but the general rule for 99% of everyone (and stop trying to convince yourself you are that 1% exception because your heads in your ass) is 8cm MAX for femurs (thighbone) and 5-6cm (tibia or lower leg bone)
 These are not like speed limits that you go slightly over. These are the maximums, it is difficult enough to even reach that amount. A lot of people want to mentality quit at or by 7 for femurs and 5 tibia

Thx for your detailed answer.
But my first plan is to go for Paley's and lengthen by 16cm in three surgeries.Is that OK?

If you can afford 300k not including nail removal go for it

If I were you I would just do two separate and aim for for 13-14cm with someone like mahboubian for half that price

Price is the limiting factor for 99% of us.
