« on: February 25, 2020, 02:31:54 AM »

Does anyone know much about humerus lengthening? Cost, procedure type...?

I low key want this too! A longer humerus helps to make your arms look skinnier lol. I don’t know much about it but I’ve seen doctors post about it so it can’t be too uncommon. I’ve even heard the humerus called the perfect bone for lengthening?

It's not a game girl, you think you can choose what part you want to customize like an avatar in a game ? Bones lengthening are dangerous

I know that is very retarded and only people with psychological problems do it.

The risks are much bigger than LL. If you have LL complications you will most likely just have some stiff walking. If you have a humerus lengthening complication you could have a hand paralysis and will be disabled for the rest of your life.

It's even more retarded if you consider that there is nothing to gain from it, unlike LL where there is a plethora of studies showing how height gives you benefits.

Actually I want to do it because one of my arm is shorter than the other.

That's a different case than cosmetic humerus lengthening. But still more dangerous and risky than leg discrepancy lengthening.
It seems the surgery by itself is simpler, but the risk is bigger.I'd NEVER do it - and I did 10cm in my femurs.

I looked a video about it from Dr.Robert Rozbruch, you can find it on youtube.
It Doesn't seem more dangerous than leg.

You're not really think this through.
How many things you do in your daily life that depends on the fine coordination of your hands? Almost everything.
How many things you do in your daily life that depends on the fine coordination of your feet? Almost nothing.

As I said, if you have a serious complication with leg lengthening you could be walking stiff for the rest of your life.
But if you have a serious complication with humerus lengthening you will be DISABLED for the rest of your life.

And for no reason at all, as no one in real life gives a damn and/or pays attention to other's people height to armspan ratio.

Try to brush your teeth, play tennis, violin (if you play), tie shoe lace, drink from a very hot cup of coffee by using your less dominant hand more for one day.

Humerus lengthening is possible as I met one at Dr Pili's surgery.
It was not for aesthetic reasons as this young guy had a short arm since he was a boy and was getting the length difference fixed.

No one said it's not possible. We are just saying is retarded, dangerous and with no upside.

There is an upside... i understand it's less but I don't know if you guys are stressing the importance of our arms/hands or providing evidence that it is so much more dangerous... first of all nobody would get more than probably an inch in the arm and also I don't know about paralysis but it seems like a stretch and if you had some stiffness in ur arms ur hands would likely not be affected. If this were to be done it would be to give the appearance of a larger torso . very strong feelings ab this wow

Definitely do humerus lengthening it is not dangerous and no complications just chose good surgeon and if you have insurance it will cover some of the cost ,  of course I recommend Dr Rozbruch if you in NY

if people really care about proportions I don't think they should do humerus lengthening. It will make your forearms look even shorter. and as far as I know no trustworthy doctors will preform forearm lengthening for cosmetic reasons. It just doesn't look right too me

I had asked the question on this forum few months ago, and if I remember a surgeon or someone replied to me. Saying it’s possible to lengthen the Arms but it’s to risky and that it’s more harder to lengthen then the legs and apparently could leave you paralysed so I got abit nervous and its not worth risking... I personally don’t know but someone told me that, do the research
