I have skinny legs and planning to hit the gym to gain some muscle. I want to do this surgery two or three years later. Is gaining muscle have any effect on lengthening? Is it better to have skinny leg or muscular leg?

I lost my most of my glute muscles after the surgery so keep working out on those muscles. Most important is your flexibility and do work out on your quads and hamstrings but stay very flexible. I think you should be fine as long as you don't have massive legs and super flexible. I did moderate to light leg workout prior to the surgery and tons of stretching.

I currently have quads of 48 cm and aiming for 54, calves of 38 cm aiming for 43 cm.

Any bodybuilder went through this process in this forum?

Do you have a diary in this forum?? Can you give me the link?

Big leg muscles don't help with LL if you want to do femurs and especially if you want to lengthen a lot (more than 5-6cm).
The more muscles.you have the harder it is to stretch all these tissues while lengthening.

With tibias things are not that bad because calves and soleus is mainly genetically predetermined so even with hard workout your calves won't get much bigger.
So because it is a generally smaller muscle it is not so hard with lengthening.

In a few words, .working out to get big feet muscles won't help with LL especially on femurs.
On tibias it doesn't play that.big role.

What might be the complications if i gain muscles and go for LL.

Pain and poor flexibility.
