I broke my femur in an accident
« on: November 28, 2022, 05:41:03 PM »

Should I use this as an excuse to do limb lengthening?

Talk me out of it. Please.

A limb lenghtening is a very very hard imprinting experience of pain, high money-costs, expenditure of time and mental breakdowns. Only if you are hundred percent sure and can‘t think of anything different than your height it should be an option.

Don‘t get me wrong. I normally support people who want to do this. I did the lenghtening myself. But only if you are hundred percent convinced by it yourself and don‘t see another option.
Asking us to talk it you out is a big red flag for me.

You actually broke your leg?

You could use that as a cover I suppose (assuming you only do like 5cm) but the biggest issue for you is going to be timing.  Its probably not going to line up with your actual injury.  It takes months to get the surgery date and arrangements.  If you do say 8CM nobody is going to buy that excuse, you will be very noticeably taller in a way you cant hide.

Yes. I thought about 4cm max. Or would it not even be worth it for such a small amount?

so , you are not talking with any LL doctors at the moment ?

and you are not sure if you should do LL even After you broke your femur and you gonna need 3 months to heal .


I think it is pretty obvious you are not ready for it .

Yeah idk if they will even operate on you with an already broken femur.  They usually make the breaks in very specific spots.

This must be some kind of a joke. You are clearly not ready. LL takes a huge sacrifice on the physical condition for quite a bit of time and brings with it tremendous pain. It's the last resort for tackling your height related issues. If you have to be talked out of it dont do it. It is no cakewalk.
