Sugery date is Feb 2nd with Dr Paley&Robbins
« on: January 14, 2023, 06:43:16 AM »

My current scheduled surgery date is Feb 2nd (a 10K deposit has been paid).
My age is 26, and my current scheduled plan is bilateral femur lengthening and my goal is 6.5cm (my current height is 173cm-174cm).
However, I'm still considering changing to Quadrilateral (4cm tibia + 4cm femur)
My tibia-to-femur ratio is 0.8%, I'm very worried about after 6.5cm lengthening on the femur will make it looks weird.
Any suggestions? (if ignore the price part)
Thanks :-[

Id just do 4 or 5cm.  This stuff is so hard especially mentally.  You probably wont want to do it twice.

The quadrilateral is two surgeries but with 3 weeks apart, the lengthening time will still be about 3 months also.

I wish you the best, hopes you will be fine.
How’s your recovery so far? How’s the pain level?

Im better every day and in good spirits right now.  When you do the surgery you think you made a massive mistake.  Just taking it day by day is the way to go.

I cannot imagine quad on precise though.  That sounds really hard.  Make sure you understand what youre getting into.  Big difference in picturing doing something and actually being stuck there in the experience.

I have already read some diaries from quad patients, seems like this first two weeks for each surgery is very hard and probably need someone stay with you for at least a month.

Good luck with the surgery, do they let you decide if you want to do quad or not after the first surgery? Maybe that could give you a better idea.

Well, I think I cannot make a decision later, because for quad I need to do the tibia first then 3 weeks later do femur. And I will choose femur lengthening if I decide only to do bilateral.
