Hi all! So there is a very good chance I will (thank god) have the financial and time ability to undergo cosmetic LL. I want to lenghten my femurs, of course I know in the end it all comes down to ones body type and specific, but does anyone here knows how safe it is actually to lenghten a little bit over 8 cm with the G-nail say 8.5cm or 9 cm? Starting height of mine is 172-173cm. I am thinking of doing the surgery with Dr. Giotikas in Greece.

Cyborg4Life recently talked about this in one of his live videoes, where he recommended to stay in the safe range between 6-7 cm on the femurs, cuz most people who do more don't fully recover or get's limited Range of motion.




 I'm personally sticking with precice even tho it ain't weightbearing, for these reasons:

1. it's fda approved and used all over the world, which isn't the case for the other nails mentioned.

2. They have the reverse future if a non union should happen (unlikely in the femur, but still).

3. According to dr. G the pain level with doing G-nail /betzbone is about 30% higher than with precice (the surgery is already painful with precice...)

4. Precice is cheaper and according to most surgeons like mahbouhian, Dr lee, etc better...

5. the lengthening mechanism is wireless and magnetic which makes it alot easier with precice than clicking with Gnail /betzbone which can be troublesome according to many diarys on this forum.
