3cm Tibia Recovery Time / Challenges
« on: August 28, 2023, 09:17:03 AM »

Whats everyones opinions on 3cm to maybe 4cm on tibias? The recovery time and challenged associated with it? It sounds like 3cm should be fairly easy to accomplish and recover from.

Could be wise as in you significantly decrease the chances of long term problems. But doing between 3.2-4 cm tibia would be combined with 4-5 cm femur in order to get a noticeable final outcome.

Height Journey has done 3.7 cm tibia after 7 cm femur you might find some insight in his tibia diary:

It's really not worth it for just 3cm, imo.

How tall are you?  If you're near average height 4CM will be noticeable.  If you're 5'3 it wont be.  Regardless idk why you wouldnt do femurs over tibias theres less complications and its a faster recovery.

I'll never understand people wanting anything less than 4cm. Just get lifts?

I get that lengthening goals are subjective but holy sh*t risking getting ballerina foot, drop foot, pulmonary embolism, becoming 100k poorer, and spending 6 months - 1 year in recovery just to be as tall as you are with shoes on?  Now that is pretty stupid

How much did you do on your femurs?  If this is to even out your ratios I think it could be worth it.  And you will definitely feel 3CM.  People get so salty on here when you break reality that their legs look like preying mantis arms but its cope because they can only afford 1 surgery and are desperate to be taller.  If you come out of this looking like a freak proportions will bother you.  Cyborg mentioned in a video of how many people contact him with regrets on their proportions after the honeymoon wears off and theyre getting weird looks from people.  I see comments on here like "just never go to the beach" and "once your clothes are off its happening anyway"  like holy sh!t is this the life you want?

The only proportions that matter generally are tibia/femur.  Legs to overall body height is much harder to mess up.

So if you want to be a bit taller and have better ratios I say go for it.  Really you should have done them near the same time though.  Its going to be a time suck.

Its a bit hard to give advice not knowing how tall you are and how much you did on femurs though.

Proportions are indeed important. Guys here sh!t on you because you break their bubble. I think from watching many videos that most can get with 6cm fems and few with 8. On the tibs the numbers are even lower cause the raised knees are pretty obvious

6cm is golden for nearly anyone.  2 inches is a game changer and you will look normal.  My mockups started looking weird beyond that though personally and I was right at the .80 ratio.  I saw one comment on here "people will only notice when you sit down".  So like whats the plan here....you just dont sit anymore?  lmfao.  Dont go to the beach, dont get undressed, and dont sit down.  Got it.

In the case of Becker they make them for you.  So youll get a mock-up sheet that shows what you look like if you lengthen at different amounts on both femurs and tibias.  They take photos of you when you meet with them.

I hope I saw this earlier, my doctor Assayag didn’t do mock up for me, and never tells me my start ratio is 0.76 which is originally lower than average. When I did 8cm on femurs, he even said it looks phenomenal. Now, I regret it every single day.

Pics?

Also did you not notice you’re legs were getting wonky as you were lengthening? You could have stopped lengthening at any point.

3cm is a total waste of time.

100%.

People talking about doing 3cm are retarded and have no idea what they are talking about. This isn’t some haircut or simple outpatient procedure. It’s a mentally draining and extremely painful process that can take well over a year to fully recover from. 3 cm is absolutely not worth it even if you’re rich.

If someone wants to do 3cm on tibias after having done 6-8 on femurs, that’s one thing. But most people that do this once, definitely don’t want to do it again.

Sorry but didn't you notice your proportions started to look off at some point during lengthening? It's not like you woke up post op with 8cm longer femurs...
Why didn't you stop before reaching 8cms?

Im currently pushing from 3cm to 4cm on tibias. There is virtually no difference between going for 3 cms and 4cms gains for the tibias. It wont change a thing. The operation in its entirety wont be much easier, and the consolidation phase will still take forever. You are looking at 2 weeks more of work on a 7 months interval.
