Am I delusional with my goals
« on: September 06, 2023, 12:03:36 PM »

My ideal goal is to lengthen my tibias, my femurs, and my humerus and that should cure 95% of my body and height dysphoria. Assuming money is not an issue, I feel like I'm sometimes being delusional with such goal, but in theory it should be achievable. Has anyone ever achieved such goal before? What do u guys think?

That's too much...at most do femur and then humerus.

Do you really wanna go with 3 segments lengthening while young and healthy? So many complications, and do you wanna spend 5 years or so before returning to (not guaranteed) full capabilities?

Once you notice your torso is now short will you also do spine lengthening? Come on...

Some achieved this goal, but they'll never tell you their complications after spending so much money on this.

Humerus is not recommended from what Ive briefly come across.  You can lose motor function in your hands.

According to dr Rozbruch in an interview 80% of his patients get 7-8 cm on their femurs and feels satisfied. So unless your're really short like under 165 cm / 5'5 to begin with, you will most likely feel saitsfied after femur lengthening.

I don’t know the exact stats but I think the vast majority of patients only get one segment done. And the vast majority of patients are satisfied, even if they don’t get the full 8cm on femurs. I’d bet that there’s actually a diminished level of satisfaction for quadrilateral patients after a couple of years when they don’t recover as well as their 8cm femur counterparts even though they got more height.

Start with one segment, see how it goes.  Do femurs, then see if you feel "up to" doing all the rest of that.  That's a whole lotta pain, downtime, and questionable recovery to do everything you mentioned.

I wouldn't really care for humerus, unless of course you have disproportionately short arms relative to your current body. Arm length is often considered of secondary importance in terms of proportionality and general aesthetics.

Philosopher Said it perfectly. People don't notice it, and if someone is an perfectionist to the point that they can't tolerate having a little skewed porpertions, arms etc. They probably shouldn't do LL to begin with.

I will be doing the same most likely. Have already done tibias+femurs, waiting to fully recover before doing humerus. People don't think about the humerus that much before lengthening, but you will notice your arms being disproportionately shorter after lengthening, especially if you do significant quadrilateral lengthening.

dont do it bro
go fo femurs first and then you will be noticng yourself growing taller , at 7 cm mark you'd prabaly say I am done and you'd call it a day , at least this what I did.
noone cares long arms ,short arms believe me this is only in your head.

I mentioned humerus on here before and if I recall correct assayag said it's safer and less painful than legs. I just dont think most choose to do it. its not like your straining your arms when you eat, it'd probably be a lot easier if your using precise nails considering you dont need to weightbear on arms nearly as much as legs. I imagine you could return to normal function much quicker although a return to full strength would probably take considerably longer
