I am glad it helps you! It took me 136 Days for 9.34cm (not finished yet). Thats Average 0.69mm a day. Currently I am at 0.5mm lengthening a day so if you do the math it would be 60 days left until 12,36cm. I am not sure too if I will do 12cm or not. It depends on the recommendation of dr Becker. If he days it’s Fine I will do the 12cm. I wouldnt say its hard or anything physically like pain or anything. But its been a long time and recovery will take even more time too…

Sounds good so far! Just be sure, if your ratios really allow you to go to 12cm. Don’t go far below of 0,72 t/f ratio, it does not look natural and really long femurs (52cm+) create other problems in the daily life. So rather go for tibia as well to add some more cm if you need them.

Good luck.

Hey how are you doing? Are you now finished with lengthening?

[shawtleg]

I am doing great! There is no Change so I didnt do an update. Still going strong. I am not finished currently at 9.97cm. My goal is somewhere around 10.8 - 11cm. I just want to reach 168cm and then I will stop lengthening (I started with 157.2cm). I have 5mm difference in my femurs so maybe I will correct that too. I have to talk with the dr about it. Other than that I am really happy with the outcome and also very happy that atleast lengthening will be finished very soon.

Nice thx for the update I am finally planning my surgery also now in February with Dr. Becker haven't confirmed the dates yet but I am pretty sure that I will do it. How have you prepared for the surgery I read that you have to do 6 weeks stretching before? How much did you stretch per day before the surgery?

You are not anymore on TikTok or?

[shawtleg]

I did not prepare much actually but I was flexible a good amount to begin with. I also tried to Loose some leg muscles so it doesnt cause any pain during lengthening. I didnt even have time to prepare mentally before surgery because I had a lot of things to get done and life was pretty fast at that time. After surgery it slowed down a lot. But thats the way to go. It starts to Speed up again slowly.

I am not that active on tiktok because there isn’t really something to tell about. I think I will be more active again after I finish lengthening and recovery starts.

[Tallerin2025]

Nice So you really would recommend Dr. Becker? My decision is also around 80% for him just he hass ess experience like Giotikas for example.....

Did you do ITB Release?

Did you had any fears? I am al little bit scared in regard of embolism

[shawtleg]

Yes I would recommend him. It is a really Hard process which they are trying their best to get you as good as possible through it. Its Not that I think dr becker knows what he does, but also the team gives you Support on Everything you need or questions you have. Before and during lengthening. I think that’s very important too looking back. There were weird things happening or sometimes you feel things you never felt. And it Motivates you that they can understand and explain why things Are happening and you get reassured that everything is normal, because you are in a Place where probably none of the other people been you have Met through your whole life, atleast thats true for me.

Yes I got itb release.

Yes of course I had my Fears. Doesnt Everyone? It wasnt really specific. It’s just something completely new. I didnt have any surgery before. That was my biggest fear. I think I already Wrote that but surgery as a Patient is Not that Bad. You just sleep. The surgeon does a lot of surgeries. So nothing to Worry about. But the thing is you have to put a lot of Hours into it for months. You will Spend a lot of time stretching per day and you will have your restrictions like walking and so on. Thats the bigger issue here. Its not like a nose Job where you sleep, wake up have some pain and you get results After.

Thanks for your answer Is it ok if I message you maybe we can have a call also something as I am planning my surgery in February - that would be helpful for me if that is ok for you

[shawtleg]

Sure shoot me a message on tiktok

[Tallerin2025]

Did you maybe change your TikTok Name I can't find you there?

[shawtleg]

I didnt change it. Weird that you can't find it. Here is a link to my latest post.

January first was my last day of clicking. I reached 11cm on my left and 10,5cm on my right leg, because my left femur was shorter to begin with. My walking gets better every day. My personal record right now is 1500 steps without crutches and I am trying now to climb stairs without crutches. It "works" already if there is somewhere to hold on to, but isn't like before. I noticed that the tightness got a lot less in just 2 weeks in my right leg. That makes actually a big impact on quality of life I would say. It's easier to sit on chairs and just feels better. I also reduced the opioids now and don't take any of them now. Just novalgin as pain killer 3 times a day.

Right now I am trying to do some research to push my bone recovery as much as possible so I can back to normal again. I am taking a lots of Vitamin D3 and K2 (around 6800IU a day) and also other minerals. Walking is also important, I am at around 5000 steps daily in average. I would say they were 3 big impacts on well being in my procedure. First was at around 5-6cm where you get used to it. Second was when I got rid of the opioids. I felt a lot better and also I feel like I lost a lot of hair because of that which stopped after I stopped with the opioids.

I also tried some new things that I didnt before. That is to drive a manual car in the city which worked a lot better than I thought. During most of the lengthening I drove an automatic car because it needs a lot less power. I also tried to go swimming, which didnt work as planned. In the water I can walk like normal without any swing. But if I try to swim like a frog with my legs it just doesn't work. There is resistance and also hurts to do that motion. But swimming like where you put your feet up and down works a lot better but I can't swim too much like that.

Wow your walk is incredibly good after 2 days clicking and 11 cm - congratulations. I never would thought look that good after 2 days and 11cm! I also going for surgery in February with Becker now!

[Tallerin2025]

Also Proportions is looking really good even with 11cm how do you feel with your new height?

[GrowGrow123]

Agree with the other posters. Your overall proportions look pretty good for 11cm of lengthening.

[shawtleg]

Thank you guys! Now looking back I feel like my proportions pre surgery look off and now they are normal.

The height difference for me is now life changing. I am really happy that I have done this - no regrets. Sometimes if I look into the mirror it feels weird. Not my proportions but that the man in the mirror is me now. Just have to get used to it.

I can believe that so nice to hear! Have you already go a lot into public. What do other people say to you? I mean 11cm is like a big big difference or pople are noticing it? Are they thinking that you did LL? Or are they justing asking you why you are taller?Are you telling them the truth?

[Tallerin2025]

A other question - you walk I looking so smooth are you walking directly after the lengthening process without crutches or are you still using them right now?

[Will955]

You look incredible, mate. Like me you seemed to have a rather stocky build before?

I think people like us have an advantage with femur lengthening because it changes our proportions from stocky/boxy to slender/model-like. So congrats on your success

Much respect

[shawtleg]

Most people know that I went through this surgery. News like these spread like fire. So I don't really have met many people that didn't know about my surgery and commented on height. People that know about it are positive about the outcome.

Right now I walk mostly without crutches. Sometimes I still use them, if I know I have to climb a lot of stairs or walk a lot. But I try to get rid of them as much and as soon as possible.

[shawtleg]

Hey guys. A little update on my journey...

I start to get back to my normal life again. It's been over 8 months now and it's been a few weeks I needed to use my crutches. My bone healing looks good, you can see it on tiktok. In a few months it should be fully consolidated.

i noticed that if I stand to much on my legs I get bad pain on my thighs that I can't really step on my leg. This mostly happens if I stand for multiple hours or lift heavy things. It takes most of the time 1 and in worst cases 2 days until the pain goes away. It's not that bad that I have to take pain killers, but my walk starts to look funny. I think it's related to my muscles and their weakness after all this. But I don't have that issue if I walk. Just when standing a lot. I had days with over 10k steps without crutches and without pain just tiredness.

 But that will probably resolve after a few months and when my body gets used to it. Talking about getting used to. Swimming feels better now but still weird. I feel like, I can feel the nail in my leg, it's such a weird feeling when swimming. Also my legs crack when swimming. Like your joints crack on your hand. I also get that feeling sometimes when walking up stairs, after I walked a lot. I also tried to drive a bicycle. That didn't go as planned haha. My longer femur threw me off balance, so I couldn't do it really and didn't try to much. Just waiting for my bone to heal completely so little accidents don't turn into big ones. Actually a few months ago, I slipped with the crutches and feel on the ground outside. It was on asphalt and hurt a bit. After getting an xray it was confirmed nothing inside moved or anything. That was very relieving.

I am glad I did this. Feeling a huge difference in life now even though I am not fully back to normal. It was not the easiest but it's nearly done now. Oh and I don't really do any regular stretches anymore. I just try to sit on my knees every few days I still can't do that. I am still taking my vitamins. Flooding my body with around 6000IU Vitamin D, K2, 1600mg Calcium, and Magnesium. I didn't notice any side effects. I don't know if that big of a doses is even usable in my body, but I feel like it should have it rather than need it lol.
