Recently I want to lengthen my thighs through external lon femur. I see that most people on the forum are against this method. The main reason may be that the fixation needle will tear and pull the muscles. But I am curious why there are a lot of case videos like afa and livlifetaller, and the lengthening amount is almost 6-10 cm, and the people in the videos look very happy? Assuming that this is a method that is not suitable for long-distance lengthening, if this method is used to lengthen the lon femur, is it safer to only lengthen it by 3-4 cm? Because I want to do a 4 cm lengthening, I checked the information mentioned by Dr. Paley. Usually, thighs below 4 cm can fully recover their preoperative function, so I want to do a 4 cm lengthening. If it is a 4 cm thigh lengthening, is lon femur still a safe method? I want to use this method because this is the only option in my country, and I cannot go abroad for lengthening.
Discussion on the dangerous reasons of lon femur
Those commercials really make it seem simple. Are the complaints about pain from the surgery itself, or the aftereffects that persist two years after recovery? If I only get 4cm, I should be able to recover completely, right? For example, there's a forum post about someone who had their height increased by [Perfect Body]. He seem to have gotten 5cm and felt so successful that they regretted not going for 6cm. So, can we conclude the same thing? As long as lon femurs don't exceed 5cm, they're a viable option. While it's more painful, the recovery is good and there are few aftereffects, just like lon tibia.
Within a safe range, I studied the information on the forum. If the postoperative motor function is close to the original state, the thigh length is 3.5 cm without IT band release, and the calf length is 3.5 cm, reaching 7 cm. This extension seems to be the best plan to preserve the original motor function, and it can recover quickly without sequelae. Most people will start to feel tightness in the calf muscles at 4 cm in the thigh, and they will need to do IT band release. Joint stiffness also starts at about 4 cm, and tightness will begin to appear at 3 cm in calf lengthening. These tightnesses are all challenging tendon tension. Once such a situation occurs, flexibility and strength will begin to be affected. Even if recovery is done later, the function will be reduced compared to before the operation. Therefore, I think people who value limb functionality seem to need to control the extension within the above amount.
