Hi everybody! I'm looking into doing LL in the coming months. I'm thinking of lengthening my tibias by 5-6cm. I'm not sure wether to do internals or externals and can anyone recommend my doctor for such an operation? Look forward to hearing from everybody External or internal tibia lengthening

Hey aspirant185,

Thank you for your well detailed advice! I've always thought tibias would be a better option for proportion wise. I'm 173cm and doing 6cm would make me 179cm which is almost 5'11. I think that's a pretty decent height, I don't expect to be tall but adverage height would great! I thought about doing both segments but I thought it would cost too much and the recovery would be long. Do you think doing 6cm tibias would make me look out of proportion? I agree I think ideally I'd love to have it done in America or western Europe. How much would you expect to pay with this type of procedure? And what's the recovery time?

You've got me thinking now...South Africa or South Korea what would be the better choice? I haven't heard much from either country to make up my conclusion.

That's for internal tibias hey? Exactly man, I think I'd rather do 5cm, with everybody saying it's a much safer option. Yes I agree weighing up the language barrier etc is probably not worth the discount. What are your plan's? I see your already at a decent height so that's definitely a great advantage!

Nice, what type of method will you ve using? That's definitely handy only living that far away. Do you plan on staying in Serbia while you lengthening or will your return home?
