Information for limb shortening on both leg( After lengthening)

Edit Post

Anyone have some information about limb shortening on legs that has been lengthened?

4 years since removal of the rod on the tibias. The plan is to shorten the tibia and lengthen the femur for a better proportion and physical movement.

No one has pointed it out and it's not very noticeable, only problem is balance and better proportions. Now my tibia is longer as usual 3inches LL'er .
 There's more of a personal thought/feeling of mine to achieve the "perfect" or more "normal" look. Life after my LL journey changed me , I start to look at peoples legs and body proportions more. I'm kind of obsessed with to look "normal". Lengthened my tibias helped me with the negative thought of height, but that's another story.

Hi , MDOW. I have planned to shorten my leg by 1 inch and add 1 inch to the femur , do you have amy links from Dr. Sarin's story ? I would really dig in to the story for more information. I believe in recovery, another LL journey would'nt be a probem for me .

To be honest, I have no idea bout limb shortening.  However, I can imagine it should be a quite hard surgery.  First you need to remove the same length of both tibia and fibula and then another same length from the other leg should be removed.  It is hard for me to imagine that it can be done perfectly.
If I were you, I will simply go for 5-6 cm in femurs to balance the proportion, which should give you a really nice proportion.

Hi there, I have thought about that.  Problem is my legs would look too long compared to my torso. Leg shortening is a thing as I know it's done to people with leg length discrepancy.
