Tibike, I read in another thread you were waiting to do a consultation with him later this month. You decided to go with him even before consultation?

People wear corrective insoles to combat flatfoot, not lifts. We wear lifts.. cuz we're short?
I meant corrective insole... It is adding me between 1-2cm. I bought it from an orthopedic shop...

Yep. He is the real deal

What made you book the surgery date so hastily instead of just waiting to see him on the 29th? Seems rushed

I didnt book a date. I just know that I will do it with him based on the fact that he is known as the top doctor with the ilizarov technique.
I plan to do it in the summer (august-october period). Dont know when yet. And dont want to waste more time. I am 25 years old.
Quote from: TIBIKE200 on February 20, 2016, 12:45:51 PMI am asking it because I am going to do a 6cm LL on my tibia this summer with Catagni. It will get me from 171-172 to 177-178 and I just want to know if afterwards my legs will look freakishly long if I will wear lifts (Right now I am wearing them because I have flatfoot)
Right now I'm wearing corrective insole also(flat foot) and it gives me an additional 1cm of height. I feel more confident when I wear them, and allows me to stand longer without causing discomfort to my knees.
Do you know if doing external tibia with correction might help with flat foot? Or are the two completely unrelated

To answer your question, yes, it will look freakishly long. But unless you're wearing shorts, nobody will really notice except if you point it out. People come in all shapes and sizes even before doing LL. In another thread, someone was saying how he was 5'10" with 29" inseam. I had 29" inseam when I was 5'6"! So yea, don't worry about proportions so much, as it doesn't really matter THAT much.

How much is 29 inseam? My torso+head is longer than my legs.. My sitting height is 92cm +/- while my overall height is 170-172

Think of the shortest pants you can get at any retail store. And then subtract an inch...
