Hi I don't know if I should get LL yet, it's mostly just fear. I feel as if I have to be mentally prepared if I'm going to go through with this, I have my own job my own place and my own career already. Basically I hear a lot about wingspan here. Do people usually get arm lengthening along with LL? How much is arm lengthening, which doctors preform, and what are the risks factors.

Arm lengthening is basically the same price as leg lengthening at most clinics and it depends on whether you do externals, LON, or internals. Not many people get it for cosmetic lengthening, although we do have a member who is in the process. I asked my surgeon's assistant about it once before and he said there's a risk of temporary paralysis that causes limp wrist, but that it goes away. Arm lengthening is the safest of the limbs if you lengthen the humerus, but it's the most dangerous if you lengthen the forearms and most surgeons will refuse to do it for cosmetic reasons.
