I see Mahboubian doing these lengths quadrilateral, bringing a 5'2.5 person to 5'9. From what I see I believe he is a good and safe doctor, although he may be heavy handed in the marketing. However, wouldn't you be in considerable pain after doing 13cm or 15cm? 8 femur + 5 tib (or 7 tib) or would you still be able to run and be flexible? Debiparshad also claims to be able to do 6 inches.
I doubt lengthening 13 cm let alone 15 cm is safe. At that point you are basically doing this trade off: gain 4-5 in but lose athleticism ( can still do minor things like walking - but expect to run like you are in your 50s ), proportion will definitely look weird 4 in+, and augmented short/long term complications ( internals for femur is a must ).
For reference according to Dr. Lee and Dr. Chung ( both with 1000s of cases ) have stated lengthening 6cm results in 80% athleticism and 7cm results in 50% ( this is however for only tibia lengthening ).
There are lot of people on JP Twitter that are doing quads though primarily in Turkey, but they all have realistic trade offs and know they won't be returning to pre-operation athleticism.
this is where my confusion is, 13cm would be 8cm in the femurs and 5 in the tibia. which both are considered safe lengths, the muscles in each section stretch independently, so I would assume combined its a bit more of a athletic loss than just doing one section alone, but Im not sure if doing it would have you running badly (If you took PT serious). nobody really has a straight answer that I can tell. either they say you'll be completely like normal or you'll be debilitated and i'm pretty sure neither are true.
The answer is yes, but with caveats.
if I did it with a USA doctor do you think id be able to be flexible and run after for 13cm? I'd probably only do 8cm in my femurs but i'm like 165cm so being barely 5'8 would be annoying and Idk if id feel completely comfortable at that height, assuming the 8cm didn't present me any issues id probably go for an extra 5cm to be 5'10 which is a slightly above average height if I had the time and money
Doing it with a Western doc doesn't mean you'll suddenly be able to do more lengthening. A lot of it depends on your soft tissues. Also, 5'8 would still be an enormous benefit over 5'5 socially. Since you've never been above that height, how do you know that you won't be happy at 5'8? Take a year to recover after your first lengthening and see how your body responds to it along with how others start treating you compared to before. You may find that a second lengthening is not necessary and now you've saved a lot of time and money.

thats the plan. yeah im aware the doctor doesn't change your physical capabilities, but it seems that they are more aware what each patients limitations are and what to do regarding complications vs people like Betz or budulu (idk how to spell it)
a lot of people on here are 5'8 and get CLL and it seems that 5'8 is still considered short by society so thats why I think I may go for 2 procedures
I did Stryde in femurs. I hit 5'8"...and as cool as it would be to hit 5'10"...there's just no way I'd put myself through all that again. It was rough, even with Stryde. Glad I did it, would I do it again, no way. Do one procedure, see how you feel. A huge percentage of people find neurosis disappears after a singular procedure.
I'm 5'8 and it's terrible. It's not a manly structure.

This is how I'm hoping to feel at 5'5" right now. 5'10" sounds really great, but just getting to 5'8" would be super nice, and having not even gone through the pain/time/energy once, I have a hard time telling myself I'd do tibias after femurs.
