13 or 15cm safe

Quote from: ilovescience on May 25, 2022, 08:28:09 PMDoes your country offer LL now? Or are you planning to fly to a different country for LL?

No one here knows what LL is (fortunately). I've booked with Betz already and I really wanna take my max. For me, it's not only about not being short, I wanna be tall, not normal. Furthermore, in a country like Bulgaria, you need height for another reason too... men here simply won't respect you unless you've got a respectable look. It's not as civilized as the Western countries, you won't be able to say a word against their opinion because you'll instantly be called out, it's like only the strong have a voice of opinion here. That's why I'm asking the more knowledgeable for their opinion on someone at 173cm adding 10cm on their femurs.

Also. I've worn height insoles in the past, 2'' ones. With the shoes added, I was at 180cm but I still didn't feel like a 180cm man, it's like it's a different thing with a guy being a natural 180cm and someone my height with shoes that add 7cm to get to 180cm. I wonder if this will be more normal if I'm at a good height already with longer legs, I really wish I could see myself after +10cms on my femurs wearing my boots that have a fat insole (6cm) and adding another 5cm with the height insoles. Should be at 194cm this way, how I wish I could get a visualisation of this purely for the motivation...

Tall shoes and insoles actually mimic tibial lengthening as your knee ends up highier. By walking at 180cm with tall shoes, you are basicalli looking like you lengthened your tibs by 5cm (if you are 173cm) and wearing normal sneakers that all add 2cm usually. If you dont like the look, it means tibial lengthening is not for you

I wanna do femurs 10cm if I could. I wonder if the circumstances will allow. How do you see a 183cm man wearing 6cm boots with 5cm height insoles inside? How do you compare him to a let's say 192cm man wearing 2cm shoes? How different would I look?

i did 8cm on LFem (precice), last few cm were very tough (sometimes could only manage 0.25 mm per day), I am lengthening RFem now (Precice) am at 6.2 cm and was at 0.75 from 5-6cm and now down to 0.5 mm per day - my leg is so tight, I cant imagine getting to 10 cm tbh (and the last 4cm alone would take me at least 80 days !!).

Why is it getting tougher in the last parts of the game? Could it be because you're in your 50s?

Edit Post

Below 1mm per day it is not the bone but rather soft tissue that limits lengthening, immediately post op your femur resembles a large smooth sausage due to swelling, and your knee flexion is lucky to reach 90 degrees,  you must wait at least 4 days for this swelling to subside before lengthening can begin , the next 2-3 weeks are not to bad (only bone growth rate of 1 mm per day is limiting factor) as the femur muscles/fascia and tendons are not under great tension, but then they become the limiting factor as their elastic limits are reached and you enter the painful tearing/ plastic deformation stage.
I was very flexible (pre CLL  at 49 YO had a -21 cm sit reach test), but yes my age (55 now) definitely makes my muscles/tendons more limiting and tighter than a younger person undergoing LL.

How can I tell if I’d be able to pull the miraculous 10cm? I’m 22, 173cm, unsure on leg measurements and etc?

Be young flexible and have decent proportions

You're 22? Maybe you are still growing. Did you get the bone checked by doctor?
