What's the recovery time from surgery date for 2.5 cm femur lengthening, using PRECICE Stryde or whatever's the best method? What about 3 cm, 3.5 cm, and 4 cm? I'm also interested in recovery time for PRECICE 2.2, etc. and whether certain surgeons can reduce recovery time.
The potential downside is regretting not doing more. I don't mind the wasted money.

Why only 4 cm? Do you think it's worth the money and pain? You should go for at leat 6-7 cm.
Normally, the lengthening rate is 1mm/per day. When you want to lengthen 3 cm, it would take 1 month. Then, it takes 4-5 months until complete bone growth.
I have a lot of money to spare, and I want to return to work ASAP. Is the post-lengthening recovery 4 - 5 months regardless of the amount lengthened? I thought 2.5 cm might be 25 days lengthening + 50 days before resuming work, and 8 cm might be 80 days lengthening + 160 days before resuming work. But maybe it's more like this:
2.5 cm is 25 days lengthening + 100 days before resuming work
5 cm is 50 days lengthening + 100 days before resuming work
8 cm is 80 days lengthening + 160 days before resuming work
I care about pain somewhat. Do you think total pain is roughly proportional to recovery time?

I have a lot of patients who only seek 4cm or around that. They are usually quite happy about the result of the effect on their body is minimal.
What do you do for a living?
My best advice: dont be in a timecrunch when lengthening.
2.5cm will take 3 months for full recovery
4cm youll be back fully by 4 months.
8cm may take 7 to 9 months./ 1 year to feel close to 100%
if youre comfortable with the idea. go for it!
physical pain is not proportional to recovery time. Mental anguish is, for most people.
You're confident that STRYDE won't return? https://www.limbplastx.com/precice-stryde-removal expresses optimism for its return, but maybe you have a better picture.
By PRECICE times, are you saying PRECICE 2.2 and STRYDE have similar recovery times?
