In the case of Becker they make them for you.  So youll get a mock-up sheet that shows what you look like if you lengthen at different amounts on both femurs and tibias.  They take photos of you when you meet with them.

I hope I saw this earlier, my doctor Assayag didn’t do mock up for me, and never tells me my start ratio is 0.76 which is originally lower than average. When I did 8cm on femurs, he even said it looks phenomenal. Now, I regret it every single day.

Pics?

Also did you not notice you’re legs were getting wonky as you were lengthening? You could have stopped lengthening at any point.

100%.

People talking about doing 3cm are retarded and have no idea what they are talking about. This isn’t some haircut or simple outpatient procedure. It’s a mentally draining and extremely painful process that can take well over a year to fully recover from. 3 cm is absolutely not worth it even if you’re rich.

If someone wants to do 3cm on tibias after having done 6-8 on femurs, that’s one thing. But most people that do this once, definitely don’t want to do it again.

Sorry but didn't you notice your proportions started to look off at some point during lengthening? It's not like you woke up post op with 8cm longer femurs...
Why didn't you stop before reaching 8cms?

Im currently pushing from 3cm to 4cm on tibias. There is virtually no difference between going for 3 cms and 4cms gains for the tibias. It wont change a thing. The operation in its entirety wont be much easier, and the consolidation phase will still take forever. You are looking at 2 weeks more of work on a 7 months interval.
