Deformity correction/ elective LL

Edit Post

It would be interesting to see how many people are here for elective stature lengthening and how many are here for elective LL surgeries?

All LL surgeries are technically elective. A big leg length discrepancy is not a medical emergency, it just really sucks for the person who has it and may cause problems for some people.

I think most of the people on this forum are cosmetic patients, although some do both in one go. For example, I am in the process of cosmetic tibia lengthening while also correcting a rotational deformity of my shin bones. My doctor seems to do this a lot, since I’ve talked to at least four other people who are doing deformity correction and stature lengthening at the same time.
