Has anyone had this surgery twice?

Edit Post

Hi everyone. I've been reading on and about and I've seen people are discussing increasing both their tibias and femurs. I've seen a guy contemplating 8cms in both. As I'm new to all of this, can someone explain how realistic this is? That would mean an overall increase of 16cms which is crazy and I'd love that. Could that be done in the same surgery? And why are most people doing 7-8cms and not going for the massive double digit increases in cm? Price reasons or? My wild guess is that you can't have both done at the same time.

Question is - is it possible to do 'quadrilateral lenghtening' in one surgery? Or you have to do the tibias now and the femurs in like a year? Also, for DR Paley's popular option 5, I tried finding out more about it but I couldn't. How much does it cost and how does he proceed in order to get you 16cms?

Fair point silverlining. Human greed knows no limits though, if I had 8cms I'd be at 181cm which is about 184cm with shoes which is pretty great. But then you add another 8cms and they notice you everywhere you go. All the girls will give you the looks and men will respect you. One point I don't see people making here about added benefit of height is the respect you get from other males. I've seen it so many times. No one has ever taken me seriously with my 173cms, you gotta watch your mouth or you get threatened with getting your ass kicked. On the other hand, it's quite obvious, if you're tall, people mind what they say to you, especially if you aren't skinny too. You'd notice this a lot more if you lived in a non-western country like I do. Seems the best I can hope for is 8cms though and I'd be more than glad to get that as long as there's no complications but if I had the chance to get 10+ or more... I'd have loved that.
