“Don’t do it!  You will be ok for ten years or so. Then you will experience pain and weakness. You will always have trouble with your legs.
I had leg lengthening to correct a discrepancy from previous surgery. You will have a callus of bone where it regrows. Look into this area of research. You have a chance of amputation from infection or injury. You will also go through excruciating pain to get the length. I cannot imagine a doctor who would do this unless absolutely medically necessary. You won’t always be young.”

How true is this?
