Nah. I just don’t agree with your opinion. Because it’s just that; an opinion.
I did over 12cm on femurs. (Ask Me Anything)..

Looks fine to me

Each to his own I guess..
BTW, this guy is going for another 7cms on tibia with LLT I the coming weeks
Congratulations!
Just out of curiosity, how did you mange to achieve such an impressive result (did you already have longer legs/high flexibility or special conditions like achondroplasia, etc.), while others only achieve 8-9 at best? Did you just have more motivation or is there something exceptional with your physiology?
I myself am considering to lenghten 12 cm with the same clinic, but I am worrying about not adhering to the 8-9 cm limit. I don't really understand how that works. From your personal experience do you think that there is no such thing as 'natural static limits', and you just have to work harder every cm you gain more? For example, if one patient went through a lot of pain (you can say, went over his 'natural limit') to achieve the same gain, while the other patient almost had none, do you think the complications for the one who went over his natural limit will still be manageable, but with relatively more work? In simple words, if a patient achieved a certain amount within their limits, does that imply that all patients can achieve it, even if it may not be within their natural limit, but with relatively more manageable difficulties?
Also, well, you can always say everyone has different limits, but I don't believe there is a fundamental/major differences in bone/tissue parameters within a similar age group of people of certain height (if you accept that you didn't have any special physiological conditions like increased bone density, unusual muscle flexibility, etc. that could have made your achievement easier), unless I am missing something, so please correct me here if I am wrong.

Anyone can lengthen that much. What matters is how functional you'll be after that and this fellow ller haven't even finished primary rehabilitation to see his results.
Almost noone can achieve that lengthenings without major problems afterwards. Even people with much taller initial height. And it is a truly a bad idea to exceed 8cm on femurs or 9 if you are too flexible to begin with. And of course with a fully itb release something that Becken doesn't even do, although he lets craxy amounts of lengthening.

Anyone who thinks being 5’ 3” with “normal” proportions is better than being 5’ 8” with worse proportions is an idiot.
OP has a long road to recovery ahead of him, but his life is definitely going to be better for it.
The problem is this dude is 5’8” now with the tibias of a dude who’s 5’3” and it just looks pretty jarring. To make matters worse, he looks like he had short tibias to begin with, so now they look really out of place. I know being taller is nice, but his legs look deformed from what he’s done. He’d probably benefit from lengthening his tibias, but then his torso and arms will be too short for his new frame.
He mentioned that he would probably have a second surgery of tibia after he had recovered mentally and physically from the first surgery.

Who are you talking about? A few days ago OP was asked about Tibia LL and OP said not planning or considering it.

Here’s another dude that did 11.5cm. His life has been majorly improved. Almost no one in the outside world is going to notice proportions:

StandTaller started with femurs that were literally shorter than his tibias fyi. So him doing 11cm is like a normal person doing 7 or 8.
