Why would you do that? 5'10 is really pretty good height already. At worst at tall places u will be slightly shorter but still, u will be way taller than girls and still be regarded as a man.

I was 2" below the American average when I did my first LL. Moving somewhere where 6' is the average puts me right back there.

Mahboubian is close to me so there's no contest.
"What are the pros and cons of leaving in internal nails for years? I get scared when I read diaries of people who had bad complications after a nail removal surgery "
I put that comment here but it might be better in a separate thread in case people who did internals want to chime in. I don't want to make a thread if you feel it would be redundant though
In your opinion do you approve 6 cm lengthning or you limit it to 5 what about 5.5 no one can tell what is safe other than some one who did it
I don't like arbitrary raw number limits. Starting bone length, flexibility, body type, and other genetic differences will determine your limit. Some people should not even do 5, some can handle more than 6.
MDOW, what are your thoughts on Gastrocnemius recession? Did you get any type of release when you lengthened tibias?
I don't know anything about it specifically, but in general if you need to get cut, I think you're probably overdoing it. I didn't have any releases done. Just a fasciotomy on the tibialis anterior muscles about a year after my internal nail removal (which was about 13 months after frame removal) to treat exertional compartment syndrome.
How long did you have pain and discomfort? I quit at 1.5inches bc of the pain and am satisfied but I would say I had pain for 5 months after lengthening. I am older than most. I am guessing that was a reason for the slow recovery.
How do people get 3 inches and look proportional? A lot of the docs could give a rat's behind about their patients, just bring the money. This is very clear after surgery.
