Is the maximum lengthening program safe? And is there research on it?

Dr. Donghoon claims you can lengthen up to 14cm safely. This seems a little outrageous to me.

Paley's maximum lengthening program is 16 cm  Is the maximum lengthening program safe? And is there research on it?
I wonder how proportionate someone with average proportions initially would look after something like that
If I did that I'd be like 6'1" and that seems very strange to imagine

Dr.Paley can lengthen you by 16cm at most safely if your fund was enough.
14cm..I think it's combination of 6cm tibia and 8cm femur.

Well, it's a maximum.  Maybe me means not everyone can get that.  It seems like an outrageous promise to make that anyone could achieve that much.

Agree. I think 8-9cm should be maximum for athletic performance and good recovery, and even that isn't guaranteed.
