When people say that doing more than 6-7 cm in only one segment is dangerous, I understand it.
 but that also applies if I plan to do 3.5 in tibias and 4.5 in femur making a total of 8cm? 
It would also be dangerous? Is a question a bit silly but I've always had that doubt

LL is one of the hardest surgeries, pretty everyone will suffer from it in old age at least, you risk health and lifetime.

Maximum safe limit for tibias is 5-6 cm and for femurs it is 7-8cm

Lengthening any more than that in each segment is unsafe and will greatly affect athletic abilities for majority of people

How will you suffer in old age if you stay with conservative limits and have good recovery? Like 4cm on each or something shouldnt cause many problems

In old age you feel pretty every injury past days.
LL is a big deal, soft tissues like tendon don't really grow ( well they can 4 -5 % max) in adult age, they can be stretched to a certain extent. However they are on tension, so the joints are also affected.
What young people naturally grow in one year is reduced to 3 months this entails consequences.

>feel pretty every injury past days.

What do you mean? Weirdly laid out sentence. And how do you know this? There haven't been any studies done on patients who did it early in old age.

There are also literally no old people who have talked about this either. I think the guy we had who got it the longest ago was 15 years ago and he was leg pressing a   ton of weight in his videos he posted here.
