Recovery from two surgeries

Edit Post

Hey guys if someone wanted to get two surgeries one of femurs and one on tibia 5 cm on both how long would it take to recover.

I’m 177.7 cm 5’10 and want to get to 6’2 187.7 cm

Sitting height is 94.5
Wingspan 182.6
Inseam 78 cm
Torso size 20 inches

The reason I listed all the above information was to get your view on current per portions and what they would look like after surgery

Inseam btw after surgery would be 88 cm 34 inches which for 6’2 doesn’t seem to out of proportions.

What are your thoughts on this information.

Yea the torso size isn’t the problem I mean look at Conan O’Brian he has a really short torso compared to his height and he’s like 6’5 only real problem is armspan/Wingspan

The fastest you can be fully weight-bearing on all segments, walking unaided, is around a year without complications. If you opt to do them separately, give it two years (with the flexibility of not stopping if satisfied or taking a break).

Regarding the outcome, the choice is yours:

• Get 5 cm done on tibias or femurs to match your wingspan
• Get all segments done and prioritize height over proportions

Not everyone is born with "perfect" proportions, and not everyone expects you to be. The magic of CLL is that you have a chance to tweak it. We (i.e. the CLL community) pick apart celebrities like Henry Cavill, but everyone else won't even bat an eye. You'll be the one you're pleasing, so just go with your gut.

Thanks for thE advice what is better for recovery and being able to run and so on after LL 2 surgeries at the same time or a year apart and yea thanks for reminding me about Cavill’s perportions no on other then LL forum people even notice it

If you take a look at many taller people, you'll notice they simply seem to have "long leg" genes. Not all of them have bigger torsos, shoulders, etc to go with their legs.

That’s actually pretty true I’m pretty sure if you do a photoshop of some people next to super tall people just raising their legs they would look pretty even.

You make an excellent point
