How are your views on tibia lengthening in general? Do you think it’s possible to maintain ~90% of athletic ability if one goes for 3 cm to not strain the ACL too much?
I am totally against on doing something so invasive, risky and expensive for only 3cm. The minimum I believe that LL is worth are 5cm.
That said, id everything goes fine I find no reason to not reach 90% with lengthening only 3cm. Even with 5cm I believe you could be near there if you have a successful result.

do you think people can generally reach 5cm? Coz imagine if you cant even get 5cm and doctors says its enough lengthenign

I can tell you as a financially successful person that it helps but it has limits.

Yes, 5cm is a safe and doable amount for any LLer and capable.doctor. Don't do LL for less than that, it won't change anything to how you look.

5cm is totally safe even for tibias.
For very short people I don't think 5cm+5cm is enough.
You gotta make a trade-off between a post-surgery tragedy that you will be still short after bilateral lengthening and run the marginal risks beyond the 10cm safe limit by 2-3cm(I don't think that is as horrible as some users here said).

I might go for 5-7cm then. I dont really need it but I have enough money and dont know what to do with it.
Like I could invest it but I dont plan to live that long tbh.

Edit Post

Which country or doctor are you contemplating doing with LL with?

Edit Post

Germany or Poland. Its closeby, on top I have more control over my rights
I dont know if i can trust polish doctors, i think they lack experience. Some were
apparently trained by paley but you also need some patient cases under your belt

4cm is pretty good. If it means better recovery and proportions-wise, might be a wise move.
