have never juiced, and 5 hours a week is literally nothing.

Less than 1 hour a day to feel great, have an aesthetic body, have more energy and keep healthy? Most people dont need an insanely strict diet unless they're competing/prepping for a show. Just stick to the basics of Whole Foods and high quality protein.

Only way I would ever consider limb lengthening was if I was legit 5 foot.

In essence they're fracturing both my femurs the first procedure, then day by day the fracture continues to get stretched while new "bone" gets formed to fill in the gap. Rinse and repeat for the second procedure but on both tibias.

I don't think each one is better than the other. But as someone who's been lifting for close to 10 years, you know what are two things that deter me from enhancing myself that I don't need to worry about with LL? Research compounds that have never "actually" been researched, and affecting my hormones/sex life long-term. LL has been been researched more and more every year with new advancements + I don't have to worry about my hormones being messed with. Lifting/bodybuilding naturally is a different story, one of the best things you could do for yourself imo

I'll be updating this thread with updates regarding my procedure up until after the operation

I agree that being 5ft6 in 2021 must be brutal. But 5 months recovery for the first and longer for the second.. A year down it a big deal.

I almost got a correction done to fix the curvature in my leg but it is basically the same thing you are doing. Painful barbaric

Not trolling in the slightest bit. Soon I have another consultation + final x-rays that I'll be sending over to the my surgeon. That'll be the first update next week with pics.

edit: Posted screenshots of info I was getting from my doctor a couple months ago before I finally decided to get the procedure.

OP probably has never had an Orthopedic surgery before. Even if it goes we'll, the post op pain and recovery is just brutal.

Got a tiny fissure on an ankle like 10 years ago, had a cast on it for like 3 weeks, and to this day I still get random sharp pains on that place.


I can only imagine how much pain will you feel for the next few decades OP. You seem pretty convinced by now, so I guess good luck to you.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

How old are you? What is the highest education you have completed?

Do you realize that even if you do not die you risk never walking again? Do you realize that you can die easily from infections and Covid getting an ultra intensive surgery in Turkey.

This is insanity. Please talk to some doctors that are not from Turkey or looking to bank $50,000+ to cut you up and rebuild you.

Do you live in Turkey? What is your home country?

5 inches seems a bit extreme but I’ve done lots of research into leg lengthening. There is a renowned surgeon in Nevada specializing in it.

If I were you, I’d do 2” max and pay more for quality work. If I had throwaway money I’d do the surgery myself dead fukn srs. But pain and recovery for a few inches isn’t worth it.

5” is gonna be rough man. What if you nope out after the first round? Lot of variables.

Yeah **** it I’ll stay content at 5’10

Are you prepared for the worst outcome? Do you have a contingency plan in place if you end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?

Will this be your last modification or do you have 20 other changes you want done? Will it ever stop?

5'6" isn't even that short. In boots you're probably 5'9", which is around average male adult height.
