Recovery time / Challenges due to 3cm Tibia Lengthening

It might be prudent as it greatly reduces the likelihood of long-term issues. However, performing limb lengthening between 3.2-4 cm on the tibia should be paired with 4-5 cm on the femur to achieve a visible end result.

Height Journey underwent a 3.7 cm tibia procedure following a 7 cm femur surgery; you can gain some perspective by reading his tibia diary:

It is not really worth it for just 3cm, in my opinion.

What is your height? If you are close to the average height, a 4CM increase will be apparent. If you are 5’3”, it will not be noticeable. Still, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t choose femurs over tibias; there are fewer complications and a quicker recovery time.

I will never comprehend why individuals desire anything under 4cm. Why not simply opt for lifts?

Yeah, I concur. Planning for a 3cm maximum increase for limb lengthening. Eagerly anticipating a smooth and uncomplicated recovery.

I understand that objectives for limb lengthening vary, but wow, taking the chance of developing ballerina foot, drop foot, pulmonary embolism, losing 100k, and enduring 6 months to a year in recuperation just to match someone’s height with shoes on? That seems quite foolish.

How much limb lengthening did you undergo on your femurs?  If this procedure is aimed at achieving a more proportionate body ratio, I believe it could be beneficial.  You will certainly notice a difference of 3CM.  Individuals often react negatively when faced with the idea that their legs might resemble praying mantis arms due to altered reality, but this reaction is usually driven by their financial limitations restricting them to only one surgery as they strive to increase their height.  However, if the outcome leaves you with disproportionate body proportions, it may become a source of distress.  Cyborg highlighted in a video how many individuals reach out to him expressing remorse over their body proportions once the initial excitement wears off and they start receiving strange looks from others.  I have observed comments such as “just avoid going to the beach altogether” and “once you undress, the truth will be revealed anyway,” which begs the question: is this the lifestyle you desire?

In general, the ratios that hold significance primarily involve the tibia/femur proportions.  Achieving the right balance between leg length and overall body height is usually more challenging to achieve.

Therefore, if your goal is to increase your height slightly and attain better body ratios, I would recommend going ahead with the procedure.  Ideally, both surgeries should have been performed around the same time to save time and effort.

Providing precise advice is somewhat difficult without knowing your current height and the extent of the limb lengthening performed on your femurs.

Proportions play a vital role. Men in this space criticize you for disrupting their expectations. Based on my observations from various videos, it seems that most individuals can achieve results with 6cm femurs, while only a few can do so with 8cm. The figures for tibias are even more restricted due to the noticeable elevation of the knees.

6cm is ideal for almost everyone. 2 inches can make a significant difference, and you will appear typical. My designs began to appear strange beyond that point, although for me, I was precisely at the 0.80 ratio. I came across a comment here saying “individuals will only recognize it when you are seated.” So, what’s the strategy here… you simply avoid sitting from now on? lmfao. Avoid going to the beach, refrain from undressing, and avoid sitting down. Understood.

How were your mock-ups created, by the way? Photoshop?
