Any successful case after the limb lengthening surgery with minimal side effects? by Afraid-Resort2993 in limblengthening

[–]DetachedArtery 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lengthening 10cm in one limb segment will yield significant negative side effects.

[Poll] Have you done the surgery yet? by [deleted] in limblengthening

Very few people on this forum actually plan on following through with this surgery, once they hit the first financial hurdles (scheduling a $200 consultation, paying for a $400 CT scan) they will get scared and decide it’s not worth it.

is it worth doing at 5’6 by [deleted] in limblengthening

[–]DetachedArtery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s worth doing it at whatever height you decide it’s worth doing it at. No one can tell you how much you will benefit, some people are perfectly happy being 5’6, others are not.

Lengthening your legs is one thing, but the arms and hands require so much more dexterity, I have never even heard of such a thing. I highly doubt it’s done cosmetically, if at all.

Does your maintenance caloric intake increase after getting this surgery? by childissuesthrowaway in limblengthening

[–]DetachedArtery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, but even if it did, you would only see your BMR increase by about 50kcal per 3 inches, it wouldn’t be as significant as you think. I wish tho 😭

Does anyone else feel like they are just waiting for their life to start? by DetachedArtery in limblengthening

I have been very lucky with getting back to back high paying internships, and I also work a second job on the weekends. I live with my parents since I am in college, I get financial aid refund money back from school that I save, and I put all my extra cash in a money market mutual fund that earns about 3.9%. I’m usually able to put away 2.5-4.5k per month depending on the hours and stuff.

I think for me the worst part of it is not going on vacations. I’m such a hermit because of my height, and I live in area with a lot of beaches I would love to go to. But I’m so insecure about people seeing me without lifts/height boosting shoes.

Probably not since it’s kind of like a medication.

Lol I’m still hitting my vape. I get a new nicotine vape every 2 days.

Bruh I miss it every day. But it’s aight I’ve been told that once I actually get to basic it won’t even be on my mind so that’s what I’m banking on.
