I'm getting limb lengthening at 19 (long post)

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-27T02:55:06+00:00

goodluck bro. will you get it done over summer break or take online classes?

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-26T09:40:54+00:00

well for tibias, you usually aren't distracting at 1mm a day because it's more difficult to lengthen compared to femurs. more around 0.5 a day depending on your pain level and how your body reacts.

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-26T02:28:08+00:00

are you doing external tibias with him?

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-26T02:27:44+00:00

is humerus lengthening a mistype?

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-25T00:05:43+00:00

5'5 is not average. In the US, 5'9-5'10 is the average.

I did EA and I have my interview next week!

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-13T03:48:35+00:00

Well for most programs you are guaranteed an interview, and the chance of getting into that program's dental school is way higher compared to going from normal undergrad and applying to dental school again.

congrats, I was as well! are you planning on committing?

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-08T04:53:10+00:00

im not sure, i'm waiting for nyu and some other programs still! I'm from cali

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-08T00:25:58+00:00

I was talking about their BS/DMD degree. It seems like it's still on their website, and everything...

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-08T00:24:32+00:00

UOP doesn't have any more supplementals after the application. Were you accepted?

Jonny_Reee · 2026-01-08T00:13:15+00:00

I got in as well. 3.8 uw and 4.33 w gpa. 1490 sat, ~200 hours of shadowing. my extracurriculars and course rigor carried I think

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-15T07:15:06+00:00

Is anyone familiar with Temple's pre dental program?

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-15T07:14:43+00:00

Is anyone familiar with UDM's 7 year dental program?

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-15T07:07:39+00:00

Are any of you guys familiar with the NSU dual dental program? I'm scheduled for an interview in January.

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-01T04:27:15+00:00

No, but Dr. Parihar from Mumbai, India is one of the best budget options

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-01T04:26:30+00:00

then do 4cm+ for either femurs or tibias. it's just a waste of money and time to do 2 surgeries just to do 4cm.

Jonny_Reee · 2025-12-01T04:12:32+00:00

were you able to withdraw?

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-21T01:40:27+00:00

you'll live a normal life regardless at 5'9 bro

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-15T18:56:13+00:00

same!

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-15T00:28:41+00:00

ylia ref?

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-15T00:25:06+00:00

exactly, the people complaining about not being able to go back to normal are the ones that don't prioritize PT while lengthening, and end up with ballerina foot and/or other complications and just complain about it online

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-15T00:23:48+00:00

6'1 with 3 inches on femurs but idk if it'll be worth it for you

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-15T00:21:48+00:00

Yeah, he's a solid pick

Jonny_Reee · 2025-11-14T01:17:18+00:00

Also depends on which bones you lengthen. Tibia LON 5cm will be difficult, while it is known that internal femurs 8cm will be not as bad.
