Women in china are using leg lengthening procedures to look better and get better jobs, what do you think?
this is for a women’s studies course, not me

okay i’m in high school and i’m veryy short. to be specific i’m 4’11. also i have extremely muscular legs from sports. last year i got best dressed for my grade so obviously i like to dress well and be seen. just some clothes i know my legs look waaayy too short. any tips on jeans, shoes, or anything that would make my legs look longer??

Does anybody have any info about it? I’m 16 and 5’6", and I’m planning to get it later on in life if I don’t grow. There’s a good chance that I won’t, considering that my mom is 5’6" and my dad is 5’7".

So anyways, I hear it’s expensive. How much does it cost (around)?

Also, how long does recovery take? And can the procedure be done in America? Thanks in advance.

Im currently 16 years old and today at the hospital, i was told that i need leg lengthening surgery on one of my legs because it is between 2 and 3 centimeters shorter than the other.
There are two factors which are really putting me off of the surgery, the first being the amount of recovery time. I play a lot of sport and was told i would be out of action for an average of six months.

The thing i really want to know, is how pain full it is, when the left is actually being lengthened, i have heard that a dial on the brace is turned possibly each day, to stretch the leg by a millimeter maybe?

I realldon’tnt do very well with pain, small things really feel like agony to me! Perhaps you can say im a wimp lol but its true!

I would just like someone to be honest and tell me how pain full actually turning of the dial is each time

Thank you

i am 5’6", 25 years old, and just now learning how we short men are basicly not attractive to women and would be considered at the bottom of there list when it comes to potential mates..

the legs longer?

just a thought. I’ve always wondered why they don’t do it that way, it seems a lot safer and lot a less painful!

Im 5’2 and in my early -very early- 20′s, and have short legs. I think about cosmetic leg lengthening almost everyday. Every morning -while im getting dressed- is a constant reminder of how disproportionate my legs are to the rest of me. Im doing this to feel good about myself. im grateful for what i have, but hate how insecure i am about my legs. I don’t think its normal to obsess about long -even normal- sized legs as much as i do. Im always looking at others in jeans and think "wish i could wear skinny jeans with flats". Everything i do is dedicated to get taller; ie. constantly stretching, workout alot, take vitamins to promote growth, continuously reading of Cosmetic leg lengthening surgery or on diets to promote growth. I definitely want to do the surgery; Also -no offense to those abroad- but, I’d only do it in the U.S. The only thing holding me back is the money. To be straightforward I need to raise 0,000, and though i can’t repay you with cash, i can offer to answer all your questions, provide a daily blunt/raw blog of how im feeling after surgery, or if physical therapy is doable, what exactly this "excruciating pain" really is,whatever it is that you want to know. I can tell you everything im going through, whether to help you make your own decision about doing the surgery or just for your sheer entertainment or maybe you really want to help me from your heart. I would be so blessed to get this surgery financed, it would be a dream come true. And who knows if someone -maybe you- could help me. Like the saying goes….You never know until you try. You would help with my sanity too.

i am really interested to have cosmetic leg lengthening procedure. i’m 5’0 slim /slender . 34c,23,35.I’m happy with my figure but i really dont like my height. I’m 20 yrs old and im vain. I’m not happy and satisfied with the way i look…although alot of my friends envy my body still i wanna be taller …3-4 inches would be fine beco’s my goal is not to be that tall but i dont wanna look short. Im asian bdw. Is there any place or country that will do those kinda procedures? and how much and what are th side effects?

does any one know Random hero leg lengthening forum website address?

I.e. when the bones are cut and pulled apart so they grow back together and the person gains inches – would their legs look out of proportion with the rest of their body? Or does it all just fit into place? I would consider it but I don’t wanna look like a numpty lol. Any before-and-after pictures available on the net?

Thanks a lot.

no lie..google it..

its very painful.

My question is is it the most dangerous thing to do to make you taller because i know they band this from japan i think it was for people having so much pain after words but do they still do that in the USA? Because i was really thinking that i should do that since there’s no other way for me to grow even more and the part i’m worried about is the surgery i mean it would be my first surgery and i’m not sure if it will go right ?Like if i’ll get side effects or something?

I am thinking about getting leg lengthening done and I was wondering about what you all think about the operation.
if you read my other post you will know why i want to get this done

every thing about surgery about cost,best hospital for surgery,harms and in future it will problem for my life or not?

If so please provide a reference.

Why doesn’t Tom Cruise have cosmetic leg lengthening done? so he can be taller? he is no stranger to cosmetic procedures.

I DONT WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE SHORT PPL TALLER…I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN BE SHORTER I’AM 5 ELEVEN!
I WANT TO BE SHORT(ER) LIKE FIVE SEVEN I HATE BEING THIS TALL, MEN DONT THINK OF WOMEN WHO ARE THIS TALL AS CUTE…MORE LIKE MANISH.
I HATE IT, I AM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT CUTTING MY LEGS DOWN.

they use an internal method that leaves very little scaring. i got approved to have lengthening done in the us and have it covered by insurance, but they currently only use an external fixator at the clinic that my insurance approve. the external fixator leaves huge scares and runs the risk of pin sight infections.

please let me know if you’ve had any experience with the bonamed clinic!

I Broke my femur a month ago and now my right leg is like a few centimeters shorter than the other it does look short and my doctor told me on monday that he recommends i get the surgery to help or if not im always gonna have 2 use shoe inserts in my shoes Need more info on this where would they put the external cage on my thiegh or leg since i broke my femur? HELP

I’m 18, 5’1, and my legs are really short and disproportional compared to the rest of my body. I’ve read about techniques like putting weights on legs while sitting, sleeping on the edge of a bed so that legs hang off the bed and grow longer and was wondering if they really work? And besides leg surgery, what other methods are there for the leg bones to grow longer?

a few Q’s….

how much would it cost for a decent doctor to perform (i dont really want a back street butcher in a 3rd world country) – pref in america

how much can i grow by?

what problems can occur?

scarring?

how long prep time needed/ recovery time needed?

any other helpful info?

plz plz plz dont go on about be yourself and you dont need it. i do need it. no point in posting if thats all your gonna say

cheers in advance, chris

My 4 year old grandson is scheduled to have leg lengthening surgery in September. We are hoping to gain two inches over 5 to 6 months. Just want to hear from someone who has been through this or a parent/grandparent who can give a view of what to expect.
