Myths of limb lengthening

[@cartoonygothica]

Honestly, even if I could get this surgery, I don't expect it to solve all of my problems. I feel like being at least a few inches taller would make me feel a bit more empowered, but as we all know, limb lengthening takes a lot of time and work, and not all of my problems are even about my height.

[@joelentrup6658]

Also, another myth I think you left out is how Limb Lengthening is an extremely risky procedure. The truth is that EVERY surgery has it's set of risks associated with it. Limb Lengthening is no different, but the risk is greatly exaggerated. Don't know if this is correct, but I read on a medical website that it had a 95% success rate, at least for cosmetic purposes. True that not every patient will be free of complications, as you mentioned in the video, that doesn't mean it's likely. For most, the risks are worth it because of how our height depresses us on a daily basis.

[@Cyborg4Life]

Nice!

[@gj9157]

True, this surgery has its risks like any other, but isn't nearly as "dangerous" as people like to claim it is. The common misconception this procedure gets is usually due to Indian doctors who perform the same surgery with outdated methods like the (ilizarov frames). So many people are unaware of all the other methods we have now that garner far less complications rates.

[@joelentrup6658]

@@gj9157 Well said

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

It‘s a pretty massive surgery though but of course miles less severe than heart or brain surgery. But I‘d say I rather have this than a Roux Y bypass or something on that level. (Even though risks might be on a similar level) (E:/ keep in mind for LL you are pretty long under anaesthesia in comparison to other surgeries)

Good to see you back Victor! I hope all is well and you decide to continue Cyborg 4 Life! Also, whenever possible, I messaged you.

Keep up the amazing work! Would love an update with the patient of Dr Betz that you did a video with (Sorry, I can't remember his name) unless you have already done one recently and I missed it?

[@Cyborg4Life]

I think you mean Johannes? He sent me an update recently - doing really well. He's on a different time zone I'll see what we can do

[@JB-so5gr]

@@Cyborg4Life Yeah, that's him. Good to hear he's doing well. Thanks, that would be great! Even just a short video from him doing some walking, talking about things he'd do differently, showing video's/pictures of the journey through leg-lengthening, etc would be great if that suits you both better

[@Alan-gu1hp]

So, I have a doubt. I do calisthenics and practice yoga, making me more flexible than most people. Would that make the recovery easier?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Sure it can help but things will still get tight. At least you'll know what to do and what it takes to maintain flexibility - thus recovering easier

[@Alan-gu1hp]

@@Cyborg4Life thanks, It was very helpful

[@pandat9011]

Bro van you do one research and publish it on your website.i am asking you to collect information about the patients who had done this surgery 15-20years ago.earlier they used to do that in case of accident.i want to know if anyone among them have arithritis.arithritis is one of the main issue I am fearing off

[@Ahaii]

Second comment from me, you have place the head of canadian surgeon why ? At 9:21 I am french so I dont understand everything in detail but its spike ? Im asking cause its literally the first about I have heard before I start to do lot of research about the subject and I was thinking who she was "the better" If there is a problem can you telle me ? Cause sh'es canadian who is a developped country I was thinking who it's better than going to Turkey for example

[@Ahaii]

With your vids I have understand who theres better surgeons like Paley I think but he's really expensive but so much experience and he formed lot of surgeons, Personnally If I do this i'm looking for the french surgeon who is in Spain or Italy, Mouhabian or the Korean for now but i'm going to search the total of the money before looking for exactly who choose

[@lolnyanterts]

Sup Vic, do you think flexibility is that important if you’re doing a 4x4x4x4 procedure? You know I mentioned this but it’s a 4cm increase every year or two or three then a rebreak for quadrilaterals.

[@Cyborg4Life]

Yeah it’ll be important even for that staggered lengthening process

[@zanzah_]

Hello Vic, your sexy face helped me decide to get my 2.5cm LLD fixed. 1 month post op and lengh achieved, now the fun part 🎉 Chronic back pain is already a million times better.

[@Cyborg4Life]

Hahaha! Is that so? Well I'm so glad to hear that your chronic back pain is subsiding from the discrepancy fix

[@Joe-dz2fl]

Will your femurs remain thin forever despite the gym after surgery? A lot of the patients after recovery look like they have very skinny legs

[@Cyborg4Life]

No they will rebuild

[@ramiv9953]

[@ProgrammingExplosion]

Hey Victor, I've been reading some online diaries on Dr. Betz and a lot of people seemed to be complaining of broken nails and resulting complications from that. I'm still researching and I think the Betz nail is a good option as I value weight-bearing capability, but do you know anything about the success or complication rate with the Betz nail?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Hmm not sure I haven’t heard of any particular cases of that. Yeah it’s a weight bearing nail option but definitely worth you investigating more to be sure

[@uo9zzzyxwvutsrqp0nmkjihgfe43]

Do people make it seem scarier than it is? Or is limb lengthening something to be scared about?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Don't fear it but definitely be aware of what you're getting yourself into

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

Being scared is subjective. Once you pull up in the hospital you gonna jump out of your skin, once you get hooked up to the iv anxiety level will be so high you would just want to run away but once you are done it is gone and now there is only one path ahead

[@ZuZu66667]

In previous you said it not ideal to lengthen humerus, can you elaborate why?

[@Cyborg4Life]

I just think it's not really necessary for most. But I think if an experienced surgeon performs it and you are careful in recovery it could work out

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

@@Cyborg4Life could work but is absolutely ridiculous and risky. Mainly because the nerve lays in a craving on the bone. It gets compressed very often which leads to decompress surgery which will give you a huge ass scar that is not worth at all for any amount in a non dwarfism patient

Is there a list of where to find good surgeons?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Yeah sure here’s a free resource I made with a list of surgeons- cyborg4life.com/secrets

[@قناص-ط8ب]

hello sir I have a question, I am 165 cm tall How much can I add to my height and keep my body in proportion? Which is better, leg or thigh lengthening? Note that my arm length is 166 cm can you reply please

[@Cyborg4Life]

I don't have enough info to go off of like pictures or other measurements but even then it probably would fall between 3-4 inches or 8-10 cm over two lengthenings as your arms and height are pretty much even so you should be okay

[@Cyborg4Life]

A better question is what do you think of him?

[@adamkern5]

@@Cyborg4Life On one hand, he's managed to build a little community of people doing the operation, this is huge for moral support.. But on the other hand, a lot of his case studies are for people doing 10+cm on femur, which is, based on my understanding so far, something that shouldn't be done. That's why I wanted to get your opinion on whether he's someone you'd recommend?

[@waleed4752]

I have a question, is there a way or a process to lengthen the torso?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Not for cosmetic purposes

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

@@Cyborg4Life no there is none. Scoliosis surgery or disc prolapse surgery doesn‘t count as lengthening. You can‘t lengthen the vertebrae.

[@HeightJourney]

One more myth about LL: There is a magic number to lengthen to get the perfect balance of most height and preserved athletic ability. In reality, there is no magic number and there are various factors that are unique for each person. But people still ask me anyway.

[@Cyborg4Life]

This is true...so many factors play into it!

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

So true. People think like 6cm is fine but 6.1cm will fuck you up. In reality it will fuck you up and yea the difference between 2cm and 10cm is probably significant, the real recovery will be tough but pretty much the same (except slightly longer) if you do 5cm or 7cm (unless complications ofc)

hi, i'm posting this possible alternative for limb lengthening to gain height. using hyaluronic acid in your legs Step one. using hyaluronic acid as heels. 2cm Inject hyaluronic acid knee. 1.5cm to 2cm inject hyaluronic acid in your spine. 2cm We are increasing the volume of our cartilage to get 5 cm to ur height. No recovery time need It can be reversible if you dont like less expensive It is just a teory, because ive seen how people gain heigh with this, but is not oficial. and all procesures are separates. my idea is to use all of them to get a more cheaper option. Thanks if you can reply of suggest somethig to this teory

[@indrasingh6243]

@@gj9157 i mean foreigners are only familiar with dr. Sarin Who is a scum Other than that Like dr. Parihar is great surgeon Many more are there. Like pradip sharma etc So i dont think there is much risk in india compared to turkey per say
