I'm 18 years old and I really hope that my spine grows 2 inches so if I did get LL I would be more proportional. A lot of my uncles and even my dad told me they grew 1-2 inches after 18 so I hope I inherited those growth genes. I mean you could literally lengthen fingers, toes, arms, legs but the only thing you can't lengthen even in the far future is the spine.
Yea but tell me one doctor that does finger lengthening :o? Also arms - only upper arms lower arms aren‘t doable for cosmetic reasons. Feet don‘t fucking matter. (I know a dude 5‘6 who has US 12 and another one is 6‘1 or so and wears US 7. funny thing is I never even noticed until I once saw the bottom of the shoe with the number on it). And for spine: sitting height is the least meaningful thing honestly.
@@youtubecommentsguy9805 lower arms can be doable in the future i saw a video where paley discussed this. I'm crazy but not that crazy im not lengthening hands and feet its too risky
Nice to see you (probably) picked up my comment last time 😅. Gotta agree in the end now. I think there are way too much proportions freaks about LL. I showed a friend of mine a dude who had -4inch ape index and he didn‘t even notice. After half a min I told him and he was like „ah yea maybe it looks a bit odd“. I think anyone should do LL then look how they feel before even thinking about arm lengthening. I bet 99% of people feel satisfied and don‘t want to get another surgery done just for the proportions to fit mathematically better afterwards. The only exception might be like you said if its noticeable for the untrained eye. But I bet that‘s only if you already have a very low wingspan then go for LL for more than 10cm.
I wish Ulna lengthening would be an option.. After lengthening the legs my wingspan now is 10cm shorter, when I wear shoes I think it looks weird :// and my humerus is much longer than the rest of the arm
@@yzyzyz44 well i think you do arms lengthening but your new height is great. In my case i am 166 male with 171 wingsparm and wanna be 177 cm with 2 surgeries but i thinking o do arms lengthening too but is it no so popular like this surgery :/
@@funkeyxenermkdeportes4860 yes nowadays many doctors offer upper arm lengthening, but not many people do it for cosmetic reasons. I hope you reach your goal of 11cm height increase. when is your first surgery? Btw You will be only 6 cm taller than your wingspan..this means 3cm on each arm, that is not very noticeable
My humerus' are about 4 inches too short. Im 41 now and it's been completely detrimental in my everyday life since i was very young. I grew to be 6ft 3in. And weigh on average 265lbs, however, with my humerus' looking the way they do, it makes it very difficult for me to even go outdoors because its so embarrassing. I constantly wear long sleeve shirts, even in the Hot summer months to try to hide my arms, however, when i bend my arms for any reason, people can still notice. Ive had suicidal thoughts because im so embarrassed of my arms. I wish the Lord would heal me and give me normal arms.
@Cyborg4Life of course. I'm just not in a financial situation that would allow me to get such an operation and probably never will be. But hey, some people don't have any limbs at all. I guess I should be grateful, to be honest. It's just very, very difficult to live with. Have a good one.
@@PAX_BISONICA I don’t know if it would be the same for you, but my insurance company will cover the costs of my lengthening surgery, since it is functional (fixing a discrepancy) rather than just for looks. Maybe you could explore that if you have health insurance.
Although 5cm is the average. On the old CLL forum there was a teenage girl and a middle aged man, (50's), in similar situations, and it showed the before and of them both doing 9cm external fixators, both doing fine after all was said and done. 9cm is roughly only a half inch away from complete correction for your discrepancies. I believe Dr. Lee mentions doing this with the Precise Nail on his TH-cam channel as well. I can't recall how much lengthening that patient did, but technically 8cm is not to shabby either in correcting your conditions.
I am SO happy I found this video. I have arm length discrepancy, my right humerus is approximately 2 inches shorter than my left humerus. In some situations it is extremely noticeable when I’m wearing a T-shirt, and I have been extremely self-conscious about it ever since I discovered it. Getting it fixed would improve my self-confidence. I am seriously considering cosmetic lengthening to correct it. It won’t happen in the very near future, but I want to select a clinic and doctor for the procedure that will get me the best results. Money is another factor as well, I could never afford it in the US now (without saving for many years) and I am hoping it’s cheaper if I do medical tourism to another country. Do you have any advice or tips for me?
An arm LLD wow! I think you're the first person I've come across who had that and I completely understand what you mean as I was a leg discrepancy patient. Yeah there should be a few surgeons internationally who do arm lengthening for medical cosmetic reasons to balance a discrepancy but do check if surgeon has done arm lengthening before you commit
@@redskulls10 wow, I forgot about this comment! But, I’m glad you asked. I still haven’t had the surgery yet. I’ve been doing research but I’ve had to put it off to deal with other parts of life. Just this last week, I approached my doctor about it and he referred me to a local orthopedic specialist clinic where I will very likely get the surgery. I’m going to schedule a consultation very soon. Insurance will cover the costs because it’s a discrepancy and not purely cosmetic.
My wingspan is 1,2 inches longer than my height. I'm 5'8. My goal is to get 4 inches taller with LL (2 inches femur, 2 inches tibia). So my apex index will be -2,8 inches. Would that be noticeable? Do you think I'd need arm lengthening or I'm fine?
The second one is not necessarily cosmetic . One of my arms is longer than the other and over time as I do daily tasks I tend to lean to one side more from not being able to account for that extra length . Causes your spine to bend over time and major back issues . Not just cosmetic 😅
I am actually close to having this done, as my right humerus is shorter than my left. I’ve always wondered if it would help prevent any future back problems.
After ur videos about Leg lengthening and now Arm lengthening , i just started thinking seriously about ... u know ,nevermind ,the sheeet has no bone anyway ,thanks for efforts .
I’m a short guy with a shorter wingspan than my height and somewhat broad shoulders that actually make my wingspan look closer to my height even though my arms are super short. My short forearms are what hurt my wingspan but I know that’s kind of dark territory so I’d be interested in humerus lengthening to at least try to make my arms look half way normal but I like to lift and me and my friends spar in kickboxing semi-often. I know that would sideline me from that for a while but if it would permanently affect my lifting or sparring, I wouldn’t want to do it. I’m not a trained fighter or power lifter. Just hobbies that I really enjoy and wouldn’t be willing to give up. I know you aren’t a doctor but I’m curious what you think Vic. You think it would affect me permanently in a negative way? I’d like to have longer arms to be able to look better in my eyes and to actually be able to reach things from further away like my job requires at times but if it would interfere with my hobbies permanently, it’s a no go for me. Thanks in advance, Vic. You’re the best!
Arm lengthening is a bit interesting as I feel you'd heal well but it could affect your training and performance for up to 1.5-2 years. I would say arm lengthening isn't as needed but for proportions sake you can keep it in mind but I think it could affect some athleticism but it still has yet to be seen

Hey Vic, nice video! Keep up the good work! I've read that you shouldn't do more than 3 cms per segment. What do you thing? Would more than 3 cms be too risky?
I didn't find much about lengthening surgery on the lower arm, but if it is possible to do both parts, is the recovery process faster than in the legs? does it look natural as if nothing has been done? and is it possible to recover the ROM fully? if nerve damage occurs are they reversible or the movements will be impaired forever?
Jalen Williams, a professional basketball player for the OKC Thunder, is 6'5 with an almost 7'3 wingspan. Would it be possible to recreate this and still maintain peak athletic performance?
If this surgery is safe and allows you to go back to sports with none to little disadvantages. I can see that this surgery will become popular with professional and aspiring professional boxers.
@@vinayakpawar-ju4eb bro you should do this surgery after 18. You are too young for this. And what is your height BTW? And which method? Lon or precise?
My wingspan is 1 inch longer than my height...I would like to get 3 inches taller so my ape index would be -2 inches, 1 inch on each arm...would that be noticable? I feel like my arms are just normal looking compared to my body.... Also I am thinking of getting 1.5 inch in my femur and 1.5 inch in my tibia to even that out. Is that worth it? I feel like 3 inch longer femur would look odd compared to my tibia
Save up then go to a decent doctor. Last thing you won‘t is a shitty doctor that cripples you. And yes 3 inch is like the average what people to (at least what I‘ve read)
What happens to the muscle bellies when you lengthen the bone? Do the muscle bellies get longer or does the tendon at the ends of it simply get longer?
I want to get this for my boxing. I'm at such a disadvantage for some oopponents. Just like that saying in hip hop. Your arms to short to box. I want to find a surgeon that will let me do a down payment and finance.
Bro, do u think cosmetic forearm lengthening could be a thing in future? Like 5 years from now on? I heared already some doctors are doing this for cosmetic reason which is extremely rare to come across.
Also funny thing. Irl proportions are much less noticeable than in pictures. So even if some proportion freak says „wingspan is too short!“ ppl will not see irl
Not exactly. First of all during LL you will lose weight due to atrophy due to decreased activity and slightly elevated metabolic rate. The saying "for every inch = 10lbs" but this is based on normal growth of a person (arms, legs, torso etc.). For LL this only applies to the legs (either segment) but even then the muscle growth is dependent on so many factors. But if you wanted to estimate I suppose you could divide this by 1/4. So if 8cm = 3 inches that's about 30lbs / 4 = about 7lbs after 8cm total after you're fully healed and muscle rebuilt everywhere 1-2 years post op which again is highly dependent on multiple factors so don't expect this for certain.
Merry Christmas 🎅. My question is that is possible you not able gain 2 inch height from lengthening surgery or its 100% sure you get more than 2 inch height from lengthening surgery please answer

I have a doubt if you increase 6inches by limb lengthening surgery according to the genetics 🧬 the person who did limb Lengthening surgery will his kids be taller than him or shorter than him🧐🧐🧐
Exactly. Height is not determined by environmental factors but instead by genetics so the children may or may not be taller than them but not based on LL just genetics
@@albertlourd Height genetics can be complicated but I believe it's a recessive trait as well so it's not as straightforward as your parents height. But hey congrats on being taller than your parents
@@Cyborg4Life It‘s not only recessive it‘s polygenetical. Which means multiple alleles influence one trait. It‘s not just the amount of hgh that determines somebodys height but also like IGF-1 or how well your small intestine absorbs nutrition. Or estrogen/testosterone and individual puberty. I think it‘s still not 100% known nowadays which is insane considering how advanced biochemistry has become. But what‘s for sure is in normal environment it‘s solely genetic and normal kids can‘t „stun“ their growth. That‘s only happening in abnormal scenarios (like maybe if you are badly malnourished during first weeks of your life or if your mother did drugs during pregnancy)
@@youtubecommentsguy9805 Well said! And you're right companies are advancing fast, making drugs like Increlex to help with the IGF-1.

Let's see if big companies like Biomarin can produce some stepping stone into the future...

@@raghav9766 It means do you have a medical disability or deformity of your radius or ulna or do you simply want to make them longer? If the latter then you'll find it very very hard to find a surgeon who will do it for length alone. The upper arm (humerus) is done but only by Dr. Paley I believe
how long does it take to recover from a stretch in the arm and forearm (3cm each) time on average? Can I stretch my arms and legs at the same time? That project of yours that you said was working to speed up the recovery from the bone stretching surgery, how is it going?
It should take about 2 months after you reach the length you want. You couldn't do both at same time because if legs are done you need arms to move and assist in moving. Project is going well. Hoping to drop some info on it this month or early next month

Question: Is finger lenghtening surgery possible as well [without sacrifing finger function]? If I am going to do it, it’s for cosmetic reasons. It’s also quite beneficial for playing instruments like guitar and piano for better finger reach.

Can I lengthen my FOREARMS? I DETEST HOW my forearms are NOT LONG enough to my satisfaction, and I want to kill myself if I cannot have longer forearms, and arms.
Stop what madness? What do you think I’m doing here? Do you think I am telling people to do this? Go back and watch all 200+ videos I’ve done and if you ever see me say “go get this procedure done” I’ll give you money. This channel is simply a resource to provide quality credible content around the topic I wish I had before I got it done for patients so they don’t fall into the wrong hands at clinics that are inexperienced that are causing the problems and crippling people. So before you start making unwarranted comments and accusations you should educate yourself on the true status of the LL industry and maybe you’ll be enlightened to what’s really going on.
What is this new obsession with being tall? Is this modern day Frankenstein/ cyborg experiment? There was a commercial years ago, It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature. What are the long term affects of this procedure? Bones get weak as for some people as they age. What if you get in an accident? What are the repairs / maintenance of all of this? Being tall will not change a persons life. It’s the person. Love yourself and the image that tue creator provided for you. There is a reason we are who we are. Love yourself and others will love you too.
Well if they do it with a top surgeon the risk is very low and no long term effects that you mentioned. But yeah there are some clinics out there that market this to everyone. I don't promote it just educate patients about it so they do it safely if they have decided to get it done so they don't go get butchered. But I understand what you're saying and agree it shouldn't be done solely for superficial reasons

I didn't find much about lengthening surgery on the lower arm, but if it is possible to do both parts, is the recovery process faster than in the legs?
does it look natural as if nothing has been done?
and is it possible to recover the ROM fully?
if nerve damage occurs are they reversible or the movements will be impaired forever?
Lower arm isn't recommended.
Jalen Williams, a professional basketball player for the OKC Thunder, is 6'5 with an almost 7'3 wingspan. Would it be possible to recreate this and still maintain peak athletic performance?
If this surgery is safe and allows you to go back to sports with none to little disadvantages. I can see that this surgery will become popular with professional and aspiring professional boxers.
after this there will be only one bone that needs lengthening
Will this help you fight better cause it gives more reach?
I just got limb lengthening surgery on 28 June it’s been 2 months, could you tell me when will I get it removed
Next year. Congrats on getting it done!

How would this be for professional athletic purposes after leg lenthening? Cricket bat swing (similar to baseball)
I've got arm lengthening surgery 16th November. Reason for it I've got cerebral palsy so I've got contracting muscles so it's bent.
No way did you really? I'd like to ask you questions about it
My wingspan is 1 inch longer than my height...I would like to get 3 inches taller so my ape index would be -2 inches, 1 inch on each arm...would that be noticable? I feel like my arms are just normal looking compared to my body.... Also I am thinking of getting 1.5 inch in my femur and 1.5 inch in my tibia to even that out. Is that worth it? I feel like 3 inch longer femur would look odd compared to my tibia
Nah you should look fine with a slight discrepancy in ABR
I'm 5'7, is it reasonable to expect to be 5'10 after leg lengthening? What would you suggest for someone tight on income?
@Daniel Story 🤣
@Daniel Story I don't even have a passport
@Daniel Story Thanks for the info
Save up then go to a decent doctor. Last thing you won‘t is a shitty doctor that cripples you. And yes 3 inch is like the average what people to (at least what I‘ve read)
@@youtubecommentsguy9805 I know in America it's like $90k, but I'm 32 and to save up that much would take insanely long.
What happens to the muscle bellies when you lengthen the bone? Do the muscle bellies get longer or does the tendon at the ends of it simply get longer?
Great question check this out - How muscles stretch and GROW during limb lengthening
th-cam.com/video/lnri5G1zP3o/w-d-xo.html
Quick question... so for the precise nail thingy....will the remove the nail from your bones after reaching the desired height or????
Yeah it is usually removed 1 yr after the surgery
I want to get this for my boxing. I'm at such a disadvantage for some oopponents.
Just like that saying in hip hop. Your arms to short to box.
I want to find a surgeon that will let me do a down payment and finance.
Lol is that so
I'm planning on getting 4 inches to reach 6'0, i hope i wont need arm lengthening since my wingspan is 5'10
over two surgeries I hope
@@Cyborg4Life yea it probably wont work in one
Bro, do u think cosmetic forearm lengthening could be a thing in future? Like 5 years from now on? I heared already some doctors are doing this for cosmetic reason which is extremely rare to come across.
Possibly. Hard to say where the med-dev companies have their focus since they're so quiet
@@Cyborg4LifeWell if only humerus is lengthened then the forearm might look short isn't it? Or will it not make much of a difference?
Also funny thing. Irl proportions are much less noticeable than in pictures. So even if some proportion freak says „wingspan is too short!“ ppl will not see irl
I agree, arm length for proportions sake is often overrated in the overall scheme of things
@@Cyborg4Life Yup. I rather would get 2 surgeries to go for 6 inches (with a good dr like paley ofc) than get 3 inches + arms.
ikr i wear 2 inch insoles no on noticed
also michael phelps has longer legs and arms relative to his torso and its impossible to tell
@@seif9923 Actually no he’s got a very long torso however someone like Usain Bolt has the proportions You described
Great video! Do they do the arm lengthening if one is missing their radial bone? And is there an age limit ? Like if one is in their 40s?
For deformity cases? It could be possible but to lengthen it for cosmetic purposes - as would be the other case - probably not no
can you lengthen arms and legs at the same time??
No because you need your arms to support yourself when your legs are lengthening
You would be unable to do literally anything for months. If you’re still thinking of it, one at a time lol!
I just want the best reach advantage when i fight lol
Hey if I do the limb lengthening surgery I won't be underweight right because I'm concerned I hope this will add muscle and weight in general as well.
Not exactly. First of all during LL you will lose weight due to atrophy due to decreased activity and slightly elevated metabolic rate.
The saying "for every inch = 10lbs" but this is based on normal growth of a person (arms, legs, torso etc.). For LL this only applies to the legs (either segment) but even then the muscle growth is dependent on so many factors. But if you wanted to estimate I suppose you could divide this by 1/4.
So if 8cm = 3 inches that's about 30lbs / 4 = about 7lbs after 8cm total after you're fully healed and muscle rebuilt everywhere 1-2 years post op which again is highly dependent on multiple factors so don't expect this for certain.
@@Cyborg4Life that sucks when will I gain my weight back I'm also taking muscle building seriously..
@@petrosmixides53 Eating enough food is really the only way
Merry Christmas 🎅. My question is that is possible you not able gain 2 inch height from lengthening surgery or its 100% sure you get more than 2 inch height from lengthening surgery please answer
People go upto 3 inches
Why are there so few vids on forearm lengthening. Is it more dangerous than other lengthening procedures?
I would say it's because you have to use an external fixator as the bones are too small to handle the internal nails...at least currently
@@Cyborg4Life but it is possible?
I want to add few inches to my arms (humerus) in length because when i grow my biceps they look so weird and unaesthetic.
Not necessarily
I am 5,6 with a 5,9 wingspan. Now I wanna say if I get legs lengthened about 5 inches I be 5,11 but after that my wingspan will be shorter than my height about 2 inches will I look weird ? What do you advice or what’s ur opinion and thank you

After arm lengthing ?
possibly 6-8 months. The bone needs to heal which takes about 2 after lengthening and then muscles gotta get strong again which can take time

@@TheJinzo1995 yeah just be careful it could affect things by creating more tension than your new muscle can handle
@@Cyborg4Life thank you man , you are awesome
Could you lengthen hands and such?
I don't think for cosmetic reasons
I have a doubt if you increase 6inches by limb lengthening surgery according to the genetics 🧬 the person who did limb Lengthening surgery will his kids be taller than him or shorter than him🧐🧐🧐
Exactly. Height is not determined by environmental factors but instead by genetics so the children may or may not be taller than them but not based on LL just genetics
@@Cyborg4Life I am 16 years old and I am 4 inches taller than my father he is 5”4 and I am 5”8 i have no idea how I got this tall 😂
@@albertlourd Height genetics can be complicated but I believe it's a recessive trait as well so it's not as straightforward as your parents height. But hey congrats on being taller than your parents
@@Cyborg4Life It‘s not only recessive it‘s polygenetical. Which means multiple alleles influence one trait. It‘s not just the amount of hgh that determines somebodys height but also like IGF-1 or how well your small intestine absorbs nutrition. Or estrogen/testosterone and individual puberty. I think it‘s still not 100% known nowadays which is insane considering how advanced biochemistry has become.
But what‘s for sure is in normal environment it‘s solely genetic and normal kids can‘t „stun“ their growth. That‘s only happening in abnormal scenarios (like maybe if you are badly malnourished during first weeks of your life or if your mother did drugs during pregnancy)
@@youtubecommentsguy9805 Well said! And you're right companies are advancing fast, making drugs like Increlex to help with the IGF-1. If only there was a thing such as a "normal" world where sleep is perfect, nutrition etc. but like you said the major part of your height is genetically determined. Let's see if big companies like Biomarin can produce some stepping stone into the future...
Hey Cyborg,
Do you know a good Surgeon that does Lower Arm legthening an Humerus ? I couldnt find one and greetings you are the best ❤
None really do lower arm lengthening for cosmetic cases. Only deformity

Body modification is becoming a real thing bruh cyberpunk knew it!
I’m 5’11 with a 5’11.5 wingspan. I know it sounds stupid but I wish I could get like an inch and a half on each humerus. Or ideally an inch on the humerus and forearm. No way i could ever afford it though or take the time off lol
Haha right - in an ideal world it would make things perfect
Will there be any damage nerve to the hand ? Are we able to move our hand, fingers ext… like normally?

@@Cyborg4Life what does it even mean it's possible mean it's possible ...my forearms are already short and soon I am going for a limb lenghtening surgery so I have to go for it right...
@@raghav9766 It means do you have a medical disability or deformity of your radius or ulna or do you simply want to make them longer? If the latter then you'll find it very very hard to find a surgeon who will do it for length alone. The upper arm (humerus) is done but only by Dr. Paley I believe
But I want to ask why it is very hard to lenghten forearm if leg lenghtening is possible
As you said in the video if the arms are shorter than legs you can go for it
Do you do radius limb lengthening ?
No only humerus
how long does it take to recover from a stretch in the arm and forearm (3cm each) time on average?
Can I stretch my arms and legs at the same time?
That project of yours that you said was working to speed up the recovery from the bone stretching surgery, how is it going?
It should take about 2 months after you reach the length you want. You couldn't do both at same time because if legs are done you need arms to move and assist in moving. Project is going well. Hoping to drop some info on it this month or early next month

Question: Is finger lenghtening surgery possible as well [without sacrifing finger function]?
If I am going to do it, it’s for cosmetic reasons. It’s also quite beneficial for playing instruments like guitar and piano for better finger reach. From what I’ve read, you can perform the lengthening surgery on the fingers if you are willing to sacrifice function. I really would want to hear your take.
Thanks! ❤

Just because you have fancy medical terminology for it doesn't make it a good idea. Stop this madness.
Stop what madness? What do you think I’m doing here? Do you think I am telling people to do this? Go back and watch all 200+ videos I’ve done and if you ever see me say “go get this procedure done” I’ll give you money. This channel is simply a resource to provide quality credible content around the topic I wish I had before I got it done for patients so they don’t fall into the wrong hands at clinics that are inexperienced that are causing the problems and crippling people. So before you start making unwarranted comments and accusations you should educate yourself on the true status of the LL industry and maybe you’ll be enlightened to what’s really going on.
Heyy
Hello there!
What is this new obsession with being tall? Is this modern day Frankenstein/ cyborg experiment? There was a commercial years ago, It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature. What are the long term affects of this procedure? Bones get weak as for some people as they age. What if you get in an accident? What are the repairs / maintenance of all of this? Being tall will not change a persons life. It’s the person. Love yourself and the image that tue creator provided for you. There is a reason we are who we are. Love yourself and others will love you too.
Well if they do it with a top surgeon the risk is very low and no long term effects that you mentioned. But yeah there are some clinics out there that market this to everyone. I don't promote it just educate patients about it so they do it safely if they have decided to get it done so they don't go get butchered. But I understand what you're saying and agree it shouldn't be done solely for superficial reasons
Victor it is okay if your height is 5'10 but armspan is shorter like 5'7. Would it matter in terms of attractiveness? Thanks in advance.
girls only look at your face and body fat and how to dress up, not body proportions. nobody will notice you have shorter wingspan than your height unless it is abnormally short lol
