first of all, this limb lengthening surgery takes 1-2 hours depending on various factors, BUT the key differences are made by you (patient)& attenders available. every day, you have to alter the lengthening appliance at specified intervals & turns..which will be removed after you achieve the desired height.
Next Steps
xray of both lower limbs.

Limb lengthening surgery itself may take a few hours, but it is a long journey involving pre-operative planning, multiple surgical procedures, post-operative care, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. It carries a significant physical, psychological, and financial burden. As it is considered a cosmetic procedure, many insurance companies may not cover the cost. The total expense varies from hospital to hospital and surgeon to surgeon. You must also factor in the cost of post-operative care, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and potential loss of income due to time off work. It’s a sad but bitter truth that external and physical appearance is often wrongly associated with a person’s social status. But the reality is — your appearance does not define who you are. Please don’t let such superficial things affect your peace of mind. I strongly recommend seeking help from a mental health professional who can guide you in dealing with insecurities and building self-confidence. Remember, there is a beautiful Marathi saying often associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj: "Murti lahan, pan kirti mahan", which means — "Though the physical stature may be small, the greatness lies in the good deeds and achievements."
