About CLL Patient "Height Journey"
Cosmetic leg lengthening is not just a quick sprint, a medium distance race, or even a marathon that can be completed in several hours. It is literally a journey that most likely takes over a year. After the surgery, you have a few months in the lengthening phase. Then several more months in the consolidation phase until the internal nail or external fixator can be removed. And don't forget the several months before surgery needed to prepare for this journey, which includes the preconsultation appointment with X-rays. It is a journey and this is my summary of my own height journey that fits my screen name.
- March 2021 - Femur lengthening surgery with Precice 2.2 nails.
- June 2021 - Finished lengthening 7cm (2.75 inch) on femurs.
- July 2022 - Tibia lengthening surgery with Precice 2.2 nails. Also correct external tibia torsion on my right tibia.
- September 2022 - Finished lengthening 3.7cm (1.46 inch) on tibias.
- Sometime in 2023 - Will have surgery to remove Precice 2.2 nails in both femurs and tibias.
"Seeing is believing"
These are famous quotes that are very true. Rather than describing the difference I see with my new height with a thousand or so words, you can see for yourself how much of an impact CLL surgery has made in my life. Both the femur and tibia surgeries were performed by Dr Michael Assayag in Baltimore, Maryland (United States).
I also have an Introduction video on my YouTube channel that introduces myself and my YouTube channel.

Why the Height Journey Website
When I was preparing for femur leg lengthening surgery, I was quite discouraged to find out there were almost no helpful resources or support groups for CLL patients. Almost all CLL patients who have gone through it prefer to keep it a secret. I was fortunate to contact Victor Cyborg4Life back in 2020 to help me navigate through this large and complex field. Other than Victor Cyborg4Life, there really were no resources helpful for prospective CLL patients.
I received many inquiries from various people who are highly interested in CLL, upcoming CLL patients, or patients going through CLL since I started my blog and YouTube channel in 2021. I realized there is a great need and demand for more supportive services. Therefore, I have decided to offer more supportive services.
