Because [[heightcel|shortcels]] can only add 2 to 3 inches to their height through wearing heels and hidden lifts, which is not enough to overcome their [[Subhumanity|subhumanity]], the only solution left is leg lengthening surgery. This surgery consists in breaking the tibia or femur and pulling the two broken parts apart with the help of metallic rods so the bone can reform in the empty space in between and produce a longer tibia or femur. The process of pulling the broken bone parts apart takes at least 1 or 2 months depending on the desired length with a progress of maximum 1mm a day. The process of healing takes a few months more. It is possible to add up to 4 inches (10cm) to the tibia or to the femur although most surgeons advice not to go past 2 inches (5cm). Both tibias and femurs can be lengthened although at different times. This is a dangerous surgery that can produce complications including the inability to run depending on how much the bones were lengthened. | Because [[heightcel|shortcels]] can only add 2 to 3 inches to their height through wearing heels and hidden lifts, which is not enough to overcome their [[Subhumanity|subhumanity]], the only solution left is leg lengthening surgery.
