Our legs are made up of three long bones \u2014 the femur (or thigh bone), tibia (or shin bone) and fibula. On both ends of each one of them, there are growth plates that are responsible for the creation of new bone tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The growth plates close after puberty, which brings the lengthening of the legs to an end. It can be very frustrating for those growth plates to stop working while the legs are still short. That’s because it means that the legs will be short forever. Fortunately, there are many steps that may be taken to make the legs longer after puberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how can you get longer legs after puberty? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are various ways to lengthen the legs after the growth plates have closed. Microfractures may be made to stimulate new bone tissue growth. Pressure in the leg joints may be relieved to let the cartilages expand. The illusion of having longer legs may be created, which can be done in many different ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter where on the planet your legs may take you, one thing stays true: having long legs is a huge advantage. As a matter of fact, a study that involved more than 200 men and women found out that people whose legs are about 5% longer than average are regarded as more attractive than the rest, so it does make sense to get longer legs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no need for you to be as tall as a supermodel to be considered as physically desirable. In many instances, having long legs (and showing them off, too) can make you instantly go from uninteresting to striking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are past your puberty and you are not happy with the length of your legs, read on. Below are some of the ways to make your legs longer, even if your growth plates are already closed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Limb lengthening surgery \u2014 this is the name of the surgical procedure that you may undergo if you want to get longer legs after puberty. It’s also called cosmetic height surgery or stature lengthening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was back in the 1950s in Russia when limb lengthening was invented. Although many people pay for it to grow taller, the surgery was originally intended for correcting the length of the legs. From then until today, it is performed on individuals with limb length discrepancies due to congenital disability, disease, or badly healed fracture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The treatment is a complex solution to make uneven legs have equal lengths. It involves surgically cutting the leg bone, usually the femur or thigh bone, in half and then gradually pulling it apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Limb lengthening surgery is so gradual<\/a> that each adjustment should not create a gap that’s over a millimeter per day \u2014 the adjustment is usually made 4 times a day, each gap measuring 1\/4 of a millimeter. The goal is to allow bone tissue to grow in the gap, thus healing the surgical cut. It can take several months to complete the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While effective, the problem with limb lengthening surgery is that it’s so expensive. Just like other surgical treatments, it comes with risks and complications. What’s more, you will not be allowed to put any weight on your legs for a few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For about 6 to 8 months after the surgery, you will have to use a walker or crutches. You will also have to go through physical therapy for several weeks to learn how to walk properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fret not if you don’t have the money and the guts to undergo limb lengthening surgery to make your legs longer after puberty. There is a way to mimic the effect of the said treatment but without involving a scalpel. It’s a two-part process that entails working out intensely and then using a device called an inversion table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s discuss the first part, which is creating micro-fractures in the bones. Just like what the name suggests, microfractures are tiny breaks in the bones. Creating them encourages new bone tissue to fill the gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working out is what you need to do to create microfractures in your leg bones. However, not every exercise can provide the necessary effect \u2014 high-impact exercises are the right ones for the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some very good examples include running, sprinting, and jumping. It’s also important that you engage in high-impact exercises for several minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second part of this particular way to lengthen your legs after puberty is using an inversion table<\/a>. Designed to help reduce back pain as well as treat certain problems concerning the spine, an inversion table helps to enhance microfractures in your bones, thus lengthening the legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your body will try to heal those microfractures by promoting the growth of new bone tissue. By the way, using the device also helps to lengthen the spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t have the budget for an inversion table, worry not. That’s because you may simply get your hands on a pair of ankle weights. After participating in high-impact exercises, you should wear ankle weights while sitting on a chair or surface high enough to keep your feet from touching the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUndergo the Surgery and Make Some Sacrifices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
