2. *Shin bone (tibia) lengthening*: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails.
3. *Height increase*: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health.

1. *Pre-surgical preparation*: 1-3 months
2. *Surgery and initial recovery*: 2-6 months
3. *Lengthening process*: 2-6 months (depending on the method used)
