About this episode

Leon "Le Tremba" shares his experience of gaining 20 cm through limb lengthening surgeries and discusses the challenges faced during recovery.

Leon "Le Tremba" is one of the most well-known limb lengthening patients online. He went from 5'7" to nearly 6'4" through two separate lengthening surgeries, gaining almost 20 cm total across his femurs and tibias.In this episode, Victor sits down with Leon alongside co-hosts Noah and Aaron — both past femur lengthening patients themselves — for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to lengthen this much. Leon is refreshingly honest about the mistakes he made, the parts that were harder than he expected, and what he would do differently. If you're researching limb lengthening — especially larger amounts — this is one of the most important conversations you can watch.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Intro - "I'll Never Be the Same Guy as Before" 05:14 Life Before Limb Lengthening 06:39 How Height Affected Leon Growing Up 08:00 Recovery Expectations vs. Reality 09:12 The Full Numbers: Femurs, Tibias, Total Gain 09:49 Choosing the Clinic and the LON Method 11:17 Why He Decided to Lengthen the Tibias Too 12:29 Lengthening Timelines and the "Duck Butt aka APT" Problem 13:35 The Mental Toll of Being in Fixators 15:16 Real…
