Hi

I am a 5’2 and a half woman from England uk and I have wanted this surgery for many years. I am researching Dr M and Paley in USA but recently the Paley technique has come to London “Taller” in Marylebone London, Dr Ian Bacarese-Hamilton does the technique in association with Dr Paley. I’m here to find out more about the surgery and read peoples experiences because I’m the uk society still lives in the dark ages thinking this is a horror surgery and I would like to speak to people who have actually done this. This surgery is near unknown in the uk, strangely, few people know it exists (there can be a lot of ignorance here for science etc) anyone here in the uk had this surgery? I’m even looking at wannabe taller in Istanbul Turkey.

I would love to gain 3 inches. That would take me to 5’5 and a half.
Anyone else noticed how differently you get treated for being shorter than others? Almost like a child in my experience. Zero respect. I’m fed up of always being the shortest person in the room and people putting me down. But I want to do this for me as I have never been happy with my height even when I was a child

Thanks and look forward to meeting you all, so excited to find this forum as likeninsaid the uk has a lack of information on real experiences

I wish you all the best with your journeys

A advert? Why would it be a advert? Who do you think I'm advertising? I’m not sure why you’re suspicious but I’ve had a lot of discrimination in the uk. I’ve tried that old chestnut, I’ve said “5’4 is the average height” to these people and they simply do not believe me. In fact my friends are 5’4 and they all call themselves midgets. I try telling them and other people who like to call me short or pat my head what the average height is but it’s pointless they won’t believe it. Besides, I’m below the average height so saying 5’4 does not help my case. You get a lot of judgemental people in the world so not sure why you don’t believe people can be. I’ve had it my whole life. I’ve been called “Napoleon” and a “dwarf” in a malicious manner. I’m not making things up for “advertising”’purposes, I’m here for the same reason as other people, interest and planning leg Lengthening surgery.

In your life you’ve obviously never seen short women being discriminated and just because it doesn’t happen in front of you/ doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Also men or women don’t want to be short.

Well you’re wrong it isn’t a advertisement. I’m here to gain information not to be told what people have said to me and treated me is in my head and it didn’t happen because someone saw some girls at university not experience it.
My discrimination is just as much discrimination as yours. It’s my reality and it’s one of those things I don’t like about being short. 
Put on a pedastal? I need to move to your area 😂

I’m here to get information so please only comment if you’re here’s to give me some not to act like my discrimation I’ve encountered doesn’t exist.
Is not “odd” for a shirt girl to get comments or have my experience. It happens all around the world. Some people will pick anything out to put people down. Hi not helpful information please.

I assume “the guy” you’re referring to is Dr Ian Bacarese-Hamilton Hamilton that you’ve assumed I’m advertising? Nope I’m not him nor do I work for him. I’m excited as the procedure is in the UK now and I’ve recently discovered his website which could mean I do not have to travel to the US to do this. I am only 2 hours away from London so this is good news for me. Logan of people are mentioning Dr’s names it doesn’t mean it’s an advert. Personally, I am happy there’s one in the uk, not  travelling countries is a good option for me.

I’ve already asked for a quote. And actually it’s not far off Paley. Pretty similar. All the quotes I’ve been given are pretty similar too. I might actually be better off going to London as travel expenses will be dramatically reduced.
None the less, he’s a doctor in LL so it really isn’t that bizarre and odd and weird and strange that he’s mentioned. I’m considering Paley, Dr Barasce Hamilton and Dr M. It would be good not to have to travel however as will make the experience easier for me. I haven’t chosen yet, I’m keeping my options open. I’ve only just discovered and joined this forum (and no that’s not suspicious either, I saw a fellow LL forum link on her Instagram to this -unicorn her name is) so I have no idea if that Dr has ever been mentioned before nor does it matter to me, he’s one of my options.

Thanks I will avoid Guitchard. I was actually considering him. Was it unicorn he crippled? She is how I find the forum I follow her on Instagram.

Thanks. I’ll consider it. Hamilton does use the Paley technique which is one of the things that drew me to him. Paley technique in London, i couldn’t believe my luck. But like you say he is new to it, so Paley would be more experienced.
Yes I think I’ll stay away from guildict. I saw unicorns photos on Instagram what he did to her leg. The clicker ran away!! 
I just want to be free from being short that’s all. I don’t like being “petite” or short.
Would be nice just to be average height or as tall as everyone else. I think my area seems to have a lot of tall people which doesn’t help. Because I’m mostly the shortest person, and I’m not very very short only, as you say 1.5 inches under average and I’m still the shortest. Which I admit is a little odd. But I just assumed British are getting taller and taller.
How tall are you? Have you had the surgery? If not who would you like to go to? Where do you live in the uk?

I’m south of England too! I’m in Dorset. Small world. That’s the problem is it’s too expensive 5’2.5 woman researching long wanted LL, UK based I’m tying to save but it a lot of money. Will probably take me a few years too. What’s Giotikas?
I know people often judge LL surgery but women will get their breast implants. Lips made bigger, etc etc and I don’t see how this is any different. Obviously it is more major but breast implants for example is also a major surgery, deaths do occur and complications.
Just need to win the lottery now!
