The other "friends" i was talking about, they dont see me often enough to just instantly figure out what changed, more likely they will think "huh didnt that guy use to be smaller?" but they wont know how it happened or if they might have remembered my previous height wrong, since 4 cm is quite subtle change when people dont see you every day. They might think im wearing some different shoes or that they themselves where taller because they had shoes with lifts before when they saw me previously.

I doubt anyone will think i did some surgery, and if they would dare to bring it up, then i could just say bowleg correction or just deny it, its not impossible to grow a few cm before 25, even though its very uncommon.

Ahh you only did 4 cm? why?. They will not notice any difference for only 4 cm lol. thought we wore talking about 3 inches + footwear. You are 5'10 now right?

Yeah i did 4.3 cm to be exact, although it was 4.5 cm on my left leg to be exact because it was slightly shorter than my right leg before i did the surgery, so now that discrepancy is fixed as well.

I only wanted to be average height, because there are so many dudes this height, i know i can stand out positively for many other reasons now that im not shorter than average. Thats all i need, and lengthening less i will recover faster and have a much better chance for full recovery. Also i bio mechanically i will be closer to normal than anyone lengthening more will be, so thats another positive. Also proportions wise if i did more ut would make my tibias look to long i think.

And doing more cm with exfix only would take such a long time.

Im 5'10 now and it is all i need (178-179 fluctuating depending on if it is night or morning)

And btw believe me, 4 cm is noticable if you have 2 people standing next to each other with that height difference. this will make me be at eye level with many people i know.

But do you think you could have squeezed out 7.5 cm if you really wanted to like if you wanted you could have reached it.
Also are you feeling taller when barefoot ? confidence wise also how is it on your new height

Yeah definitely, i see no reason why i physically wouldnt have been able to do 7.5 cm since others where able to, and i didnt have any real complications. But it would have been more difficult for sure and not worth it. Proportion wise my legs wouldnt have looked as good either. And i doubt anyone who does over 6 cm will ever recover fully, and even if they technically do it wont feel anywhere near the same since the mehcanics have changed so much.

yeah of course feel taller barefoot as well, its awesome  and confidence is through the roof since i finally dont have any weaknesses left, nothing is lacking except more muscle mass (which is easily fixed)
