Quote from: ferniebritishcolumbia on December 11, 2020, 03:06:01 AMYou’ve got such a YOLO attitude. It stands out on this forum where every1 is so tepid.
1. What the scars like? Very curious particularly since you have quite fair skin. Could post a photo?
2. how’d you lengthen under your friends eyes in the London segment? How does that work? What were your excuses to family and friends. I’m sure they will notice you 8cm taller.
3. Any mental health implications you fear down the line? It’s quite a fkin frankenstein-ish thing to do. Do u think it’ll damage your deep rooted self image?
1. Posted. As you can see not great, but not my main focus right now as not noticeable in day-to-day. Main focus is to walk normally again
2. I've told every single person that I met. Pretty much all of them were happy for me and a lot that were on the shorter side (especially the ones who used to be taller than me) questioned me to the point I suspected they wanted to do it as well.
To be honest, I have found it a little strange that people here want to hide it from their friends because to me (and based on the responses I got), there was nothing embarrassing about it.
To me, the much bigger embarrassment would be to sit my whole life dissatisfied with myself when there is something that I know I can do to fix that issue.
The people who didn't know me well complimented me for doing something so drastic, while the people who knew my personality type already knew that I was the type to chase after something if I want it.
The exception to this is my parents who I haven't told because they are worrywarts and they don't live in the same country as me. I'll tell them in person next time I see them.
3. No, on the contrary, it's actually really improved my self-esteem. To give you an example, I saw a friend last weekend who I hadn't seen since pre-surgery. I was now taller than him. He recognised it at once (first thing he said was "are you wearing stilts") and then was in shock all night. He kept explaining how shocked he was to another guy who used to be my old height. Looking at the other guy, I remember just thinking "Damn, he is short. Is this how I looked before?"
Most importantly, I never have to worry about a girl being taller than me, whereas previously there was maybe ~10-20% of girls who were my height or taller. I can't explain the relief I get out of that.
Femurs stryde with Giotikas (July 2020)
Thanks. What are some things you wish you knew about Athens and what to bring with you?
you said the wide legs problem got better after distraction, is that completely back to normal now? what did you do in particular to fix that issue in particular, like was it hard physio or did it just resolve naturally? thanks
Well said. Totally makes sense.
Are those scars you see in the photo the only ones? Or are there others?
Can’t believe you told your friends. Honest question: if I want to get 5cm femur lengthening do you think I could fly to another country, do it all and return to my life (however many months later) without it being noticeable? For some reason this point about LL bothers me. I want close to 0 chan of any one picking up on it. Do you think it would be possible? Bare in mind I only want 5cm

Yes. I don’t have wide legs anymore. But my gaits not back to normal yet. Still waddling.
I didn’t really do much on the wide legs, think it was just natural.

Not really anything to bring but I found Athens very boring as a city. You have to really like history. The food on the Ubereats equivalents also really sucked. I basically ate kebabs breakfast lunch dinner for 2 months cos I’m not a cooker.

These scars are the only ones on one leg. I’ve got the same scars on the other leg.
I think it is possible for most people. Most of my friends in London when they first saw me just kept commenting that I looked thinner (before I told them). Keep in mind though I hadn’t seen them in 3 years.
The exception are close friends who were about your height. They will probably notice it. Might be able to use shoes as an excuse.
i see my father every day who is my same height. just wondering if i can squeak in 5cm without him noticing.
how much did it cost you all up? surgery, airfare, accommodation, etc? how much cheaper is it than paley for taking the risk of going to Greece?
if you had the time and money would you ever have considered splitting the amount you lengthened up between femurs and tibias, half half? might have been better for proportions if you were really seeking aesthetic perfection. plus if its split between two its harder to pick up on, 3 cm on each and you probably look exactly the same.
do you personally know of anyone who got it done apart from the people you met at the clinic? apparently its more popular than people think and in actuality, celebrities, politicians, models and half your co workers probably have it.
