Femurs too long - advice needed

Edit Post

After being obsessed with reaching my new height goal I totally missed something very obvious, my femurs are now much longer than my tibias which is a problem as I am keeping this procedure a secret from my family and friends, I'm pretty sure they will notice the difference right away when I sit down. I used to wear lifts so they never knew my actual height. I am considering reducing the length of my femurs, the only worry I have is that I stopped lengthening two weeks ago, I'm afraid that stretching then compressing might damage nerves etc. although my doctor says it shouldn't be a problem. Has anyone else reduced length after stopping for so long? Any advice would be much appreciated, I really don't know what to do here.

Almost 6cm

About 5'7. Not sure what exact ratio is but when I sit down my femurs are noticeably much longer, also my knees appear much closer to the ground when standing. I guess my main concern is causing potential nerve damage etc if I were to reduce length after stopping for two weeks.

Thanks Alchemist, appreciate the feedback. You're exactly right, I feel like I've suddenly traded off my height neurosis for a fear of what people will think if they find out. I don't really care about proportions if my legs were always this way, it's just the noticeable difference they are now. It would be constant ball busting from my friends if they found out, even if I denied it I'd be paranoid with them just staring at my legs, I wish I didn't give a sh#t but sadly I do, those mental games just bug me. I'm not sure what to do, I'm sort of considering reducing by 1cm and wear bigger soled shoes to make the femurs less obvious. I think my biggest fear at this point is potentially causing some sort of internal damage by compressing the nerves after stretching.

@Betz Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my femurs were longer than my tibias to begin with hence them being even more noticeable now after lengthening. I do agree with you, most people don't notice or even care about these things but my own situation is a little bit different, I have one or two friends who would definitely notice the length difference, and that would just open a can of worms for me.

@Alchemist  Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't read Meditations but I read a book about stoicism called The Obstacle is the Way in which it's mentioned. We do obsess over things that don't matter, although its tough sometimes not too 

I really appreciate all the feedback and advice. I'm on the fence about what to do. Everyone has their own reasons for doing this procedure, for me keeping it private is as important as the height gain itself. I would probably be willing to sacrifice 1cm if it might help in keeping things below the radar in terms of people getting suspicious. My only real worry is the possibility of causing some sort of nerve damage or whatever like I mentioned and although my doc says it won't I'm still a bit nervous about it as you never know with these things.
