If yo do femur lengthening and are on crutches and people see you, how do you explain? Do you say accident? What kind of accident would involve BOTH your femur bones to get broken (and nothing else).

Can anyone vividly describe such an accident?  Good CLL excuse

And are 6 or 7cm too noticeable? My shoes have given me 4cm extra height, so after LL if I start wearing thin flip flops even then I will appear 3-4 cm taller than pre surgery. Is this something people will observe?

Or is it worth completely restarting your life (job, friends, city etc) just to keep LL private?

Yes no one will ask in detail but some details they will ask for sure.  Probably easy to come up during lunch or coffee time.

I just want to know how other other LL patients dealt with this.
