Do you plan to keep this secret from everyone except parents or siblings?
What about girlfriends or future wife?
How do you explain scars? Can scars be remove through surgery?
What about your kids height? Wont you worry? If they are short, how will you explain it?
Thank you!
1. Won't be able to do this for a year or so anyway so probably start wearing high heels or lifts the whole time and then after surgery just wear flats. Not really gonna keep it a secret just not going to talk about it.
2. Already in a committed relationship so no problem regarding this.
3. Would be doing internal LL so hopefully scars are minimized. There are surgeries to remove external LL scars. There are also silicone pads, silicone gels, chemical peels etc to minimize scars.
4. Kids will have best nutrition possible. Tall parents can still have short kids and short parents can have tall kids. Explanation is Genetics.

I would caution you to not overdo it with the lifts and high heels if you plan on doing tibias..... you could be messing up your achilles and might affect your lengthening and recovery.
1) Only told one friend, and i regret it. Not planning on telling anyone else. But not a huge deal as I plan to coincide the surgery with moving to another city.
2) No way.. can't imagine anything good coming from telling your SO.
3) Ski accident (I ski a lot, so quite plausible to those who know me)
4) Ideally I'll utilize my additional height to marry a tall girl. If the kids come out short anyway, who is going to blame me? Don't see why this is a big concern.
5) We have to account for inflation here. The kid will be asking for at least $100k! But yeah, if I get it done I don't see any reason why I wouldn't let my kid get it done too.
I would do only 4cm which would be a significant change for me, where as others won't be able to make out where it's from actually. 171 to175 is pretty good for me

Now, that is cheating/lying and you could be even sued for it. 
I believe this should be kept a secret from anyone except, maybe, our parents. Given the nutrition in developed and developing countries these days, our kids should be taller than we are.
Yoga, pilates and straight back with this device http://www.uprightpose.com/ I got one, and its perfect to manaint the correct posture,
I will show them the device in my back, and I will talk to them about the important of a good posture of the back, and bla bla bla......

im also thinking about this amount.I believe it will be good for me.
i wouldnt tell anyone except my parents.
Why worrying alot about your kids?If you are not like over 40,then there are plenty of time for your future adult kid.Give him better nutrition.Dont let him ztay away from sports and if nothing goes wrong he/she should have a decent height.
But you cant change genetics afterall.
For scars question that is one of my reasons why i dont want external,ive seen some examples on some diaries.it is bad imo.
Hi everyone
Do you plan to keep this secret from everyone except parents or siblings?
Secret from everyone. I only plan on doing 4-6 cms so I think I can get away with it as long as I wear boat shoes and vans etc. for a few years after.
What about girlfriends or future wife?
See above

Not too worried about scars, I plan on doing femur lengthening and thus not a whole lot of people will see my thighs.
What about your kids height? Wont you worry? If they are short, how will you explain it?
I have the genetics of an average height person. So long as, if I have kids, the mother is a little tall and I get my kids to eat well then my sons should be in the 5'10 to 6' range.
Huh so much for not wanting to do it lol
To OP: I'm just gonna be upfront with my family and some of my friends. I really don't care what others would think about me getting this procedure. I won't be a blabber mouth and tell everyone about it, but I certainly don't want to keep it a secret from my loved ones (I've already told my father about it and he seemed concerned but understanding). In terms of my "soul mate" I'll be upfront a couple of months into the relationship. I certainly don't want to keep it a full secret, but I wouldn't want to tell her so upfront. Ohh, and when it comes to kids, I don't want any, but if I do then I'll make sure they are healthy throughout.
I wouldn't keep it a secret to anyone. In fact, I would entrust it to anyone really close to me. Even my future partner. If her response would be "Why did you do such an idiotic thing?", then she's probably the right one.
