How excited are you?

guys stop this,

no need for this.

3cm won't make any difference at any initial height.
Mirinheight, breaking your bones and giving 20k euros for nothing and feel excited about all these really questions your mental stability.
I am somehow excited too about my second LL but my gains from it will be really lifenchanging (1.74-5 to 1.81, not 1.79 to 1.82 which is a little above average to a little more above average) so I have real reasons to feel like that.
On the other hand, you don't.

I just think that if you were very affected by being shorter than your family that you would go for 5 cm at least. It does seem silly to be going for exactly 6 feet.

He's not a idiot like the Brazilian lunatic  It just seems that he is not thinking clearly how much he's gonna have to give and what he is gonna get in return.

I am doing 3-3.5 cm because I really don't want anyone to find out I did this surgery.

I plan on switching to vans/converse shoes from Nike Roshes after surgery in front of my family too so I can disguise my lengthening as much as possible.

I might tell them I recently went for a doctors checkup and found out i grew an inch or something like that.

Thats more believable than saying you grew 2 inches at 24 lol


furthermore, 5 cm is a longer recovery time and I won't have that much free time.

going from 5'10.5 to 6' is huge. I dont think you guys understand that. Thats going from top 40% to top 20% in male height in the US...

I am perfectly comfortable and willing to give up 20k for the surgery. I am perfectly mentally stable and will be attending medical school in the US in 2 years. Currently working as an MA alongside physicians in a hospital to save up money for this surgery.

All these from 40% to 20% are crap and only on your mind.
The reality is that 3cm does not make any real difference and as you said noone is going to see the difference.
So if you want to break your legs and pay 20k for only a statistic change then do it but in reality you won't gain anything from LL and you'll face serious risks from the surgery and have scars on your legs for nothing.

I already have scars on my legs. And I am going to get scar revision after ll surgery.
I have researched all complications and am going to a very respected ll surgeon and only lengthening 3-3.5 cm using an external fixator.
millions of kids are undergoing the same procedure for leg length discrepancies using an external fixator lol.
I know how to avoid complications such as DVT and compartment syndrome.
I know my chances of getting fat embolism are nill since there is no intramedullary reaming.

I know misalignments will be taken care of since I am using an external fixator with Dr. Pilli. Misalignments honestly should not even happen with such little lengthening. ATL will not be needed either.

I am young and in good physical condition. 179 cm and 180 pounds with 13-14% body fat
I am doing this for myself and I know 3-3.5 cm will change my life for the better. I wear nike roshes/shox (give 3 cm) everyday and wish I was that tall with no shoes on. I will gain a lot from this surgery, I know it

And I'll say for the last time as I am becoming boring, if you think that your life will change a lot with gaining 3cm then either you'll get disapponted when you see that noone will see any difference on your appearance or if you feel that it worth all the money and the pain then it was clearly on your mind.

So it is your choice, everything I write has to do with other future LL'ers who may think that these gains are worth it.
In reality nothing less than 2 inches worths it, anything less than that means that you don't really think that your height is a problem and you are going to break your bones and give a lit of money for something that you don't really believe you want.
