When you did your cosmetic scar revision was it done all in one surgery for both legs?

Half the scars on each leg were done per surgery.

So for example the left half of the left leg in the first surgery then the right half of the left leg in the second? Was this due to not putting tension on all the scars at once?

How long between surgeries?

It was more spread out than doing one side and then the other of each leg.  Yes, you don't want the wounds pulling on each other.

I think you can do them 3-6 months apart.  I don't remember how long I waited.

I have lengthening in January.  We are the same starting height, im a tad over 5 foot 7. 

Im debating if I do 2 inches and maybe can keep it a complete secret including from family members.  Or do 3 inches and just have people find out.

Wondering on your perspective since you did 3 inches.  Would 5 foot 9 have cured your height issues?  Is 2 enough?  Or is being 5'10 worth the extra time, effort, and having pretty much no chance of keeping it a secret.  If everyone finds out in the end I might wish I just went for 5'10.

I think 5'9 would have been OK, and if I had it to do over again I'd only do 2 inches.  I was even considering that much in 2007, but what made me go for that extra inch was my 29" inseam.  32" is a commonly made size of pants so I went for it for the sake of fashion.

I'm not sure if 2 inches is below the threshold of being noticed.  Maybe some distant cousins you don't see very often might not think anything weird is going on, but your mom/dad/siblings/bff will definitely notice you're suddenly 2 inches taller.

Rather 2 inches because you didnt fully recover?  Was hoping to get away with it because I had a recent spine surgery and could use that as an excuse.

You'll never fully recover.  It's all a matter of degree.
