Hey guys
New to this forum (didnt even realize old school forums like that still existed in this day and age). I did the magnetic rod OP on my tibias, past week. Despite what I read on this forum, I did made the decision to undergo LL in an impulsive manner. Hence, I still have some doubts. In the optimistic scenerio where I dont end up needing a wheelchair for the rest of my life, I would like to gain enough height to be considered average. Also, there still seems to be a big dispute on this forum, that have yet to be settled, namely, who should get to have the knowledge about the LL surgery in our lives.
First of all, I believe the LL will become mainstream within the following years. Mainstream enough, for people to notice. Second of all, I believe my closest ones will definitely notice if you go over few cms in height.
I did all I could to realistically keep it hidden, I did the shoes with extra padding my whole life, got some nice sneakers now, with no padding whatsoever. I also did the whole "depression" thing (which is true to certain extent), so I believe that any discrepancy in my usual behaviour (no meetings, phone only) should be better understood by my relatives.
Im still unsure whether I should do 4 or 5 cms. My original thought, was to get 3.5-4cms, as getting just a few cms would be much less taxing on my soft tissue and much easier to hide. If I start wearing short hair (rn I like to keep it classic, just pulling back my hair so that I get that extra 4-5cms visually), I believe it should be plenty enough to keep my appearance unchanged to an untrained eye. Even with 5 cms tibia gain.
Is my thinking reasonable? Be advised that I intend to keep it a secret for as long as Im unable to walk (how long would that be, about 4 months?), my close family will grow suspicious. As the last line of defense, I intend to make up an excuse for the OP, however I already see it as something that brings too much attention to the entire ordeal. Ive also been thinking about inviting my family over, a month from now, when hopefully I would be able to fake being able to walk well enough (crutches hidden under the bed ofc).
What do you guys think about that?
Yea, my initial height is 170 with a nice mobility, so that would give me a possibility of going for 5 cms. As for the insecurity, Im very accommodating about it. As with all complexes, you are not supposed to mention them or be hung up about them. That being said, if the topic comes about in a discussion, I dont shy away from it. I dont think that my family would be surprised in the slightest. What do you mean I wont be able to walk normally? As long as I wont have crutches on me and Im able to stand up on my own, that would be plenty for me. Sort of hoped for it to be less than 2 months.
Well, whats done is done, I went for the tibias. It was actually my doc who recommended that If Im going for a small raise, than the tibias would be more aesthetic. I was aware that doing the femurs would have been "easier", still I have trusted my doctor with the final decision.
As for the reasons why I do it, I want to become more attractive.
Confidence? Im not confident enough to tell it to anybody of my own volition, this procedure is extravagant, to say the least. That being said, if it ever comes to light, Ill be fine about it, it depends whether somebody will manage to catch my lies, and to what extent.
So yeah, I didnt go to Turkey nor India to do the surgery. I did it locally, a week ago, using precice rods, for better or worse, on tibias.
I hope you are right and Im mistaken about my beliefs of the LL going "mainstream". I did start to look for the scars on legs of other people, so far have not noticed any people that were suspicious, or had unusually long legs. And yes, it is my remote work that makes it possible, this surgery is available only to a handful of people. That being said, instagram is a hell of a tool for pushing various agendas. Going for 4 cms instead of lets say 10 in total, will be much easier to hide, should this procedure were to reach a wider audience any time soon. The question still stands, should it be 4 or 5 cms? Will there even be a noticeable difference between those 2 options?
I think Ill do just that, Ill try to make a decision once I get there. 4cms would be plenty enough for me, I dont want to get greedy. Im not sure If I want to proceed with doing the femurs. If I were to do the femurs as well, I will definitely have to come clean about LL surgery.
