Since middle school, I am shorter than my peers, which makes me low self-esteem. I found this surgery 8 years ago, and I've been keeping an eye on it ever since.
One of my friends did the lengthening in India and she had nonunion, the bone didn't regenerate. So she came to Dr. Lee to treat her complication because her friend had leg lengthening surgery with Dr. Lee very successfully.
After comparing the situation of various countries, I chose Dr. Lee, who is excellent in technology, professional and trustworthy. During my lengthening period, I was lucky to have very few pain but this is case by case. And I enjoyed being with the hospital staffs and other patients. Also, Korea society is merciful because a lot of Korean people helped me when i had some problems and needs.
It's a long journey and psychologically tough so it's important to be optimistic and passionate. I enjoyed sharing different cultures with the international patients here which make us to become good friends. Also, I had fun talking to my personal physical therapist Gyeongtaek everyday for 1 hour, we talked about a lot of things. 😆
I have lengthened 5.3 cm for the safety reason. I want to suggest that listening to doctor is important and exercise hard if you want to lengthen more. Through this experience, I have a richer and deeper understanding of the meaning of health and life. Thanks everyone.
