Hm.... wonder if you can wear boots or something else if the lifts are uncomfortable? I really am afraid that injuring the knee beforehand will cause more problems down the road
I’m in a sort of limbo interim probation phase since I just started work. Pay is low and funds are far from what I need for the procedure, though slowly accumulating. Furthermore I can’t really take leave or holidays yet and I live at home.
To be fully free and independent on all of these fronts won’t be until around end of 2022, after my probation period is over. By this time my finances will be in check, I will be allowed to travel freely for work or even take extended time off and hopefully have moved out of home. This is the clear and obvious opportune time to go for it.
That said, I small have a gap where I’ll be in France for work for around 2 months in June of this year. I’m thinking if I can get my bosses approval to extend this to 6 months then I’ll be in the go to fly to Greece and spend the 6 months there instead. I’ll be working remotely anyway. During this time I’ll do 3cm femurs.
The remaining 3cm tibias will be done once my probation period is over around end of 2022. The only reason for splitting it up like this is it will give me time to acquaint my family first with the 3cm taller me, then with the 6cm taller me. The plan otherwise would be to just do it all at end of 2022, needless to say though it would be a stressful return home 6cm taller all at once.
You can just say you corrected your posture or something.

Good day my fellow Mortal!
I spent some time thinking this out, the best which came to my mind is (for the lack of better term) Sampling, Gaslighting & Replacement.
Sampling
Start early, months or years before the surgery.
Keep exposing your environment to occasional height shifts (barefoot, lift shoes, airmax, skates, boots, you got the point).
Pay attention who notices the change.
Satisfy their curiosity by simple and self-explanatory "justifications" ("accidentlqy" expose tat your new sport shoes give you some extra inches, do not hide it, but never discuss it openly). Turn it into a joke if asked directly.
Gaslighting
Stress your peers with frequent and sudden height changes, which are alwyas "justified".
Get them used to it, so after some time even the most curious ones will no longer notice.
Could be even skateboard, anything to let them accept talking to your head up.
At this point, start using any form of elevator shoes on a daily basis, increase the lift progressively.
Replacement
After surgery, you will stand tall as usual, but this time on your own feet.
