Looks good man, seriously.
You said you've been more social? Does that mean you've been on your feet standing around other men? If so, do you feel average?
Theuprising, there's a pic with me with my long ass legs in the before and after section. Purposefully shirtless so you can see the proportions. To be honest I think 10cm would have been enough, I have a huge collection of boots I will never wear again because the last thing I need is a heel on my shoes.
Midwest. When I go to the Physical Therapy office, and when taller family members visit, my height feels great. Even when I am taller than someone by a little bit I always tell them nah you're tripping, you're the same height as me, just in case they feel bad. I didn't do this to be taller than other people, I just did it to feel average and I think I have exceeded feeling average. Psychologically speaking, it's very freeing to not rely on your shoes or lifts for added height. I prefer flatter shoes now, because of my long legs, and i'm much more comfortable in my own skin, hanging out with people at my home.
My best friend will be visiting me today for the first time. He is a little under 5 10 so it will be great seeing him eye to eye; i'm sure we will both enjoy the moment as he was supportive of my operation from the start.
My parents are very proud of me and are excited every time I make progress; whether it be standing unassisted for the first time or taking individual steps with the walker. They have been my biggest supporters and you can really tell how much they love my new height.
You look very good, your proportions are perfect to me, in the future, build delt muscles
Maybe my question is stupid, but how was meeting your 5'10 friend? I guess that was really a "test" to see how much really you gained in height. How was it to be the same eye level as him?
You look good. Congratulations.
Honestly Iamready you look great. Totally natural and actually a very desired body type. Good job and it was amazing to follow your diary, cause like all the others this is probably bittersweet goodbye. You made it man 
Once again, I really appreciate the kind comments. Alu requested some business attire; this is the best I could do. I enjoy these photos because i'm also curious to see how I look in various outfits.
TIBIKE2000- My friend just left. I was just a bit taller than him. At this point i'm getting used to my height so I don't feel any different when I notice people are shorter. I just feel more comfortable altogether.
Thanks for the pictures mate. You look really good with those. Mainly because your body frame horizontally does a good job at making you look completely normal. Body to legs you look fine, even with my own reservations about doing that much.
I do have to ask, because I'm now noticing how important it is, but how do you feel about your arms? Again, these are my own personal reservations, but I am curious as to what your arm length/wingspan is? Just because that's the only thing noticeably "off" for me. And again, my own reservations, I don't mean to offend or have you spiral to another disorder, but it's just how I see things.
However, besides that you look good dude. If that was my end result I'd be happy none the less. Thanks for the diary again mate. Can't express how helpful this entire journey has been!
Congrats!
I've never measured my wingspan. About my arms, I knew from looking at the photo from Vetruvius- the other QL patient- that they would be a little off. Limb lengthening is not perfect and there will always be differences between a natural 5 10 and myself but ultimately I would rather be an average sized guy with shorter arms than a short guy. It's the trade off you make for the height that you gain.
to me with clothes on, he looks completely normal. Even the arm lengths...
