Share Your Experience Of Hiding Your Limb Lengthening Surgery

Edit Post

Well, explaining that having bowed legs deformity causes you knee pain and can lead to arthritis later on so getting surgery to straighten them and getting some extra CMs as a side effect sounds pretty normal. It sounds like a necessary procedure for a better quality of life. People are a lot less likely to think twice about it as opposed to saying you had stunted growth and got limb lengthening.

I haven't told my family that I want leg lengthening, but my family would feel the same way. I have never complained about being short or indicated in any way that I hate my height, so if all of a sudden I brought this procedure, everybody I know would have a completely different view of me.

That is actually not what I had in mind. I plan on completely hiding the fact that I had the surgery, simply hiding the reason that I had the surgery is not enough. My medical condition caused me to be extremely short, so I do not think it would be unfathomable that the same medical condition is the cause of a massive growth spurt in my very early 20s.

Yeah, you have a plausible excuse because of your circumstance and your age.

If at last resort I'll tell everyone I did some ancient stretching techniques with an ancient tribe of monks in the mountains of Tibet. This actually wouldn't be that unbelievable given my past with traveling to exotic places. I almost want to try this to see how gullible people are haha

People will notice. If they don't, you did the surgery for nothing. Even after wearing 5 cm shoes + 1 cm insole, I look much taller after lengthening and my friends have told me that.

But do they know that you had the surgery, or did you have a good explanation for your height growth that allowed you to conceal the fact?

There will be people who notice and people who will not notice, depending on how much you lengthen.

The whole point of doing LL is to be noticeably taller than you were. Unless you live among the blind and daft, anyone will notice a significant height increase. If you aren't planning to have a significant height increase, why bother doing LL? You're welcome.
