I live in a relatively small town, everyone here knows each other and everyone is acquainted. I tried to be a little optimistic hoping that maybe i can do this procedure without people finding out, even thought about doing only 5-7cm at most rather then more to see if its harder to notice. Ive came to the conclusion that with the amount of people i talk to and hang out with that i will never be able to hide it, which leads me to my question. Should i just be confident and open about this surgery to those who ask and will inevitably find out anyways? I feel like its easier to just say im doing cll because i only live once then trying to explain and justify it all at once when people see me again. This is something thats been on my mind for awhile, im not really bothered by what anyone says or thinks of me, afterall its my life and you only have one so why not optimize it? Id just like to have some recommendations cause its a bit confusing for me honestly.

Yes. People close to you will find out. Just be open. And if you can't live with that, then don't do it.

Picture these two scenarios...

One is where you tell the town about your Limb Lengthening journey. Now, everyone will remember you as "the guy that went and paid a lot of money to get taller". That stigma will follow you everywhere you go in life, even years down the road. People will remember. 10 years...20 years...the town will know you as the guy that got Limb Lengthening surgery. At family get togethers...holidays...it'll be brought up by somebody and they'll talk about it. They'll joke about it. They'll ask questions about it. But it will follow you!

The second is where you don't tell anyone about your Limb Lengthening journey. Most people won't say anything because they have nothing to say, but will acknowledge you're taller. Some people will say, "Wow, you're a lot taller now. What happened?", and you can just respond with a shrug and say that you don't know. You just "had a growth spurt or something", and leave it at that. Nobody is going to keep pressuring you about it, because what can they say?

Most people don't know about this procedure, and even if they did, just deny everything. If they ask if you had Limb Lengthening surgery, just act confused like you have no idea what that is. They can't see inside your mind and your memories, so eventually they'll just drop it and accept you for being taller.

I told close friends and family about the procedure. People were curious more than anything. But I live in a big city. Strangers and random people I date won’t know about this procedure. I’m guessing in a small town things are different

Most of people in my hometown are not well-informed, most of them don't even know what the growth plate is. My uncle even believe human can grow taller up to 30 yo. If I undergo this surgery one day and people notice that I become taller, I will distract them by answering "really?", I guess they won't go further.

Get more confidence so you can stop caring and thnking about what people in your town think about you. What does it matter what they think about you? If it's not for LL they will find another reason to either like / dislike you. Don't allow yourself to be there victim, and chance yourself based on others opinion about you, only weak people do and care about that. If you do LL your family will find out no matter what, unless you do a laughable amount like under 5 cm, and they will properly tell others. You can either be made fun of being short or having had LL done. I would personally choose the latter, cuz then you can at least beat haters up (joke - violence are for low iq's)

youre too hard on the guy, gotta proceed in baby steps with soy chuggers. like a first step in his case would be teaching him the difference between “probably” and “properly” as its been months now and he still uses the latter thinking it’s the former

I dont know where this confidence   came from, as in my OP i literally said that i WANT to tell people, but know that its probably not smart cause of how people view this procedure. I can agree with some of the things you said, but i still dont know how to go about this since there is no way i can gaslight people. People dont grow taller at 20, i have realistically no excuse that i could say that people would believe, leaving my only option to be open.
