Something's on my mind that I hardly see any talk about.
Obviously most llers not showing off they had surgery and most keep it a secret, other than close people who obviously can tell the person has grown taller...
But the thing that bothers me is how does one live with himself, living this lie. I mean, let's say you meet a girl, she's very impressed by your height and appearance, wouldn't she be terrified to find out the length you went to improve your appearance? Plus, if women wish to have children, they'd like to know the real genetic potential of her spouse... So.. how do you carry yourself without feeling like a fake person?
This issue bothers me a lot. I wish I'd be taller on one hand, on the other hand I feel so bad and disappointed of myself I can't solve this difficulty in my life in a healthier way...
I keep thinking of an ex, she kept bringing me down because of my height, so today if I'm taller, she would be the last person in this world to be impressed, shed be much more impressed to see I can hold on to what I am and own my appearance with confidence and acceptance and joy.
Even writing this message here convinces me to stop lengthening and add just the minimal gain of 2 cm.. just so I won't have a lifetime of regret..
Oh well...

Brother, you have to be doing this for yourself first. We all have to be doing it for ourselves first. You are brave for making an attempt to fix something that isn't your fault in one of the most difficult ways. Good job champ! Please don't let anyone bring you down about it. Do it to your heart's content and if anyone finds out and they act a way, then that tells you what you need to know about them and how you have to deal with them going forward.

Please lengthen for yourself and not others. Love yourself because no one can do it like you can. Look at the lengths you are going. You got this bro. We all do!

Your height is not the height your children are going to have, if you marry a tall woman most likely your children will be tall. My dad is 165cm and my mom is 150cm meanwhile me and my brother are both 175cm flat without shoes.

Second point is, woman do put on makeup everyday + they do multiple surgeries to improve their appearance, so why wouldnt you do the same?

Women these days often get lots of things done. Filers, Botox, rhino, boobs, ...  They'll never tell you about anything. You are applying an unfair standard to yourself and LL.

We do not live in individual bubbles interacting with robots and AI (yet?).  So LL is definitely not about you.  You live with yourself the way the guy from Gattaca lived with himself: he upgraded himself to meet society's standards so he could get what he wanted from it.

You've already got the scars and can't get your money back, so you might as well continue.

Snap out of it. Being short is way worse and it's not even close.

You have a life's opportunity ahead.  Put your old life behind you, especially the exes.

I absolutely agree with you OP...

Unfortunately doing this surgery and hiding it basically fraud. Either you commit this fraud, OR don't hide it and lose many benefits of being artificially taller.

One new terrible part of this industry is how some cosmetic LL surgeons use euphemisms like "my patients do it for themselves", "my goal is to let my patients live live to their fullest", et cetera. You can see these in the cringey "LL documentaries" they participate in to get publicity. But every popular cosmetic LL  surgeon is doing it for the $$$$$.

This surgery is mostly about artificially outgrowing your fellow short brethren and increasing your relative status in society. Just like any other cosmetic surgery. PERIOD.*

* There are some exceptions however, where the patient is severely depressed and might kill himself if not for the surgery, but those are anomalies.

Amen brother. This one deserves to be framed up on a wall.

The only thing I would add is, those who haven't yet done the surgery, should really think about the "fraud" aspect of it and come to terms with it. Every time I hear euphemisms like "doing it for oneself" I lose some brain cells.

LL is different mate. Ask those who've got LL. It's the most brutal surgeries and recoveries out there.

What if your woman has also done LL? She is 5'3 and she looks petite and hot and you're super happy with her. Then you learn that she was just 5' to start with and got LL and hid that from you. How does that make you feel?
