I am 21, my beginning height was 145 cm and weight is 40 kg. Doctors who I consulted when I was 10 years old had the same answer about lack of growth hormone: “80% is genetic”. My mother’s height is 143 cm and father’s height is 160 cm. I want to confess: I was very angry with my parents inside. It wasn’t for genetic expression, but because they didn’t support me while I was searching ways how to grow taller.
Even the words “height”, “stature” were enough to disturb me, I was called “shorty” when I study in the first grade of primary school. So I was angry at my friends.
I used to live this life in such way. Mostly I was ashamed of myself. It’s terrible for a human being ashamed by his own self, is not it?
I was unconfident, but not bulky. I tried to increase my height with natural ways. I didn't get a good result, but at least I could say “I did all my best”.
Lengthening surgery was the last resort. I initially was hopeless about surgery, but on the occasion of a friend and his site, I had a hope. Then my uncle took me out of the impasse I was in, and thanks to him I had surgery on July 19, 2017 with dr Serkan Gurcan. After 4 days I began to walk with walker and on 7th day I walked unaided. I could walk unaided since my lengthening cought 4.5 cms, it was painful, hard period. I got an allergy. Then I began to walk with walker again. After 5 cm my heels didn't touch a ground, I walked on tiptoes (ballerina syndrome). Sometimes I felt numb in my legs. Totally my lengthening process took abt 4 months. Now I am trying to stretch my achilles tendon and manage of "ballerina syndrome".
My post-operative period was hard and pain was very sharp. But be sure that it wasn’t more painful than when I heard a person I loved with passion said behind me “Pity! This girl too short”. You can’t imagine my pain and psychological blow that I felt when I heard it.
I don't regret of having this surgery. Just think! If I haven’t the lengthening surgery, I’d be ashamed of myself for all my life. Now I am 81 mm taller and I am in consolidation process. I have forgotten all my painful story, even with only 1 cm that I gain. I was freed from the “diseased psychology”.
