Be proud of you, don't let other people say that. You got this surgery because you though that it would improve your live, so they must accept that. It's your life and your body, not theirs.

If your BF loves you, he will always support you.

Cosmetic surgery is good, it helps people to have the body that they want.

Most of them could be admiring tall people all the time, people who have this surgery done have their reasons.

2-3 inches is noticeable but you can hide it if you never mention this surger and meet no one during recovery I think

Without stryde I think its hard to do this alone though.

1 inch - you can hide it no problem

2 inches - you have a chance but people your height who are family members will probably notice especially your immediate parents

3 inches - no shot.  You are much taller.


I dont think people really understand how much difference 2 inches makes let alone 3.  With 3 inches youre basically looking over your former selfs head.

I gained 3 inches in height and several people made comment about it but most people don't notice it. I did not tell anyone about it and glad I kept it to myself.

Even your close relatives didnt notice?

What height did you start with and go to?

My closest relatives need to know for a particular reason, but rest dind't. I don't live in same country of them

I can tell 2 noticed that Im taller, I told was the shoes I was using

My friends who also didn't see me long time didn't notice. One after a time noticed, I also blamed the shoes. Others noticed something was different but couldnt tell why, asked me if I did fillers.

I think this is something you can hide, and you should as much as possible. People might find odd at first, but then will just get used to

It is not a known surgery, so for the moment people think its impossible, so they will accept whatever you blame as the reason you look taller

1 can turn into 2. 2 to 4, 4 to 8, and so on. you have the option of cutting ties if they continually bring it up and embarrass you. let them know beforehand you are uncomfortable with people knowing, they genuinely might not understand.

I knew people would talk, so I never told anyone. Whoever made a comment about it I would just deny and gaslight. No one I knew from before can prove that I did it

Also I moved after I did it and I have a mostly new circle of friends, so that helps. The only people who I still hang out with from before are cool (or self-aware) enough not to even bring it up.
