Hey everyone. I lengthened 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) and am now 5'9". I did my procedure at the Paley Institute in Florida with Precise 2. I will not reveal my personal information for obvious reasons but I will disclose some info.
I was fortunate enough to enter a high paying field in software engineering after leaving university with a Comp Sci degree. I was making $130K/yr at my former position. I was 26 when I had the surgery. I saved 50K and took out a loan to cover the rest. The only people I told were my parents and I had their blessing. I do not plan on telling anyone else. My friends think I got into a major car accident because I told them this when they saw me in crutches.
I am now a smidge under 5'9 and my life has changed completely for the better. I had the money, career, friends and was extroverted. I even had flings pre-surgery. But now, I have the respect from the first time I meet someone and most of the subtle social frustrations I experienced as a short man are now gone.
