Leg Lengthening
I had Leg Lengthening surgery and went from 5'6 to 5'9. AMA
post #1

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.

Hi,

 

I respect your decision but this was a very painful surgery.

I wish short men did not have to go through this.

I don't understand how this is any different than a woman unnecessarily having her chest split open to have plastic silicon bags thrown in and sewn up in the name of bigger boobs.
