I had Leg Lengthening surgery and went from 5'6 to 5'9. AMA
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. AMA |

Have there been any advances in Leg Lengthening or Stem Cell Therapy?
I'm asking this out of curiosity. I used to follow the diaries of Leg Lengthening patients on a forum called "Make Me Taller". Some of these patients have now had their surgeries 15 years ago before it had entered mainstream consciousness. While LL isn't considered a socially acceptable surgery, enough of these operations are going on worldwide including here in the U.S. and some high profile magazines and news shows have done stories on it. There also used to be a blog called "Natural Height Growth" that tracked advances in post-puberty growth research but it has since been disbanded. Now that Leg Lengthening is almost 20 years old as an "acceptable" surgery (I know it started in the 50s) and there is so much competition, why hasn't the price come down and why have there been no ground breaking innovations as of late? |

I'm currently doing LL. Ask me anything!
I'm willing to answer any questions you have about LL. No questions involving personally revealing info please. I have a diary on LLF which has been detailing my journey so far. I started at a height of 5' 5.75" (167 cm) and am going for 8 cm. I should be almost 5' 9" at the end of my lengthening. I'm on day 49 post-OP and already feel much taller. |
