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.

This is what you call an amazing recovery!

It's hard to believe that this man went from 5'5 to 6'0.
