Hello,

So I’m starting college in 1 month and currently my walk isnt the best since I just did the removal surgery and Im still recovering. (My walk was perfectly normal before the removal). Also, I have 2 dark lines on the side of my femurs, close to the knees and they are visible when I wear shorts. The lines being on my femurs and on both legs makes it hard to find a lie if ever someone asks me what happened to my legs. Of course I could just keep wearing pants but that still doesnt hide the fact that my walk isnt 100% normal at the moment and I currently cannot do sports( I used to play soccer). I would like to hear what ideas you guys have in mind and especially from people who actually did the surgery.

I have knock-knees/genu valgaum/x-legs. I used all 3 terms just in case someone doesn’t know one of them. But my family know I’m interested in straightening my legs. So when I do get surgery I’ll just tell them I’m taller because my legs got straightened. I’m straightening and lengthening at the same time. So it’s half true. The other part of the lie is They assuming I’m using a US doctor but I’m going to turkey. I started wearing lifts whenever I’m around them so they’d be used to seeing me a little taller. If all goes well I’ll be a little over 5’11. With a slight heel or sneakers I’ll be almost 6 ft. So I will claim 6ft on my drivers license.. lol. Currently 5’8.

Side note: My legs will be cut open either way because I really need to straighten my legs as they look terrible in the jeans I like and will cause knee arthritis if not addressed. So my thought is why not get taller while they are in there breaking bones. 2 birds, 1 stone.

How much did you gain from lengthening? Also what method? Congrats bro.
