Hey bodybuilder, I'm around your height pre-lengthening (170cm). Did adding 8cm change your life drastically?
I added 7.5cm (from 1.685 to 1.76, both morning heights).
Yes dude, it changed a lot to how I perceive myself but also how others look at me.
Eventhough I am still about 1cm less than my country's average height for men, everyone see me as the big guy. I also present myself like that, as a macho man who fears almost nothing and who is not willing to tolerate anyones bs in any part of my life.
And believe it or not, I really am that kind of person now.

I've been through a lot to get that height, I also lived about 4 years with major kinetic problems (although not visible as my walking was normal but slower than normal) after my butchered atl surgery and after I fixed it and truly enjoyed my new height, I am really someone different as I have really tried very hard to reach that height, I try very hard everyday to have 46+cm arms amd a muscular body naturally, I try very hard to have a good style and grooming and generally speaking, I tried very hard to reach my maximum potential in terms of appearance and I am very proud of it.
That made me to respect myself a lot and feel ok with me and thats why I have courage in my life and I am not afraid anyone nor I compromise with things I don't like.
I would have never felt that way before LL, not only due to my initial height but because I wouldn't have been through all these which made me much stronger.

Thats why I am saying that LL is so lifechanging. 6-7cm will make a good difference about how others see you but the differerence in your inner self after all these is even bigger and that is even more important than these cms and other people can feel that change too.

Hi, came to to this post to see if Precice required a wheelchair at least for the first few months plus travel. Lots of thoughts, observations and various experiences written here but a little off-topic. So it seems that Precice does require a wheelchair for at least the first few months if you are over 150ibs weight, but you can use walker/crutches if under this weight but only by with some sort of hopping technique? Is that correct?

I think we have all gone through vastly different experiences in life, which shapes our perspectives on things. Personally, I don't have enough height dysphoria outside the context of dating to feel like it's worth getting CLL to address. Some of you may have though, and I'm very curious what experiences led you to feeling like you need to get CLL. Maybe I'm missing something or overlooked something.

In terms of my career I don't think my height has been a hindrance. It definitely has not been an issue in the context of making friends. Honestly, outside of dating the worst trigger for my height dysphoria is when I get my car back from the valet and they moved the driver's seat way back. This isn't something I would ever consider getting CLL for though. I thought that my thighs were short and stubby before I got CLL, but that's definitely not something I would have gotten CLL to fix. In social settings, among groups of guys I've never been treated worse for being short. I do feel a little height dysphoria if many of the guys in the group are tall, but that's because I feel some resentment due to my belief that they have an easier time with women given their height. Realistically it's most likely not true, but that's what triggers my height dysphoria.

In the context of dating though, my experience has been completely different. I didn't even know that being short was a bad thing until my first serious girlfriend dumped me for a tall guy and by then I was out of college already. I somehow managed to spend all of my youth not having any height dysphoria. However, once I started having height dysphoria, I noticed it in all of my interactions with women. I've hooked up with 100+ women and therefore have collected a lot of data regarding how someone of my height is treated in the dating world. Note that I tell women I'm 5'8"/172cm and wear lifts when going out so I can usually "pass" as 5'8"/172cm. Here are some of the examples of my height-related experiences interacting with women as a short guy.
  • Pretty much every girl I've dated who has had a taller ex (all of them) has compared their ex's height with mine and then called me short.
  • One girl I dated who was 5'2"/158cm told me that none of her ex's were under 5'11"/180cm and that she was willing to date a short guy like me because she was getting older and ready to settle down (she was 27.) She also claimed she was taller than me every time she wore heels even though she was clearly not! She also said she didn't think any girls taller than her would be willing to date me because anyone taller than her would make me look short and girls don't like having short boyfriends.
  • One girl I hooked up with who was only 5'1"/155cm randomly mentioned that her ex was 6'5"/195cm and played basketball in college while we were making out (wtf?) I'm sure she was just sh*t-testing me but when I asked her why she would point this out, and she said it was so I didn't feel like I was special. She was extremely hot, otherwise I would not have put up with her. She ghosted me two weeks after that anyway and I'm pretty sure the only reason we had a fling was because she wanted to try a muscular guy (I was in really good shape then.)
  • One ex-gf who was 5'4"/162cm gave me so much crap for being short. Every time she wore heels or even stood on her tippy toes, she would point out that she was taller than me and laugh at me when I tried to deny it. She would also constantly joke about having to "crouch down" when we took pictures together so it wouldn't look like she was dating a short guy. She also frequently mentioned how every single one of her ex's were taller than me.
  • Multiple girls have said something along the lines that they "did me a favor" after we hooked up because I am so short.
  • One girl I hooked up with (5'8"/173cm) said that she didn't mind short guys because she was "generous". Wtf does that even mean? Guess it's just another girl pointing out that I'm short!
  • One girl (5'5"/165cm) told me she was down to hookup whenever, but refused to ever be seen in public with me because I was too short. Like she literally would not even let me walk her down to my condo lobby in the morning. I was taller than her too...
  • After we hooked up, I was walking my dog with one girl (5'9"/175cm) but when she saw someone approaching down the sidewalk she took a few steps away from me. She told me she didn't want people to think that she was with a shorter guy. At least this one was actually taller than me...
  • One girl I met for a first date (5'5"/166cm) kept saying that she was taller than me, even though we were both wearing flat shoes and I was definitely taller than her. I still managed to hook up with her, but she was one of those girls who like to list off the heights of her ex's and compare me to them. She even had the gall to claim that a 5'10"/178cm guy was tall. Okay...
  • This one isn't directly related to height, but I took one girl (5'4"/163cm) on an ice skating date and she didn't want to hold hands because "my arms were too short" and she felt like she was going to crash into me. My arms might be short, but they're still longer than hers... I was so mad that I actually left without giving her a ride home >:(
  • One female friend (5'7"/170cm) who openly had a crush on me (not mutual) eventually settled down with a tall guy and one time she was drunk and told me that my only weakness was that I was short and the reason she married a tall guy was so she had something to feel superior about (ugh)
  • One girl (5'5"/165cm) I hooked up with had an ex on the periphery of our circle of friends. This guy was barely 5'10" and much worse than me in every other aspect, but when we were randomly talking about other stuff out of nowhere she randomly pointed out that he was taller than me.
  • One ex-gf I literally hadn't talked to in years randomly messaged me to say hi. She told me that she got a new puppy and also casually mentioned that her current boyfriend is 6'3"/190cm.
  • One of my other ex-gfs (5'3"/160cm) had a close friend (while we were dating) who was dating multiple guys at once. This girl was obsessed with height and literally ranked the guys she was dating by their height and income to make her final decision on which one to keep. She frequently told my ex-gf to dump me because I was too short.
  • One girl (5'4"/162cm) I dated for about three months seemed perfectly normal and never mentioned my height even once. I thought she was one of the good ones, but after we broke up I started dating her friend and she started talking sh*t about me to her friend including telling her that I had "inferior genetics" because I was so short. She also sent me a ton of crap about her friend to try and break us up :P

I could probably keep going for a while if I spent more time down walking down memory lane. Honestly some of these girls I don't even remember anything about aside from when they gave me crap about my height. Don't even get me started with online interactions and height... I'm sure many of you here have had similar experiences, but if you have had as many of these negative experiences as I have, then you would want to get CLL as well. All of these girls are attractive and have decent personalities, and 95% of my interactions with them were positive. However, the second that the topic of height comes up, all of them instantly become brutal and condescending. It's such BS that it's completely normal for girls of any height to disrespect short guys and we're expected to just take it because "hey, I'm just stating a fact. You're short!" Maybe these girls can sense that I have height dysphoria and use it against me. Regardless, my height dysphoria in the context of dating gets triggered so much that I did CLL just so I can reduce the number of times I have to deal with this kind of heightism. I really hope at 177cm it will drop down to zero; then I'll never have to think about height again. I feel like even the girls who claim they don't "care about height" constantly bring it up and use it to make me feel bad, which is why I think getting CLL is so important for dating while simultaneously believing that it's super easy to get girls (at least as a fake 5'8".)

So yeah, hopefully some of you can see how my experiences drove me to get CLL for the purposes of dating. Maybe I have bad luck or I'm just good at attracting female a*sholes, but truly I believe getting CLL should help a ton with reducing the negative experiences I have dating as a short guy. I hope some of you can share what drove you to get CLL outside the context of dating because I really can't picture it on my own. If I had found a woman worth marrying and settled down before last year, I would never ever have done CLL.

you have had an interest in women who are so particular about height. ur into that demographic. And after that you decide to do leg length surgry to improve urself. But your not proud of it and want to hide it (like most). so you will go back to one of those ladies and they will like you for your height among other things. but they do not know about leg length surgery.

do you see the stark contrast. the same type of ladies who would stand away from u to not be associated with a short guy now like you bcoz your not short. but that happened bcoz of leg lengt hsurgery which they do NOT know about.

Do you REALLY think its possible to keep this a life long secret? like can you imagine being married to someone like that for 20 years all along knowing that if she found out she would leave u right away? And its not some fbi classified document. a whole bunch of people have interacted with you during your procedure. if the internet did not exist you could have moved away from las vegas and wished to never receieve a letter about this. But the internet dude. Its like your right next to the whole world.

I only mean to make you  think this through friend.

Generally speaking, precise 2 in not fully weight bearing and.you risk big chances to break it even if you are less than 150lbs.

So you just need to be in the wheelchair for a few months (lengthening phase and about 1-2 months of consolidation phase). Hoping and all these things are really dangerous.
If you really need to walk then go for external tibias.
you have had an interest in women who are so particular about height. ur into that demographic. And after that you decide to do leg length surgry to improve urself. But your not proud of it and want to hide it (like most). so you will go back to one of those ladies and they will like you for your height among other things. but they do not know about leg length surgery.

Personally, except from my parents, the gf I had back then and my deceased grandpa and grandma, noone knows about my LL and noone will never know about it, even my future wife.
Every other person that knew me even before LL know that I had a bike accident and never thought twice about it.

So you can keep it completely confidential if you want, especially with internals only, I kept it even with external monorais in my legs for 10 months!

Yeah, I guess in a way you could say it's my fault, but I can't choose who I'm attracted to. I only find skinny girls in their early 20's attractive and they are pretty much all height queens. Of course, the severity of their height preferences still falls within a range. The topic of height was only a small part of my interactions with these girls even at 169cm. Most of the time it doesn't come up because it's really not that big of a part of daily life. It's only because I have height dysphoria that it even bothers me when it does come up. I'm sure at 177cm I can find a girl that won't care about my height at all and then I don't have to ever think about height or have any of these types of interactions again.

Based on other posters on here who finished lengthening long ago, after getting CLL you will eventually internalize your height. You'll feel like you were always 8cm taller and you'll forget about being short. Your legs will recover and your scars will fade and you won't be reminded that you had surgery before. There won't be any novelty in having a taller perspective because you'll be used to it and at that point you'll just be a taller guy both physically and mentally. Most of the people who reach this point have long since moved on from this forum and I bet they never think about height or LL in their daily lives. It's not hard to keep the procedure a secret. I haven't interacted with anyone that I know well since I had the procedure and I don't plan to until my gait is normal. HIPAA laws prevent any medical professionals from revealing your medical history. Scars from internals aren't that big and will fade away over time. Once the rods are out and the thicker bones shrink back to normal even an X-ray won't reveal that you had the surgery. I fail to see how anyone would find out if I didn't tell them.

I mean, think about it this way. I've dated enough girls that I've encountered more than one set of breast implants. They certainly don't feel as good as the real thing, but it's definitely better than being flat (especially if the surgeon is good) which is kind of the female equivalent of being short. If women could get breast implants that felt 100% natural and were imperceivable to men I bet many more would get them and I don't think any guys would be complaining whether the girl had real ones or not. In fact, a lot of guys don't mind breast implants at all even if they know the girl has them.

I believe you're thinking way too much into this.

Never heard of such incidents in Europe especially while in a relationship. Over here girls can often reject a guy for the height but they wont down right insult them and say it to their face, they will politely decline. You should have told that girl your ex had a nicer rack or something and observed the reaction haha.
Yeah, European girls are probably nicer about height than American ones. I can't really see myself living in Europe though. I would consider Asia if I can get one of those cushy expat jobs, but over there they might even be more picky about height than here ::)

Damn! You definitely seem to have run into a bevy of shallow, caddy b*itches it would seem.  I totally agree that we are all, as they say, prisoners of our own experiences and I totally respect that and accept that everyone who does CLL has reasons that are significant enough for them and that aren’t the same reasons that I would want to undergo CLL.  Anyways, I found your post to be very thought provoking and informative.  At the end of the day, I think everyone who goes through the CLL journey (and I am not in that category - yet), does it, and should do it, for their own reasons and not for anyone else.  I myself have been very lucky - on most fronts.  I have a spouse who I have been married to for a long time; I have 2 wonderful children, a fantastic job, most everything I want, but still want to undertake the CLL journey for my own reasons.  At its essence, perhaps some could just chalk it up to greed and I suppose I could see that misperception.  After all, I am 5’7” (171.5 cm morning height) and that is comparatively lucky in the height department as opposed to others.  Yet, I still want to go through with CLL - but just for myself and to take it to the next level on all other fronts.  Could I live without it and have a very fine life?  Absolutely.  But, could I do it and find that my new height (179 cm hopefully) eliminates my height dysphoria altogether - forever - and I never have to measure myself both figuratively and literally every day for the rest of my life?  Absolutely!  So, maybe everyone has different experiences and thinks of primary motivators that are different, but at some level the primary motivator and take away perspective seems to be similar if not the same:  self improvement and making the impossible now possible.  Thanks for the thought provoking posts. 
I agree that once you have height dysphoria it would be difficult for it to go away no matter how content you were in other areas of your life, especially once you know CLL is possible. It really is a Pandora's Box in this aspect. I personally don't think my height dysphoria was bad enough outside of dating to get CLL for, so if I had gotten married I should have been able to convince myself not to get CLL and then slowly forgotten about my dysphoria. I believe this because whenever I was in a long term relationship I would not think about CLL very much. Since first learning about CLL there have been periods of years where I wouldn't even come to this forum. It's when I'm single and interacting with a ton of girls that my height moves to the forefront of my mind because I have to deal with it more frequently.

what do you think would happen if your secret got leaked some how? its always a risk reward trade off. pls tell me what the risk is. uve explained the reward of privacy and living like a naturally tall man. but whats the risk? I think the risk can be very high. You might develop medical problems later like arthritis. So when you visit your knee replacement doctor you will obviously take your wife with you. he will project the xray on the screen and explain. Even if your bone is remodelled to normalcy a surgeon would be able to tell that something is different. He can see your scars your screw holes. A surgeon can damn well tell. So he will ask you about this in front of your wife. Will you send your wife outside at this time? Or will you get your knee replacement done without your wife's knowledge? And even normal people get their kness replaced so dont tell me youve recovered fully so you wont need it.

Do you see my point? The secret can come out when you least expect it. I just thought of ONE random example here.

if this happens how will it affect you?

No, I don't see your point. Again, you're thinking way too much into this. Tons of people on here (and tons of people outside the forum) have done this surgery without telling a soul. Has anyone come back here years later to complain that they got outed? I haven't seen a single case.

It's not difficult at all to hide this surgery. If you think it is, then I would imagine that you are not a very good at thinking outside the box. What you consider as "obvious" clearly isn't. Why would I need to bring my wife to the doctor with me? I'd just schedule it for when she was busy.

Also, why would I even worry about the consequences of something so unlikely to happen? I don't waste my time worrying about what would happen afterwards if a plane engine fell on my house. If it happens I'll deal with the fallout at that time. Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen anyway? I really can't think of anything that bad.

I dont expect forum members to come back years after their surgery to explain that they got caught. Most people are very uncomfortable talking about these things.. . heck most people dont even write about recovery after many years

plenty of people dont keep this 100% secret. so you cant expect anything from them. and plenty are already married when they do it (bcoz you need $$$ for this and people reach that in their 30s and 40s)

ok if you think the consequences will NOT be bad then no need to worry. I just felt like since your  and body builder's dating was extremely superficial to begin with, your new height is what your wife thinks of you. Its not like you met her in a health camp immunising poor children in haiti and you liked each other because your purpose in life overlaps and like how your both benevolent and kind hearted. In that case, the height thing would be less important..

anyway my man, everybodys different, and many people dont see marriage as some final spiritual thing. divorces are common here (not related the leg length surgery but even otherwise). maybe there are plenty of ladies out there who wouldnt give a fk about this surgery many years after marriage when the physical attraction has melted off..

people cheat on eachother and thats 100x worse than hiding this.

so ya man, thanks for the chat, just my honest thoughts man to man.

No, I don't see your point. Again, you're thinking way too much into this. Tons of people on here (and tons of people outside the forum) have done this surgery without telling a soul. Has anyone come back here years later to complain that they got outed? I haven't seen a single case.

It's not difficult at all to hide this surgery. If you think it is, then I would imagine that you are not a very good at thinking outside the box. What you consider as "obvious" clearly isn't. Why would I need to bring my wife to the doctor with me? I'd just schedule it for when she was busy.

Also, why would I even worry about the consequences of something so unlikely to happen? I don't waste my time worrying about what would happen afterwards if a plane engine fell on my house. If it happens I'll deal with the fallout at that time. Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen anyway? I really can't think of anything that bad.
I agree with this, most people don't even know what LL is. I only discovered it myself after spending a ton of time researching on how to grow taller because I am short. People who are average or tall are most likely not going to be aware of this, as they probably won't be actively looking for methods to get taller. This surgery still isn't mainstream, and is just now starting to get some publicity do to Doctors like Debiparshad. This is good for the doctors since they will get more customers, but bad for us people who want to have the surgery as it will become more obvious to people.

your then gf knows about it. and you believe it will be 100% confidential all your life?
Yes. Because a girl I was in relationship before 10 years (and haven't seen for 8+ years) knows I did LL, how in the hell anyone else would know it?

Still, noone knows it except. from my parents. So it is confidential and will stay forever, simple as that.

Sorry but you seem like a paranoid.
Even if someome learn that you didi it it is not the end.of the world. But it is almost impossible except lets say you do 2 LLs from 7-8cm each one and you become insanely taller than before.
Then yes it would be hard to hide it but if you are healthy and without kimetic problems, most will envy you for being much better without any real problems.

I am planning to keep my LL confidential and not telling anyone about it. Couple of my friends made a comment once that I looked taller and did not mention anything after that first comment. No one really knows about LL . There are very few brave enough individuals to research and move forward with this life changing journey.  There is no reason for anyone to know about it. The scars will fade with time and I am sure that I will not be thinking about it in the next couple of years.

Titanium-based Precice 2 intramedullary nails are unable to support an adult patient's complete body weight. when you read here you will know, patients have moved around in a wheelchair or mobility scooter during the lengthening phase and until a sufficient bone union has been accomplished.
