This is something I thought about while staying in Dr Sarins guesthouse.

Can you imagine how many people who actually goes through this procedure?

Each year it must be several hundreds that does it and LL is STILL considered some kind of underground surgery.
There are many countries that we never get reports from such as Lebanon(Craig49 went there and got messed up), Iran, Israel, Denmark(Fitbone), Belgien(HLN), Armenia and so on.

I've seen all kinds of people doing this surgery. Smart people, incredibly stupid people, fat, skinny, fit, rich, poor, well educated, totally uneducated and so on. There are people from every kind that goes through with this.

I was amazed when I realized this.
The general opinion is still that this is something only Chinese people do or you'll be crippled for life.

Would you feel more comfortable of this surgery was just as accepted as a nose job?

I will never admit that I did this if I'm not at my death bed or something but could we ever make LL acceptable?
I think not.
Your family and perhaps some friends could accept you but you will never know what they're really thinking(even if that doesn't matter)

What if you did LL and came back to your old job and got totally humiliated when they find out? Everyone wants to be accepted in the group.

Personally I don't want this to be accepted as a nose job. It sort of takes away the mysterious around height(considered tall is superior and so on)

Tell me your thoughts about this.

Several thousand a year easily. Not sure about tens of thousands, but, perhaps.





LL will become mainstream as soon as a celebrity does it and is open about it. If tomorrow RDJ revealed he did it and is now 5'11 the whole world would know about it in days. It's already seen a huge increase in exposure in the last 2 years honestly.

I don't really think all that many have had cosmetic lengthening. I'd place it in the low thousands, and the number of successful cases even smaller than that. I doubt it will ever become mainstream like a nose job or a boob job. Even if a celebrity came out and said he got it, he would just be ridiculed. The media already frowns upon it, and with the majority of cosmetic lengthening patients so terrified of someone finding out they got the procedure, the possibility of cosmetic lengthening becoming popular or accepted as normal by the general populace is extremely minimal, imo . It's not like people are going to rush to get their legs broken. Limb lengthening getting "promoted" by certain people would probably just result in the practice getting banned entirely for cosmetic reasons if enough quacks cripple people around the world. It was almost banned entirely in China because of all the people that got operated on and subsequently crippled by doctors who didn't know what they were doing.

No, I'm stating what the "mystery" about being taller is.

It's tragic that there is so many that gets crippled from LL. Craig49 got totally messed up in both Lebanon and Armenia but he seemed fine when I met him in India. He did external tibs and external femurs, 6+6cm making him very proportionate.

He posted that video of him with the ball and he looked very agile and in control.

He said he lacks strength.  But otherwise he is perhaps the best I've seen recovered from surgery, even more so when you consider he was messed up first time around.

Are you still in touch with him?  A new update would be amazing if so!

His knees will be "where they should be".. But does he look proportionate with regards to torso length and sitting height?

In this world looks is everything. Everyone one of us are treated based on appearance. Its a sad reality but its true. And to some people taller is considered superior. Its very similar to racism. Where people  think that one race is more supereior than others. And it results in equality. In our culture we promote tallness and we punish shortness. We want perfection for ourselves and others. The idea of accepting people as they are..and no one is perfect has gone out of the window. We are aiming to promote a perfect groups of people.

CLL is not something that is extremely popular. I don't think that most people are interested in doing CLL especially if they are average to tall height. But I do think that there will be a rise in CLL amongst short men. Short men usually have a harder time when it comes to dating women. So I can see it being more popular amongst short men. Lots of people think CLL is cheating genetics. And frown upon it. I think its because CLL kinda even out the score. It gives people more opportunities in life, to be socially accepted and not be treated like an inferior human being. I do think overtime that CLl procedure will be perfected. And the barbaric ways of doing CLL will improve. I think that some genuise will use stem cells as a way  to grow boen length. And I see us heaing towards using science and technology to perfect ourselves. I think its a way to weed out ''bad genes.' And being short is seen as having ''bad genes.''
