It seems that some people may feel numbness or may not recover 100% even one year after the surgery. However, does any negative consequence caused by the surgery has any bad impact on your ability to focus on a cognitive task? Does the surgery cause any negative effect on your social life such as a conversation or a meeting?

I haven't noticed any effect.

I haven't noticed any effect.

The only reason I asked this question is that I'd feel a little difficult to work on cognitive tasks if my legs are feeling pain or numbness. But it sounds like the surgery hasn't caused any negative effect on your brain functions, conversation skills, and social life at all after one year you finished the surgery, correct?

If yes, then would you share some positive effects you had gained in social life from surgery?

Are you sure you wanna do the surgery?
At 169.5, that's almost equivalent to 5'7. People around you would think you are 5'7. You are not short, maybe below the average.

Yeah probably because 169.5cm is certainly below average. The average man in the U.S. is 175.4cm. I just don't like being "below average"

I heard the millennials in the US are nuch taller by average, like 178-180cm.

However, people who are older than 65 are around 170 in the US accordingly. Not sure if I'm correct.

May I know your age? You could possibly gain another 5cm if you are under 25.

I'm 30 year old.

The legs do not hurt constantly after LL.  Numbness only means you can't feel things touching your skin right at the small part of the leg where a nerve was damaged.  It's not like a whole lengthened leg gets "pins and needles."

So it sounds like that the surgery doesn’t really have anything negative for your social life/brain activities. Anything positive?

I heard that people who did it are more willing to talk to girls, because they are more confident that they can have a date with girls. Taller helps them a lot

However, I feel bad for people who did LL and did not reach their goals, because every surgery has risk, thus leading to 終身殘廢 may happen. I heard a guy who is 22 from China attempted to do LL, and he ended up in a wheelchair because the surgery had mistakes or something.
