Title: To those that did CLL - is your new height noticeable for other people?
Post by: justaveragedude on May 05, 2023, 11:14:24 AM: So kind of basic question, but to all those that did Cosmetic Limb Lenghtening, did your relatives, good friends noticed straight away that you are in fact taller? What do you say to someone who may have commented that to you or straight asked you about it? I wish to do it for myself, but have no idea if telling someone beforehand is good or no.

I'm only 178 right now and it's very noticiable.

I'm being pedantic but your diary says you started at 178cm - did your doctor re-measure you?

I measured anywhere from 178 to slightly over 179, mostly depending on different stadiometers. My primary care doc always had me at 179 or thereabouts. For 15 years now. Dr. Paley measured me at 178.5 five years ago. Dr. Rozbruch measured me at 178 in his office. My pre-surgery appointment was 178.6, a block down from Dr. Rozbruch's office in HSS :). Hope that helps.

Post by: junior006 on May 06, 2023, 09:44:41 AM: 5cm+ absolutely. patients lengthening quadrilateral 10-14cm feel like they're breathing from a different atmosphere. if you go thru this journey people better notice

Post by: lessthanavg8300 on May 06, 2023, 09:00:37 PM: Its undeniable once you get past 2 inches of height gain (to your close family maybe its more like 1.5 inches). You look completely different.
