    Hmm, uncertain how to respond. I didn’t face confidence issues previously. I was exceptionally short for an American male, making it challenging for people to take me seriously. However, I achieved significant professional and personal success. Instead of focusing on my height, I dedicated my time and effort to improving what I could control.

    Having learned about the procedure from an IG meme in October 2021, I spent around a month researching before travelling to meet Dr. Assayag and arranging surgery. I believe that the height increase will provide me with more opportunities in my professional and social life. The harsh reality is that being short can make some doors harder to open. It doesn’t make it impossible, just more challenging. The increase in height evens the playing field.

    I can provide a more comprehensive update on life after the surgery when I am 6-9 months post the next procedure. I anticipate I will have a better understanding next summer.

    Pain levels may differ among individuals; however, experiencing some form of discomfort is common. Typically, individuals undergo surgical pain during the initial 3 weeks, followed by a period of feeling better for the subsequent 3 weeks, and eventually experiencing tight muscles. In my case, I endured surgical pain for around a month before noticing tightness around 5 cm. The sensation worsened significantly at 7 cm, leading to intense tightness. Despite becoming accustomed to the pain, it remained persistent but manageable throughout the day. Sleeping at night was challenging without the use of sleep aids, although it gradually improved. Overall, this process was highly uncomfortable. Those unable to maintain their usual lifestyle for 3-5 months would likely find this procedure distressing.
