Documentary with Marie Gdalevitch

Edit Post

Looks like LL is starting to blow up in Canada now.  I can't help but feel this will only have negative consequences as surgeons could capitalize on this exposure and raise their prices making LL even more unattainable for us who are serious about getting it done in the future.

Also the last 10 seconds was interesting; they were clearly talking about Stryde so I guess the new nail will still be titanium?  What are your guys' thoughts on this

I actually believe more exposure is for the better

All thats going to happen is people will talk about it more in a mocking way.  There is no way this surgery is ever going to gain acceptance.  Post Malone just did a commercial joking about it.

Think about more minor procedures like a nose job or breast implants.  Even those still have stigmas and they're super popular and have been around for a long time.  LL is another level.

And just fundamentally women have a double standard where they like to get all these procedures done basically completely changing they way they look over time, but then they want their men pure for judgment so they can pick a partner with perfect clarity.  Thats how they operate and its not going to change.  Men have the same judgement, its just that women are better at hiding it and men are oblivious.

this surgery could gain acceptance. its just going to be contentious as it already is. It would be like how trans surgery is viewed except viewed a little worse for reasons I cant quite figure out how to put into words

I agree.  It probably depends on how you define acceptance but there's a certain stigma that surrounds any kind of cosmetic procedure regardless of how intense it is.
 
For example when women get BBLs its generally not seen as a positive thing.  Most women aren't going to applaud another woman for getting a BBL.  If anything, it's perceived as more competition for the judging woman and they'll try to cope with it by saying a natural ass is better.  There's even a saying "built not bought" that surrounds this entire ordeal.

Not to mention you could literally see this all over instagram comments with guys ridiculing women for having a fake ass but ironically still being more attracted to them regardless lol.

Just look at this Reddit thread. You can see a definite pattern of people expressing their disfavour of BBLs similar to how people disfavour LL even though the comparison between the two isn't even close in terms of financial costs, healing time, and pain

None of these documentaries do any good for leg lengtheners. Can't imagine why anybody who does this would want to go public with it.

I think it is a good thing, as this eay more surgeons will feel conmfortable in offering it in first world countries thus might lower the price

I think when people hear about LL they think it's something people who are mentally ill do. Seeing examples of "normal" people doing it and understanding why can be helpful. Also, I think we, as a community, should give a lot of respect to these people who pave the way.

The question is... is height dysphoria a mental illness... or rational conclusion? initially I would say yeah anyone doing this is mentally ill including myself obviously.. but also there is plenty of data that confirms, as long as you are fine dealing with the pain and can be disciplined during the recovery, this is a very good choice to make as short person...

At some point though it does become a stupid thing to do but I cant say that point is really anywhere before 5'10 or 11
