And even facecels have a lot less to worry about with plastic surgery. Your facial bones don't support your whole fucking body. The worst that can happen is that a shitty plastic surgeon makes you lose sensation in a part of your face, which - I agree - does suck a lot, but it's still not as bad as ending up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Also, in the case of LL, they might be able to claim that it happened because you didn't do the physical rehab correctly so that you have no right to sue them for ruining whatever was left of your life.

What I understand about leg lengthening surgery so far is...
The good:
- The cutting of the bone is the least problem; in fact, I've read many times that the properly healed bone is, counter-intuitively, even stronger than normal bone.
- Lifting (even deadlifting and squatting) after LLS is apparently easier to get back into than sprinting. And both are possible.
- If you're short only because your legs are too short, not because your whole body is small, then it makes a lot more sense for you to get LLS and the sooner you do it, the better, because you can avoid complications due to the shitty biomechanics you were born with. In that case it is said that the surgery is for the purpose of fixing a discrepancy (rather than for cosmetic purposes).
- The proportions can be messed up but it actually isn't too obvious, especially if you're fixing a discrepancy (overly short legs). You won't look like a clown on stilts. Also, I think slightly long legs are aesthetically pleasing.
- As I mentioned above, the bones are the least problem. This is because there's a much bigger problem - the muscles, tendons, and especially nerves, need to catch up with the bones. If they don't, RIP.
- If you want a cheaper/safer deal, you can wait for new techniques to emerge. However, I know that older bodies heal much more slowly so the younger, the better. So, you're stuck in a dilemma.
- This is just speculation on my part but if our genes are already shitty enough to lead us here, then I won't be surprised if they can also play a part in sabotaging the recovery process.
And the ugly:
- You need to stick to the rehab very strictly, otherwise you'll regret it.
- Not only rehabilitation is important, but also nutrition! If you don't have a good surplus of nutrients, especially the kind of proteins used to build soft tissue, you're fucked.
- The pain sucks, but it's nothing compared to what will happen if you mess up at the physical rehabilitation. Particularly, your range of motion can be messed up due to the tendons not growing well enough. This makes me think that as a result, the tendons and muscles become more likely to get torn while putting them under stress as well.
And then there are soydit dumbasses claiming BS like this:
A caloric deficit is the female equivalent to leg lengthening.
What is a caloric deficit: - Eating less calories than you consume (saves $$) What is leg lengthening: -Excruciatingly painful, 70-120k, cutting your legs apart and reattaching them to be a few inches taller.
