Deciding on proportions

Edit Post

I didn't see the proportions section of the forum until now.

I am currently just under 68". I would like to add up to the maximum of 14.5 cm. This would make me just under 74" or 6'2".

My wingspan is currently 70" so I would be just under 4" shorter in arm length than height. I am currently 39" to the widest part of the pelvis and 21.25" knee height.

I am not worried about short arms as I don't think it would be noticeable, but I want to keep as normal proportions as possible between tibia and femur and upper body.

What is your suggestion of how much to add and where?

Couldn't upload, so here's a link.

1) I can only see one photo which doesn't show your full body or your legs properly.

2) 14.5 cm is  a lot of lengthening even on two segments.

3) 4" over your wingspan will be noticeable imo. You'll be good at 5'10" +. Save yourself the potential misery of bad proportions and don't go more than a couple of inches over your wingspan- say to 6'0" tops.

Can you suggest how much of that should be tibia versus femur?

It depends on what your bone length ratio already is. You can only tell that through scans.

You might be able to eye it a bit. My tibia seems to be pretty short so I think I'll be lengthening my tibia.

Most people have a naturally longer femur than tibia. An idea of what an average lengthening might look like is, say, 4 cm on your tibia and 6 on your femur.

There's a CLL doctor here in orlandoflorida. I will make an appointment and ask his opinion. I've been talking to a doctor in Vietnam and he says the proportions would be okay. But I'll get different opinions.

The CLL doctor in my home town only does a maximum of 4 inches total. And he wants $700 just for initial visit. That's too much for me to pay when I know I won't be using him anyway.

So did they ever come out with the data?

You can read the abstract here, but the event that the doctor is presenting in hasn't happened yet; in fact it's this week (March 15 & 16), so hopefully it'll be released soon after.
