Paley -Option 5

Edit Post

I’ve seen on Paley’s website the option 5 which is femur stryde, 3 weeks later tibia stryde and max out at 4cm for both, so 8 cm total gain. Then a year later rebreak those bones and with the same nails extend them another 4cm, so a total of 16cm. This seems like a good idea, since 4cm for each is easily achievable, and doing it twice after a year of healing is enough time. What do y’all think? Definitely considering this option. How would proportions look, I assume absolutely terrible but not sure.

Any other opinions or thoughts? Thanks

Yeah 16 cm would look rather strange, and I think Paley does this because to do 8 cm for tibias u have to wait muchhhh longer. I’m considering option 3 which is a max of 10cm or 4 inches, I’m 5’9 so this would put me at 6’1. My wingspan however is about 5’9 so idk if I should lengthen but if I’m only doing 2 on femurs and 2 on tibias I don’t think I’d need to, lemme know what y’all think.

Who is the ufc fighter? Also, Paley does humerus for 2 inches so I’d be fine idc about arm proportions and it’s less noticeable than arms to legs proportions (that is according to Paley himself)

Yeah it was a virtual consultation. Very brief, I only brought up 16 cm on here cuz I was too scared to bring that up with him lol, mostly talked about just doing 1 segment bc I don’t even have the money to do anything rn. But yeah he mentioned upper arm to lower arm is way less noticeable than arm to leg proportion
