Hello everyone I am new to the forum but not to the LL community I'm curious what you guys think about my goals and if I've got any chance in hell at looking normal after my surgeries. I should say I plan to do my tibias and femurs over the next few years I am currently 5'4 and I will not accept being any less than 5'9 after all is done I know its a huge amount of lengthening to do but I think I can pull it off because my wingspan is 5'7 and I've got fairly broad shoulders so I wouldn't look like some of those extremely odd skinny tall people you see every now and then in the street and wonder if they ever eat you know. I know several people that have gone an inch or two above their wingspan and look fantastic so I'm not too worried bout it however my sitting height is extremely short due to my short torso I'm bout 81cm sitting and I realize that would definitely make me look odd after lengthening 6inches overall  but I believe clothes can help me give the appearance of a larger torso I am one of those skinny jeans low on waist long shirt wearing kind of guys so if I did that I think I could pull 5'9 off anyways what do you guys think? Any advice or comments really appreciated even if you don't comment thanks for hearing me ramble cheers Proportions!! Will I look alright at 5'9

Yeah I just wanted opinions since at times people can make themselves see what they want to  didn't want to be one of those mean don't want to end up looking as a circus performer walking on peg legs you know

I see. Well thank you that makes me feel slightly better I kept seeing on old forum  the average SH always being round 90cm made me feel disfigured honestly  also typo I only want to gain 5 inches possibly 4 if any complications arise

Quote from: Wannabegiant on August 06, 2014, 12:07:44 AMMaybe he is referring to another population, or a mix, that graph is only for dutch people right? i would think for african populations etc it would be a lower average sitting height ratio


Yeah I was also wondering that.. Mean I'm Caribbean born but of European descent so.. Don't know which  chart i should go by since I plan on moving to England so probably that
