NO ONE GIVES A FÜCK ABOUT ARM LENGTH UNLESS UR LITERALLY ACHONDROPLASIA ARM PROPORTIONS. SO IGNORE THE HATERS

Don't let some nazi tell you random SHÏT  otherwise. You look absolutely fine in ironically the latter two. Now the original, the natural proportions looks like the worse. Haha.

even paley assayag and rozzie all say this, everyone do yourself a favor and stop fixating on arms, you will only end up poisoning your mind

op your arms look perfectly fine if you had jsut shown me the edited ver i would not have suspected a thing!

Hi friend, are you referrring to the original one I posted (the incorrect one) or the one by Iron_Man?

I’d still aim for 12 cm (8 + 4), not because of proportions but to lower the risk of complications.

Thank you so much friend, it is very encouraging to know that my dream of 178 is at least theoretically possible.

These people are trying to poison your mind that 14 cm (even with 2 different surgeries) is a healthy amount of lengthening. I think you should do 8 (femurs) + 6 (tibs) or 5 (femurs) + 5 (tibs).

Even 0.5 cm over your limit might cause a tremendous affect on your recovery because you do not know how your soft tissue will react to this kind of lengthening. These people are being delusional because they are convincing themselves that they can do a huge amount too. Ask any L veterans like Sweden, and you will know what happened to your body when you cross 5 cm on your tibs.

Hi friend, you mention 8 femurs + 6 tibs, that's what I am talking about as well.

Doing this is surgery is in itself dangerous. Obviously lengthening too much is exponentially riskier. I just know that Giotikas allows for 8cm femur and 6cm tibias assuming everything goes well (that's what he has commented in one of his videos on youtube), and I just wanted to know if theoretically I would be able to pull this off (meaning I would not look like an alien)

I don't know much about Sweden, but afaik he did 7.5 cm on tibias with Ilizarov method. From 6cm to 7.5cm that is a big increase. Perhaps 6cm is also terrible, perhaps it can be tolerated by a selected few, I don't know. Maybe with TSF instead of traditional Ilizarov or even better with Stryde 6cm is more realistic?

I wud do 7+4, with the logic being one cm less than the "limit" for each segment. 11cm increase, and still get you to 175.

I will not recommend doing more than 5cm on Tibias, unless they were a year apart. The tibia just simply cannot take much. U stretch the Achilles way too much.

Like bruno "uptown funk you wink" mars said, even a small increase of 0.5cm on Tibia can really push you over the top and fück you up. Under 5cm tibia plz

no i agree that 14 is quite a load on the soft tissues, and that the amounts you recommend are smart.
my point was simply that his arms looked ok because they were proportional to his torso

as ghkid said it would be much safer to lengthen one segment at a time with at least a year in between to maximise his body's ability to lengthen
