3 inches external tibia Dr.Amar Sarin

Edit Post

Do you think someone has really proportions for a quadrilateral lengthening of 10 cm, 6 femur+4 tibia, with a year of distance. Beacuse I am concerned about the relation of my femur length to tibia. Morissete, good luck with your goal.

There is a big difference between putting 15lb Dumbbells on your knees to fight ballerina vs holding your entire body weight I don't think I have to do the math for you. And I and its hard to say you would have to figure out your proportions before hand and do some math. Everyones proportions are different but I think 6+4 would keep your legs well proportioned it's more a question of wether or not your torso is long enough. In most cases we shorties have short legs and longer torsos so it works out nicely.

haha please stop fooling yourself and be realistic In most cases shorties ''dont'' have short legs and longer torsos people mostly come to world with a proportioned body(of course there are exceptions and they are not so common but they exist.)
People just come to forum and be like ''hey guys im 165(or 170) and i have very short legs so LL will make my proportions much better.''
LOL you dont have ''short'' legs compared to rest of your body...You are just short alredy!

Well height to inseam ratio is a good measurement to judge if someone has short or long legs.

But i agree a lot of people exaggerate that they have short legs when in real life they are just average for their height.

Actually, judging by the pics this guy posted a few months ago in the proportion thread, he has really really short tibias... His tibia LL will actually improve his proportions... But yeah... Most people are well proportioned to a degree but in varies... I am a 5'7 with 27-28 inseam

I posted on the forum a few months ago asking everyone's sitting height. My sitting height is 91cm at 168cm and people said that was relatively short torso people were saying they had 92-93cm+ sitting height and they were shorter then me. Either way to me longer legs looks better I guess it's all just how you interpret proportions yourself. You should only be trying to please yourself by doing this surgery if you're trying to please everyone you'll never be happy.

I don't know if your honest or not but don't listen to the negativity you did the surgery for yourself, not for the approval of others. I have my feelings about Sarin but you have already gone beyond the point of return, you have to focus on recovery. I would advice to stop lengthening when your body is telling you to stop and not until you reach 3 inches.

Thanks bander and that is the plan I will stop when my body tells me to stop

uhm i really dont agree that,if we think that he is 168 and look at his proportion pics,i cant see anything anormal.They are just normal sized tibias..

and morissette,im not trying to attack you or offend you in anyway.I really dont.Please be careful and listen other veterans advices.(like sweeden,he is very realistic and knows so much about this whole thing.)
I hope you dont regret your decision later.I wish you a good recovery.

Thank you Peaceout I am more then willing to stop before hand 8cm would just be the "dream" I guess you could put it. Now proportion wise according to my x-rays my femur is 17" and my tibia is 11". That makes a 6" difference in length I too agree that by just looking at my proportions picture my legs still look fairly proportionate. Now if we were to get all technical the average difference between the two would be 4" so if by some miracle I did get the 3" I was after I would still be very close to the average if I don't reach the 3" my proportions would essentially be almost perfect. I was lucky in my height dilemma that my proportions turned out this way although I'll admit even if they weren't like this it wouldn't have stopped me from doing the surgery.
