Quote from: 53dude on November 30, 2015, 12:23:44 AMThat is what I thought initially, maybe I fked up at some point, the underwear pic isnt the best pic thou
5'8 would be the perfect but, anyways If it is to get 2 surgeries I`ll aim 5'7 1/2 something like (1.71)
Also I want to get more details on my measures somehow
Nah, you didn't screw up. I once tried to simulate a 5" gain with shoe lifts + my LL. I noticed that if I pulled my jeans all the way up so that my jean's crotch area was tight against my crotch, I looked very disproportional, like your underwear pic. But if I pulled the jeans down 2-3 inches, I looked proportional. You can get away with it if you're wearing clothes. Take off your clothes... and you'll look like a long-legged freak. Add that in with the scars, and any person will probably be able to tell that you had LL. You might have well save yourself the trouble at that point and wear shoe lifts.
But having gone through LL myself, I highly recommend that people try getting LL on femurs first before considering tibias. You don't know how difficult doing LL is until you do it. All the waiting. All the pain. All the physical therapy. And then to do it all over again a second time? Man.

I won't know what I'm truely talking about until I go through it myself, but if you lengthen over 2 surgeries and don't cross the 5cm barrier on either limb, then the whole LL experience should be a much quicker and easier experience all round. That's not to say that 5cm is an easy road. Just quicker and easier than 8!

53dude wants to do 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) on each. While the 6.35 cm on the femur would be slightly easier than my 8 cm, the 6.35 cm on the tibs are about the same experience as my femurs if not worse. Tibias are 1/4 slower to lengthen and heal than femurs.
But the hardest part of the surgery is actually the first 2 weeks after the surgery. So even if you do just 2 weeks of lengthening, you'll still experience the worst 2 weeks of your life. And if you do a second surgery, that's a month of agony.
I think that everyone who goes to this surgery is already expecting the most excruciating pain for as long as it takes to length
But yeah reading your diary I might ask for Oxycontin/Advil, and stay the whole procedure on a hotel nearby or even in the hospital if possible
I consider myself as someone that handles pain extremely well thou, I already went to procedures that even the doctors said that would be painful without flinching
I would go down to 5cm on tibia if i judge the first 6 on the femurs too much
legs look too long, i would not go above 5.7.
Even in the dressed pics? I think I should take better underwear pics because this one does`nt looks good compared to the dressed one

Sure, you will look fine in the dressed pics. But what happens when you need to get nked or wear shorts?
Underwear pic is terrible looking- honestly it looks like an anime character. As a 5'3 dude myself i sympathize because 5'7 is my goal as well. I advise wearing jeans at waist level and getting shirts that run a bit longer, it will help your aesthetics tremendously. Other than that looks fine you won't look weird or anything just skinny.
5'8 looks like your legs are stilts. Way too long.
And as a 5'2 guy who plans on going to 5'5 I can empathize a little, but you should keep a reasonable goal like 5'6. Us very-short guys look weirder when lengthening because of our initial length. For example, a 5'0 guy lengthening 4 inches will look like his legs are way too long, but a 6' guy going to 6'4 won't look that bad.
tl;dr
If I were you I'd do 5'6.
What's your wingspan?
