8 cm in femurs and disproportion

Edit Post

For those who have done their femurs for +7cm. How does your femurs proportion look? Can you post a photo without face? Is your walking normal with  that extra cm in your femurs? How about recovery? Thanks

Edit Post

Not gonna post pics and can't comment on recovery, but as for proportions it improved my proportions due to wingspan.

I have seen a few people who have done around 7 and also look very proportionate.

Does the proportion  between tibia and femurs look weird or is ok?

Edit Post

I think it looks perfect, and with shorts on even a proportion nazi wouldn't notice anything.

programdude,

Are there any tibia patients there currently, and what do you think of their proportions? Do you think femurs are more easy to appear proportionate?

Edit Post

Yes, femurs are a lot better in my opinion. First being that they are supposed to be long, and many people naturally have long ones. Also, long tibia(8 cm lengthened or so) will be obvious except in pants, femurs are obscured by shorts mostly.

I've met several tibia lengtheners, but they all have done 1.5-2 inches for the very reason of it not holding up well in terms of proportions as opposed to femurs. That being said they all look excellent, but in every single case, other than one patient of sarins who's here to be fixed, is the persons second operation.

This question is pointless as everyone is different, how long is a piece of string?

We all have different starting proportions and what may look normal or proportionate on someone who just did 8cms on his/her femurs may look completely disproportionate for you

I think the person who originally asked this question honestly wants to see pictures of people who lengthened femurs. I would like to see such pictures also.

Yeah. It will be great to see some pictures

Longer tibias look much better in my opinion, but one has to be careful, as if you go crazy with tibia lengthening or if you have long tibias in the first place you can end up look off.
