It can be over 2 segments or 1 segments.

Any evidence of people doing over 10cm and looking normal?

Good topic/question. I wish we could see some photos of guys who did 10cm on their femurs. I still toy around with doing another 2-3cm on femurs, but I feel like my proportions would be terrible, so probably have to bite the bullet and do tibias (as much as I really don't want to).

idk , but 10 cm on one segment cant be good for mechanics

Dr G told me a patient recently completed 18cm in femurs only, and that the guy apparently looked normal in clothes. But I don't know what his starting height was.
I look fine now 7cm added, but not sure if I did 2.5cm more...that might send it over the top.

18 cm, i dont believe the dr
unless he was very young, and had some deformity. id have to see the actual case study to believe an adult in his late 20's or 30's can lengthen 18 cm in femurs and then be completely fine

Yeah I think anything over 7.5cm on one segment depending on your starting proportions might be too much.

From the patients I've seen I think starting height is a key factor in how much someone can do. The guys around 170cm going to 180cm are on the cusp of looking weird. Guys around 165cm going to 175cm tend to look weird. The question then becomes is it better to be slightly shorter and look normal or be taller and look strange. I think people on here downplay proportions due to having a complex of being short and getting taller is better no matter what.
I don't think anyone can do amounts like 7.5cm on each segment and look normal even 180cm guys.

Yeah I very briefly met the guy who did 18 cms a few weeks ago. He was coming back to milan to get the nails removed. I honestly probably wouldn't have believed dr G or disregarded if I hadn't seen him in person. I think people who choose to do femurs twice are just looking for the fastest possible recovery and really don't care about proportions etc. walking was normal, didn't see him run or anything. he did 2 operations over the span of 2 years. Yeah he looked normal at first glance and you probably wouldn't think twice if I saw him in the street. It's only after really thinking about proportions and knowing he did 18cms did I determine that his arms were kinda short for his height. Unless I saw him nked couldn't really see anything else that looked off. I personally wouldn't and he seemed to lots of time to focus on recovery 2 yrs and youth on his side- started the first op in his mid 20s. Oh yeah he was taller than dr g maybe 5 '10 or 11 so subtracting 18cm I guess he was 5'3 or 4 originally. Pretty amazing what is possible.

How were his proportions of femur/tibia? That's my main concern. Right now, no one would know I did LL, I look perfectly normal. I just toy with the idea of doing another inch on femurs (because it would be super easy and fast), but then I feel like my tibias would look too short relative to my femurs (but my legs/torso proportions can easily handle another 2, dare I say even 3 inches). So for this, I feel like I'm gonna be stuck doing tibias in a few years, which I really, really, REALLY don't want to do......
