Just curious to know example tibia and femurs have a safe limit obviously it changes based on what ever doctor you speak to but what is the safe limits for forearm and upper arm not sure if it’s called humerus if anyone knows please feel free to share.
Also I heard somewhere it’s easier and safer to lengthen to arms then it is with leg lengthening is that true.
Hello Friend
I read an article about limb extensions but for corrections of deformities and for dwarfism,
but it was necessary an evaluation because it varies a lot of person and it is logical that the umero - ulna and radius has minor bearing which limits this type of elongation. I never saw anyone who did for aesthetics.
and the name is
humerus - Arm
ulna and radius - forearm
What I can tell you according to a doctor I've talked to is that upper arm is possible to lengthen with a nail. Not so difficult. Limit depends on your height, health and lengthening distance. But forget forearm. Possible with external but many badly calculable risks. Its not worth it

Are you saying forearms are a no-go area for lengthening.
Also with what you said about the height also increasing the amount you can safely lengthen on average what is it like for every inch you can go say 1 inch from any height over 5’7 as an example

Yes forearms are No-Go. The risks are too high.
How much you can lengthen your upperarms depends on the proportion to your forearms and to the rest of your body. I can not say the exact limit in inches or cm because during conversation arm lengthening was a side issue. In cosmetic leg lengthening the limit per limb is 10-12 cm, so 20-24 cm in total. But thats really extreme and many doctors deny such distances for good reasons. so try to convert that to your arm length including all important proportions of your body and you should get an approximate estimation
So after reading this I’ve one more question is it odd if the upper arm is more longer then the forearm I mean my is smaller then my forearm but I don’t know if that’s the norm also do you know how arm lengthening effects the muscle you can build in arms
say that the bigger the person the greater the possibility of stretching due to the simple fact that larger people have bigger tendons, it is a proportion ratio, small people have tendons and small muscles so stretching is proportionally smaller,
then in the arms there is no way to predict a safe elongation because it is not standard will depend on your current size and tendons, a doctor will analyze and can predict how much can be stretched and the probability that you can not stretch is great,
because the arm is much more sensitive than a leg you do not use the feet to write or eat so lose some sensitivity in the feet no problem already in the hands can harm you for the rest of life.
in the article that I read about stretching for corrections of deformities and dwarfism, I did have forearm stretching, but these patients already have the side effects of mobility problems so in case they have nothing to lose, but aesthetically it is very risky to lose a limb that works perfectly for pure cosmetics
So on that what would you say is the limit to when people notice your arms are short compared to your height

With arms down at your sides, as long as your hand can reach past your groin, your arms I think shouldn't look short compared to your height.
Here is a clear example of what short arms look like. It doesn't look like his hands could reach past his groin.
