I'm pretty new to limb lengthening and I've been considering going for 4-6cm with Dr. G. I'm 1.70m with a ~1.73m wingspan, so I'm pretty limited with the amount of total length I can achieve. I am considering the following 3 options:
- 4cm femur
- 4cm tibia
- 3cm each (6cm total)

Anything more than this I feel like I'd look off proportionally, but I'm open to any thoughts/advice for what lengthening amounts would be the best choice for me.
Thanks!

Get the tibia-femur percentage

Your forearms and your tibias look longer, while your humerus/femurs look proportionately shorter.

I'm 88% tibia-femur ratio...and i can lengthen 10cm on my Femurs and look proportional , rather than paying 2x surgeries.

So check.

Femur is naturally the longest bone in your body, hence the one providing most height.

If i was you I would go for 6+4,maybe 6,5+4,5

Measured it myself with hug the wall method, could be slightly off but I'm pretty sure it's between 1.73-1.75. A while ago I considered humerus lengthening since I wanted to do quadrilateral lengthening, but realized that's probably a bad idea.
