An armspan equal to your height or 1 cm less will look fine.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are already 5"9.5, a totally average height for men. I am sure very few people actually perceive you as short, but you want to get LL, fine good for you. Now, instead of just being happy "growing" to 6"0/6"1, now you are asking us to imagine whether your arms will look short at that new height (something nobody notices). Now three people who have had the surgery are telling you that you will be fine/stop worrying, and you refuse to believe them and are trying to find other people to engage in this craziness and make you upset.
Do you understand now?
Quote from: manzar on June 22, 2021, 06:12:56 PMhello, first of all i'd be more than welcome if you forgive this unconvenient image but i had to blur the areas. Whatever. I know nobody will be able to comment perfectly due to the angle etc.
I'm fully aware of that. So im not expecting an expert opinion on this. Just please give me some opinions though.
I'm 176 and my armspan is 182cm. I have worries about my arm length. My hands are huge btw, not clearly seen in the picture but as big as my 6"3 friend. Im thinking maybe my narrow af shoulders give the illusion of my arms looking short, or i actually have short arms.
Whats your opinion on this

Edit: I have NOT measured my armspan wrongly. Its 182cm.
My big hands adds like 3 cm of an advantage compared to an average guy. So if you minus it, and take my span as 179cm. Its still in the O.K line. The thing is, is it my arms are short or my shoulder is narrow?
I reckon up to -6cm ape index and youll look fine. But honestly I wouldnt worry about it, getting taller will make u happy youll forget about proportions. Its not gonna be noticeable. BTW that number is my opinion dont rely on it lol.

Walking speed is fine, walking gait is and always was a little weird. However, this is due to a separate deformity I have (over 40 degrees of External Tibial Torsion) and is unrelated to my femur lengthening 7 years ago.
I think it wouldn't look off.
