Feasible goals? Mockups and Proportions Included

Edit Post

We need more people on here telling people the truth. Informing people of the dangers if they do excessive lengthening etc.

Whatever approach we take shouldn't matter as much. For example, the other guy was relatively nicer with his words and you are more sarcastic. To me that doesn't matter as I am grateful for any good advice.

This is a serious life altering surgery and we should encourage more people to give out real, benefiting information. Information that can prevent complications.

So yes, do bother guys! Whether you do it nicely or not, do bother. I don't want people to make stupid decisions that they will regret.

Freakish and grotesque is an extreme thing to say. If you could point me to some videos, so I could judge for myself, it would be much appreciated.

Do cross lengthening to get to 5'9. So thats 2 inches tibias, 2 inches femurs. You'll be average height and still proportionate. In my opinion cross lengthening is the only way to do it unless you have unusually short femurs or tibas. You have a great sitting height for your stature so you could pull off 5'9 easily.

Honestly photos from this kind of angle can be misleading, you'd also need to stand next to people IRL. But just my naive opinion from what I can see here is the 173cm looks the most balanced. 175 also looks pretty good but I'd have to see how your torso lines up with real people in real life. It'd be better to do a small amount on one segment, then evaluate your proportions and agility, and then go back for a second if you'd desire.

I actually do kind of agree with that doomer guy, people on here underestimate proportions. Human brains are extremely sensitive to human proportions, other people will never say anything and will just assume you have a weird body, but for your own sanity and your own sake, to feel happy when you look in the mirror and receive peace of mind, it'd probably be better to lengthen more conservatively so you don't exchange one form of BDD for another.
