I have a big problem about that thing. I currently have a 0.142 ratio (%14.2 of my height) and it will be %13.7 after LL. I alrrady have a long humerus and short forearm.

Can you write your current day height and forearm length(truely measured) please?

And can you advice some celebs or someone who have short forearm and still looks normal/good?

I have around 24.8cm ulna length and 165cm height, if I made it to 180 I would have that same 13.7% ratio. the idea bothers me as well but im not sure how much it would actually be noticed. apparently Henry Cavill has short arms but I don't see it much. Artem lobov has short arms but it looks bad to me. to my eyes I can visibly tell my forearm is not of the length of taller people, but I'm not sure it would look any worse than it does now if I was taller. It would likely look fine up to 173cm but after that im unsure.

 my bigger concern is if humerus lengthening can alleviate the arm length issue without touching forearms. the information I have leads me to believe it does, but Im not sure how much lengthening is possible without noticeable disproportion. 5cm seems like a lot but even 3-4 cm could provide a meaningfully longer armspan

but also the absolute difference in ulna length that represents 6 inches of height is like 3cm, and that's really not all that much to freak out about.
