You should set your initial goal to 5~6cms and, once you reach that goal, decide from then whether your body condition and proportions allow you to go further.

gotcha, also from what i've read it also depends on a lot on how flexible and how much muscles you have on your legs right? i guess i should start working on these two things to maximize my chances?

thanks!

Going more than 6cm with one segment increase risks of damaging your soft tissue and becoming crippled drastically.

I don't even talk about recovery.

Not one case have become crippled with an experienced doctor (internal method). 7 Cm is where you get your moneys worth.

I think 6.5 should be fine.

Theoretically Sarin is an "experienced" doctor besides even Paley had few bad cases.

Money is worth it if you are satisfied with the results.

Quote from: maximuskoncept on August 12, 2016, 10:15:50 PMCurrently 173CM, 140 LB, 27 years old.
My inseams are 78 cm, 45% of my overall height.
Really short arms, 170cm wingspan.

Looking to go to 180-181cm, i.e. 7-8 cm.
I'd like to go with Guichet or Paley, saving up money to do this in a year or two. yolo

Should I try to get all 7-8cm on internal femur? assuming that it is doable, would it be too out of proportion?

Also would my arms be tooooo short? 180cm height 170cm wingspan

Thanks!

Dont worry about proportions. You'd look fine. If 7-8cm is what you want then go for it. I think 6.5 is a sensible goal for recovery and money's worth. Do what makes you happy though. Everyone's physiology is different. Some people can handle larger amounts and others can't. Sensible suggestion made by someone else that you should get to 5cm and then take it one day at a time from there. Definitely reccomend being flexible and strong before this surgery.

Don't get hung up on proportions.. Unless you're lengthening over 10cm (and no, I'm not referring to your wingspan I'm referring to total height gained) then everyone looks acceptable.. No one in the real world is analysing how tall you are when you sit. If you're fat you have a taller sitting height because of all the padding.. No one analyses the difference in sitting height with overweight people. They don't even think about it.. Because we're out here in the real world with more concerning things to pre-occupy our minds with.. And wingspans aren't an issue if you stick with 3 inches. Anyone can lengthen 3 inches and look normal (yes your femur will be longer than usual, but you can't change that if you want to get your money's worth). Just save the money for the doctor you want, and take it one day at a time once you get the surgery. If you want 7cm then make that your end goal and don't look back.... Don't sit on this forum analysing things that aren't a big deal. Take action, spend your time saving and actually take steps to making your dream become a reality. Focus on being the best you in the mean time.. Obviously use the tools this forum has to make yourself as knowledgable as possible, just don't waste all your time analysing things that don't matter.
