My co-worker who I sat with in a couch during a meeting, we were sitting rather straight because of course, meeting with bosses. I noticed we had the same or rather very close seating heights and similar tibia/lower leg height as well, the only huge noticeable difference is our femurs, his is noticably 3 inches or more longer. And this isn't the first time I've seen this sat next to a taller person, so I'm confident enough atleast for my femurs that when lengthened it will still look fine proportionally speaking.
The calc is wrong but in regards to trying to maintain your pre LL ratio, imo no it's not worth atleast in terms for both duration and risk. Also no sane LL'er would even opt for just 3.5cm on a segment when planning two LL. It's not worth the time nor effort.
Precisely, at minimum you want atleast 5cm for both segments. Remember you're wasting almost 2 years of your life just for a single pair of LL and for 3.5cm? That's not worth at all. You wasted 4 years just to recover from 7cm lengthening.
IMO again is just do one segment first and see where it goes from there. Personally I think I'm fine with 5'9. My ideal goal is 5'10ish but honestly that's only if I want to also risk both time and money and seeing it now, probably hard no.
Yeah I think doing only one lengthening is the most pragmatic solution. Single LL is already half a fantasy for me at this point in my life, so double LL is a pipe dream anyway. If legs really vary like that and wouldn't look too weird with 3 inches lengthening (all I want anyway) I can live with it.
How obvious is it you've done LL (femurs only)?
I second this experience. I am 168 cm and one of my closest friends is around 178 and we have around the some torso length and very similar tibia length. However when sitting up straigth you can see a clear difference in the femur length. I also think it is more common to come across someone with long femurs as opposed to someone with long tibias but that is just my opinion.
The most obvious are not the proportions but the scars. Even with internals, there are some telltale scars. It's no big deal.
that one guy that did 12 cm on his femurs . he wore tight shorts and u can really see his long thigh. looks like some 7 footer thigh lol. but yeh i looked at a few grls tibia leg and there pretty short compared to mines. so i guess u can tell if u didnt have clothes on.
It noticeable that you're taller to people that knew you before LL, even at 5cm if that's the question.
People doesn't focus too much on proportions, the obvious thing is the height increase. An increase of 6/7 cm is very noticeable and most people will know that you grew.
Proportions are noticeable to a certain degree, people might not tell you but they will notice if it’s obvious. If being proposition is important to you then stay within a range because you don’t want that to be your new phobia, you’re going think everyone is staring because of your short arms.
im going for 5'11-6 ft and my wingspan is 5'7 im gonna start having that phobia. it just gonna suck lol.
It's not noticeable, and there's one very easy way to prove this:
How many people have you walked past IRL and thought 'they had leg lengthening done'? 0, right? Infact the only times you've ever noticed a proportions imbalance I bet, is from pictures posted on this forum.
All those thousands, tens of thousands of people you've walked past in the street, met at work, gone to college with etc, and you couldn't notice a single one who had LL done. So even people on this forum, who would be 'more trained' to notice such things, wouldn't be able to 'notice' on a stranger unless they were specifically looking for it (which is why asking about your proportions here is useless, as anyone as 'see' something if it's been pointed out to them already).

true, a lot of people talk about Henry Cavill having very small arms but I never noticed it until I really started paying attention to this stuff.
