Quote from: Beemer m3 on January 30, 2024, 09:48:47 AMthat 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.
I don't think it would take a detective anyways to notice that since 12cm on femurs is incredibly noticeable. I actually think that might be too long, but depends on how long his tibia is also in the first place. But if we consider even a high end of the ratio, I feel like the tibia would look far less prominent at that point and imo less appealing and really is just more noticeable that "something isn't right" 'cause it looks unnatural. Like you said it's noticeable with shorts, and that's because of how far the knee is from the shorts' ends.
I talked about this in another thread, but I genuinely know I have short femurs, although not accurate measurements because I haven't had them x-rayed. But I can obviously tell just from being with people taller than me with similar torso lengths and tibial lengths when sitting or standing. Like that other guy who said a similar thing with his friend who's 5'10. But also, in regards to shorts, most shorts for me look baggy and long af. Which is one reason why I hate wearing shorts, because they just don't look aesthetically pleasing to me since a lot of them can level or go down below knee height. Even the "short shorts" were still only a few inches above my knees, but it's the only one that actually accentuates my thighs better. Yes, I know my calves look great esp when it higlights my muscles further, but I still prefer a highlight on even my thighs. It also makes you look slimmer with wearing shorts above knees. An fyr, my wingspan is 5'10~5'11 so I really got screwed by genetics on that end with my legs.

Yes for the NBA, but they're an all different beast together, I think it still looks proportional because they were tall to begin with, an avg of 6'6, longer femurs don't look unnatural to shorter tibias. For women it also looks a tad more natural to have longer femurs, but for males below 6' I don't think you're getting away with long ass femurs well above the supposed avg proportions. Sure people won't probably know it's leg lengthening surgery, but they would atleast find it look unnatural in a way. It's why I also think 8cm is probably the hard limit atleast that it won't look too "weird" if you already had long femurs in the first place.

I still think you don't need to have experienced the surgery or be some expert to know if that leg length looks unnatural or not. It just really depends on the length, and yes that 10cm will be noticeable IF your ratio was already within the avg limits and you either go up/down the avg. A few mm deviations should barely make that difference noticeable, but if you're going well above/below, then that's where things start to look unnatural.
This is why you should still stay within proportions and see if you can imagine or look at yourself compared to other people taller than you. If you're like me or that other fellow, similar tibia/torso height to some taller people, then great you can go femur lengthening to some length atleast without looking our of proportion.
Of course, it'd still take some scrutiny to even notice, atleast without something covering the knee and below it. And people can just argue that's just how their genetics were, if assuming you kept your surgery lowkey and no one close to you knew your pre-height before your young adult years.
As for the scars, I genuinely don't know why people worry about it too much. IMO, it's the least of your worries, esp considering scars can fade overtime and literally a lot of cheap treatments exist for fading and treating scars. I've even had a knife scar on my hand I treated with a home-dermapend treatment, barely visible now.
