Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on July 03, 2021, 02:44:15 PMYes.  You look like a tibia LL vet already.  Do femurs.
Wouldnt my torso then look even shorter because I've heard that long femurs make your torso look shorter.

Quote from: HobbitMan on July 03, 2021, 06:13:12 PMKinda depends on how tall you are.  If you’re 5’9” with these proportions you’ll look fine at 6’0.  If you’re 5’4” you might be limited in how much you can hide.  But I would definitely consider femurs only.

You don’t look freakish or anything so I doubt 5cm femurs would look bad.  You could probably do 8cm if you’re not really short already.

You can actually hide long femurs better by wearing pants an inch lower.  This makes your torso actually look longer.
I am 5'7.5

I already wear pants lower rise(this photos) because my torso is short.If I wear pants on high rise ,I look like I have no torso.

Quote from: HobbitMan on July 03, 2021, 07:52:40 PMIf you have a goal of 4cm increase, you’ll look fine.  I would just do it in the femurs and not your tibias.  4cm in the femurs is a pretty small operation and you’ll recover fantastically.  Probably as if you never had LL.
Actually I saw now that tibia to femur ratio should be 0.80 and mine is now 0.88 so if I would do 4cm in femurs it would be 0.81

Quote from: HobbitMan on July 03, 2021, 08:31:14 PMSounds like you have your answer then!  I need your opinion about lengthening.  You’re an ideal femur patient.  You have long legs so I wouldn’t go much past 4cm, you could probably get to 5cm without looking super long legged.  You’ll be over 5’9” then with longish legs, which will probably give you the appearance of looking taller.  Based on proportions you could then probably claim 5’10 or 5’11 in social contexts, if you want to.

If you feel the need to get to 8cm you’ll still look fine because your arms are long enough.
No,I wont go further than 4 cm because I have scoliosis so after scoliosis surgery which I must do I will gain additional inch or 3 cm.

I measured my inseam and I have already 81 cm inseam.If I do 4cm in femurs would it still look acceptable?

Quote from: a on July 13, 2021, 09:48:57 PMWhat the heck!? Are you only 5'7 !? I swear to god when I clicked on your imgur pic I instantly thought you were a 6'3 guy tryna get more height. Your tibias are very good. Can pull 5-6 cm on femurs (probably)

Insane proportions mate, regards
Actually I am 5'8 but I have low eye level so I feel myself as 5'7.Yeah my inseam is similar like those 5'10 and 5'11 that s why I look taller.

Quote from: 6CMFemurs on July 15, 2021, 02:32:54 AMYou look as normal as anyone else on this page. If you can afford internal femurs, do the maximum you safely can and be done with this.
I dont know I have to wear child clothes for 13 year old at 5'8  because small shirts for grown ups are too long for me and I can easily wear 32 inch pants now that s why I dont know If Im going to look weird.

Quote from: Thorfinnn on July 15, 2021, 11:31:32 PMHonestly I think you would look normal with an 8 cm increase. I wouldn’t worry about it too much just get your desired height and be done with it. I wouldn’t recommend tucking in your pants or wearing your pants higher because they make your legs look longer.
I dont'know If I can go over 4 cm in femurs.I have short torso.Look at photos.http://imgur.com/a/6J7GfB9
