Hello,

I want to be AT LEAST 182cm, and 185cm max.
My current height is 174, my wingspan is 181-182 cm.

So, as you all know the safe amount for tibias is 5cm, 2 inches, at max.

But the thing is, If , I lengthen my femurs, I think my tibias will be completely f** up as the look.
also, If I lengthen my tibias, I'll be 178-179cm max which is not my dream at least height.

Idk what to do, I'd like to have 2 seperated surgeries but It seems kinda unlikely to happen.
What would you do If you were me ?

Look, even people who are 5'11 wanna undergo this surgery and they weren't being judged as much as I am now.

Being 174 sucks, being under 174 sucks double times.
Best Regards.

Quote from: ghkid2019 on July 16, 2020, 06:19:32 PMIt's fine if you want to do this at 174, we all have our own reasons and it's very possible even a 5'9 person can suffer from height insecurities like TheAlchemist.

To answer you, most people can't notice the long Femurs in clothes. Unfortunately if you care about the ratio, it is something that you would need to consider if you want to do only one surgery. There's no solution really but to do 2 surgeries or not do it at all. Proportions for modest gains like 8 cm is mostly just another complex, most people on the street really wouldn't notice a thing, just you


Well said but I think If you mess with your biological ratio up to 8cm+, I think you won't be able to be using your legs as good as you could before, because you know. You'll have a LONG femur and short tibias compared to it. It's like, you probably will feel like your knees are too below than they have to be. I'm sorry, I couldn't explain it very well but I hope you get it.

Hello, Polvoron

You nailed it, literally every single word that you said are true.
Also, we are kinda at the same height and I also want to be 185cm.

May I know what your wingspan and sitting height is?

Best Regards.

Quote from: Polvorón on July 17, 2020, 11:22:53 PMMy sitting height is 94 cm (37'', not bad) and my armspan is 180 cm (70'' 7/8).
When someone says that "CLL will XXXX your proportions..." (read with a childish voice), I think that sometimes CLL improve proportions, although most of people don't care about proportions.


Your sitting height is nearly perfect. Not "not bad".
You are 4cm taller than me while sitting.

edit: average SH for 6'1 people is 95cm.
