Kunt kinte, are you actually 1.8m? You look 1.7m judging on your legs to torso proportions and small hands. What's your sitting height?

yeah i am actually 1.8m (181.5cm morning, 179.5cm evening), i have no reason to lie. sitting height is around 96-97 depending if its the morning or evening, my inseam is about 82-84cm. and in regard to my hands, theyre 21cm(measured it wrong the first time 23cm) wich isnt that small in my opinion but theyre next to my monster size thigh so they may look small for that reson.

I think femurs 5cm look best and your arms length will be fine.

I understand your desire for wanting to be taller. I'm 179 now myself and not happy.

5cm on tibias is enough and you'll heal up alright.

Correct!

There is no chance in the history of mankind that your femurs are shorter than your tibias.

Why is this so hard to understand?

If you are 5'5 and under. Then i think you can have equal heigt in tibia an femur maybe 55% in femur but nevertheless pretty identical.

Do 5-6cm on tibias with just externals. This is the least invasive surgery and the most reliable compared to internals. You don't have to worry about nail failure, nail breakage, permanent knee pain and the higher chance of pulmonary embolism associated with nail insertion. Ilizarov frames are full weight bearing and cheaper as well. Longer tibias will give also give a taller appearance when sitting down. Frame time should be around 7-8 months with 5-6cm. If you feel that you can't cope with the long frame time then you have the option of nail insertion later on.

I was thinking about it at first but I realized that I have long tibias and it would look very weird if I go on and lengthen them further, best option for me is femur lengthening You're right and I agree with you to the max, longer tibias look better and make you appear taller.
