Hi guys, I want to go from 170 cm to 177.5 cm.
Wingspan: 174.5 cm.
Sitting height: 88.5 cm.
Jeans inseam: 30"

My first choice is probably internal femurs due to greater safety, less recovery time, and hidden scars. But I am open to tibias if my proportions look weird.

I've done mockups now, but it looks like my legs are too long even before LL? Or am I just imagining it? And which should I do, femurs or tibias?

1st picture is current height, 2nd is femur 7.5 cm, 3rd is tibia 7.5 cm.

Not gonna lie, they look a bit long. The femur lengthening looks better than the tibia lengthening.

Oh no...I was afraid of this. I'll put some mockups with my hands by my side, and me in clothes to see if that makes any difference :/

Although I'd rather be a disproportionate average guy than a proportionate short one.

The femur lengthened doesn't look that bad. Get your doctor's opinion on this.

You are as proportionate as everyone else to begin with and if you only are going to do one LL you should do tibias.
Look how ridiculous short your tibias look in the middle picture. Your knees are way too low down too.

You must make the decision yourself in the end.
Best of luck.

Don't his tibias seem longer than his femur in the 3rd one? Isn't that a taboo in LL?

Tibias for sure

I think you look OK in the last picture. Your legs do look long, but many tall people have long tibias and femurs.

I agree that tibias look best.
