My mock-up

Edit Post

Hey guys,

So, I decided to post some mock-ups.

On the left side its me with my normal height of 175.5 cm, in the middle there is + 4.5 in the tibia for a total of 180 and on the right there is + 4.5 on the femur as well for a grand total of 184.5.

Which one do you think looks best ? I think that proportion wise the one in the middle is really good, the question is, can I pull the third one. My Wingspan is 182.

P.S

Just to add that I am currently 69kg and plan to bulk to around 75 before the 1st surgery.

I thought about the socks and I figured, they dont make that much of a difference, plus I almost always will be wearing socks. I think that with clothes it will look OK, especially with a t-shirt or a blouse that naturally gives the allusion that my torso is bigger/legs are shorter.

In 2-3 months when I am 4-5 kg heavier, I wil post another mock up, this time without socks and another one with clothes.

I guess there is no value to push it thoughand I will most likely stop with the picture in the middle. i think it looks well, especially with clothes. I wouldnt do more than 4.5 in my tibia though. I think LL is a great thing if used correctly and people do not overdue it. And in my case even though I think 9cm, as Deeds say, especially with clothes, might look fine, I think its pushing it too much. I might also do 2 x 4 instead of 2 x 4.5. I am really curious how it would look like when I bulk up.

anybody else ?

yeah at this point Femurs are far in the future. Besides, at 180 it is very likely I wouldnt bother further.

Thanks for the input. I would say that if one does 5 cm and becomes 170..he could do 4, 5 even 6 more, there is a trade-off between proportions and height. If u are 165 initially you might be more inclined to sacrifice proportions, recovery..but if you become 180 I think you are right and it is not worth it anymore.

For 2 cm no, if u do tibias 4-5 cm, definitely

That is what I decided to do, however, I will do 6 cm or 7 cm on the Femurs. I will post later a mock up to see how it goes. I will most likely go with Dr. Mahboubian in Los Angeles.

Your mock-ups make me sad because I have similar height and I realized that I should't do LL. Now I am only inclide to do correction. Nevertheless, everything above 175 is ok.

The same with Descreteuser. I saw his pictures and I think that he now looks much worse that before surgery. Now he looks fairly cartoonish.

I appreciate your opinion but I will still proceed with the surgery. As I said, I will most likely to 6-7 cm on my femurs. I don't believe that proportions can be damaged with that single amount on the femurs. I would agree though that 9 cm even with 2 surgeries would be too much.

It is just that nobody really cares about proportions from the outside world. I ve never seen anybody commenting that somebody has long legs and now I am part of LL Forumorum I can tell when somebody has abnormally long legs and if I ask somebody what they think they are just like - oh I ve never thought about that. So, unless somebody does a ridiculous amount of LL, like 15 +, I dont't think proportions for the untrained eye would be an issue.

I don't know it unfortunately.

Come on guys, Descreteuser was 180 cm and he just did 4 cm. That is basically the very definition of doing safe amount - both out of health and out of proportion concerns
