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.

You should take your socks off, pull your trunks up a bit and take the picture from hip height.

Socks make tibs look shorter, as do trunks.

I would do 5-6 on one portion and be done.

I think your legs look too long after 9cm.. But you could pull it off in front of the untrained eye.. Also if you bulk up it will look better. Stick to 5-6cm on one portion and be done though.

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 ?

from my point of view, just do tibias. You look better with the tibias than even your normal photo (and let's not talk about the tibia+femurs photo).

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

Did you get your legs measured by x-ray yet? The 4,5cm pic looks fine imo, the socks make it slightly harder to judge though. 9cm's are too much, 9cm's is just too much to look acceptable on anyone.
I'd only do 4cm's if I was you, the 0,5cm won't be noticed but this way you would decrease your recovery time by quit a bit.

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.

What will you say on me becoming 176? Should I sacrifice my proportions?

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