My proportions are killing me

Sorry. Maybe you can ask description from other senior member (Sweden, Calic, Captain America, Crimsontide, Blackhawk, Kusop etc.)

There is some vindictive homo on this site like hadrian which I don't feel safe uploading. I don't want to get attacked for my booty while walking home at night.

What's your wingspan? If it's 178 CM, than we have the same exact height and proportions

172cm normal. 173cm pushing.

Well, my original plan was another 8cm. But I will be a bit more conservative and proportion conscious so I'm shrinking the length down to 5-6cm. Beside from the comments which I receive from LL patients who I meet in person and from hours of analyzing photo, here are some of the comments I receive from members on this forum when I originally plan on doing another 8cm.

My proportion is normal now but 5-6cm is pushing it.

For guys who can't lengthen much, don't feel too bad though. The joy from LL is not so much from reaching a desired height (6'2 or 6'4) as much as the change in perspective.

I will be honest:
-frontal view standing looks bad because of the x-legs
-sideview walking and standing looks completely normal
-sideview running looks strange, but its obvious u're cautious and holding back. so we'll see when u have recovered.

when it comes to proportion, i actually think couple of inches on femur would do you wonders.

Kusop is a blunt guy but I trust his opinion.

Quote from: Blackhawk on January 20, 2014, 04:46:05 AMIt looks like you will be able to lengthen another 3 inches on your femurs and look fine.

Did you mean to type 89 for your sitting height?

I completely trust Blackhawk's opinion, the most successful member on this forum

Quote from: mediocre on February 20, 2014, 06:51:00 AMHi Smallguy, you look great with your proportion.

I think you should reconsider doing another 8cm and go for more conservative LL on your femur, as you might be near your optimum proportion already.

Thanks.

Okay. Maybe not 8cm but 5-6cm will do.

If I really press against the bone my inseam is 83CM otherwise it's 81, which number is correct?

Probably closer to 83. You want the book to be pressed comfortably tight

Yeah my legs are longer than I thought, 7CM is the absolute most I would do.

Yeah my proportions are somewhat limiting to me if I ever chose to do tibias. My sitting height is a bit higher than ShyShy (I think I'm like 89 or 89.5cm sitting height), and his proportions look great (and he was even taller than me). I think what makes my legs look longer in clothes is that, since I have biggish hips, my pants tend to "rise up" on me.

If I ever did tibias, I wouldn't do more than like 4cm. I'll have to see how I feel after I've recovered, hopefully I won't feel the need to do them.

My proportions are pretty bad, thay can handle 7 to max 8CM before they start looking noticeably off in 3CM shoes.

If I do 7CM I might consider arm lengthening after, maybe even check out that clavicle lengthening procedure in due time.

You know... I don't think proportions are that important, unless you have something very small compared to your body, like arms or hands...

If you have long legs, you should have at least long arms, otherwise you would looks like a T-Rex.

To be honest, I don't think a few inches off from a good proportion will kill your body, I decided I don't care much for my proportions and will do my original 12cm and be 178cm, being long legged sounds more like a perk than a flaw to me anyway, and you can only have long legs if compared to a torso, so yeah... I prefer long legs and short torso than short legs and short torso xD

Keep in mind that doing 12cm's will not only harm your proportions but also your bio mechanics.
There are some people who really think that they will go back to 100% after 10cm's. Maybe it is possible, I just haven't heard of anyone were this was the case.
Doing 12cm will most likely result in a heavy and irretrievable loss in leg function, just keep that in mind when planning your surgeries.
I have no real life experience with this though so I only repeat what I've heard from my Dr. and local orthopeadic.
Wish you all the best!

Wait, but you mean more than 10cm in only one segment or the whole leg? Because I was planning on sharing that length between fermur and tibia.
