it would be good to find out tibia and femur length.

Yes they look to be quite close but he still looks fine. I would not recommend more lengthening
as you would need to lengthen your arms and then all other sorts of weird proportion issues pop
up. Like others said once you start going to the gym you'll look better.

I agree with MDOW that you could definitely pull off femoral lengthening if you decided later that you wanted it. Your torso would easily handle it. But you look badass as is. What's your weight post LL?

have you got your full legs xrays before surgery or now? , measure your femur in the xray, then your tibia and do this:

tibia/femur= x to know your ratio

Edit Post

if you were 166 before the operation do you think you would have stopped at 5cm, in other words you went that extra cm due to your start height more than anything.

how would you rate the difficulty of going from 5cm to 6cm, i noticed your lengthening rate wasn't lowered a whole lot so i assume it can't be that bad.

Since you're too old to have grown naturally, do you foresee the change in height causing any issues when you renew your driver's license?

You look fine height wise, but you look high-kneed, just as I do in the thread with my pic in the proportions segment. I think 6-7cm can be accomplished on anyone, but it should be done 3cm tibia, 4cm femur, to prevent this high knee look. Just stands out so much, and there's not much you can do to hide it, since the joint is so exposed to the eye's view.

I think you could pull off femurs pretty easily as well. You might even look better with 5-6cm on femurs than you do now. If I could go back, it's what I'd do going to Mitkovic. Do femurs, then tibia while femurs consolidate.

im guessing your tib and femur are the same length, but i'd like to know.

personally i want to keep the ratio more natural so closer to 0.8, so in my case i may lean towards 5cm instead of 6cm lengthening.

wrong order. don't do it that way, tibia first and then femurs while tibia consolidate.

im doing both tibia and femur back to back with mitkovic.

if you have the money go to guitchet for femurs. the pain for external femurs is unbelievable. i don't recommend femurs for weaklings, its on a completely different level than tibias.
