Do you think I would look proportional with 8 cm on femurs and 3.3 cm on the tibias?  The wingspan is 5 foot 7 inches conservatively, and weight is 147 lbs.

I think my arm span is the biggest issue, what do you think my sitting height is like 88cm or so.

Am I proportional?

I agree that would help with filling out the shoulders and the upper body.  However, what about the arms?  Would they be too short?  I don’t want to lengthen arms unless I really have too.

I am most likely going to end up using Paley but I am also strongly considering mahoubian as well.  I plan on doing femurs in a little under 3 years from now after I can save up the rest of the money needed for the procedure and then 1-2 years after perform the tibia procedure and see how much I can lengthening Tobias to keep proportions in check.

I know paley is a lot but he is considered the best and I don’t mind saving for 3 years if it means I can get the procedure with him.  Price is why I am considering mahoubian as well though.

Thank you so much for the input.  my wingspan is 5 Foot 7 inches, my starting height is 5 foot 5.25 inches in the morning.  I would be 5 Foot 8.35 inches with femur surgery, and if I do both femur and tibia I would be 5 foot 9.5 inches.  The image in my first post is me at 5 Foot 9.5 inches with my 5 foot 7 inch wingspan but I am concerned that it looks too short, considering that I would also be wearing shoes.  barefoot I would have a -2.5 inch ape index and IDK if that would be noticeable.

Also, if you do a second surgery are you going to get it with Dr. Mahoubian as well?
