Quote from: Penguinn on December 04, 2015, 03:37:12 AMWhy would you not lengthen 8cm in one portion? A lot of problems(medical and visual) come because the femur becomes much longer than the tibia but that isn't a problem for you.

I don't want to lengthen more than 5cm on any portion. Recovery after 8cm sucks and I need to regain as much athleticism back in my legs in order to achieve my goals in the gym.. I will have the money to do two surgeries so I'm going to put my health first and spread the lengthening out over the two portions.

I can completely agree with that goal. It's mine as well. I then have to ask you which doctor are you considering for this. I myself was wholeheartedly considering going the route Iamready is going with of QL with Palely, but considering the cost and the proven credibility of other doctors I'm not quite sure the cost would be worth it honestly.

Dr Alex Monegal. Prices are great, the guy cares, he attends regular training and seminars with the manufacturers of Fitbone. Many success stories (haven't read anything bad yet). The hospital is practically brand new... And I guess I just get great vibes from him.

Two of his surgeries are only a little more than the cost of one surgery with Paley.. You also get more one on one time with Alex where as Paley is so successful that everyone wants a piece of him. Usually you are only talking to people who work under Paley.

My personal belief is that you could probably just lengthen 6.5-7cm in one segment and still look great.

That is pushing it to the limit.

5cm looks alright, not good, in tibias.

With 7cm, your calf muscles will explode and if you ever have to sit on your knees you will sit on your calf muscles and your feet will stick out behind your butt.
It won't look good.

All mock ups look bad, do one of 4 cm and one of 3 and see how it looks.

I've already thought about that combination. It would probably look perfect.. But I know when I fill my legs out that they won't look so long and lanky with the 9cm.

Devil dog; if I was going to do one portion it would be 6 on the fibs.. But opted for 2 portions

No I meant one where you lengthen 4 cm in one segment and another where you lengthen 3 cm.

This surgery will make you lankier but what I find to be the worst issue proportions wise is that your torso starts to look small even after just a few cm.

Yeah I know you meant a total of 7cm over two portions. I honestly think that 9cm will be fine. Especially when I build up my legs.. Torso looks ever so slightly short to me but not enough for people to point it out. Not even enough for me to be dissatisfied.

So.. I'm coming for you Uppland. You and me 5"10. (I know 177cm isn't 5"10. It's close enough though)

One picture where you are 4 cm taller and one where you are 3 cm taller. 7 cm will screw with your proportions and athleticism my friend.
