Picture of me

Quote from: Deads on December 05, 2015, 10:31:45 PMYeah 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.

I think the middle picture (5+4) look the best.

What is your initial height btw ?

I agree with Uppland, I personally think that both pictures don´t look very good. I´d personally stick to 5-6cm´s on your femurs if I was you, this way you´d have a decent amount of gained height but your proportions won´t be affected to such a large degree.
Your torso looks somehwhat small in both pictures eventhough you are quit muscular, what´s your wheight btw?

I'm not following. So you're suggesting sticking to just 3-4cm total? I'm not going to do surgery for just 4cm's. I won't even notice a difference.

I'm 168cm currently.. I agree.

Alittletooshort: I am currently 82kg. I haven't trained my legs for the past 2 years as I am currently awaiting a hip surgery (just a bone spur needing to be shaved off). If my legs reflected my upper body, I'd be around the 87-90kg mark I would imagine.. I've made up my mind on the 9cm as I don't see anything wrong with the way I look in the mock up. I initially thought my tibs looked a tad long, but I think I'm so used to seeing myself short and wide that the extra length looked new and unfamiliar to me.. But after forgetting about how I used to look and focusing on the mockup as a unique picture with nothing to compare it to, it looks fine. If someone was to show me that pic with nothing to compare it to and ask me if I notice anything abnormal, I wouldn't be able to.

Yes, or perhaps 5 if you can handle it, don't you realize you will look worse after doing 7 cm+?

You will not be more attractive or well respected if your proportions are bad. Better then to be slightly shorter but better looking and more functional.

5cm fib and 4cm tib is probably the safest way to lengthen.. So functionality/athleticism shouldn't be an issue.. Proportions look fine to me in underwear. In clothes they'll even look better. I wear larger shirts due to my size and with that comes extra length in the shirts which make my torso look even longer than usual.. Trust me, I'm anal about proportions and if I didn't think I looked acceptable I wouldn't be going ahead with 9cm.

I will show everyone in good time that I will rock 9cm easily

It's your life, if you read the Q&A thread with doctor Franz though you'll see that he doesn't think 2 surgeries will yield any sort of functional benefit. Instead it will be even worse for your health, better to do one operation and call it, 2 is unrealistic anyway.

If you lengthened 4cm on your fibia as opposed to 8cm, logically it would yield a better recovery and therefore better quality functionality. Different people will react differently to the surgery, but it makes sense to spread your lengthening out over two portions. There is less trauma on individual portions and your leg proportions are better.. 2 surgeries at a conservative length of 4 and 5cm's is a very realistic prospect in my eyes.
