[Repost from Height & Proportions http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=64967.0]

I have to decide if I want to lengthen my legs more or stop. I don't have much time, thus please reply quickly.

I'm worried that somebody may find out that I've lengthened my legs, because the proportions may be a bit off (I need to keep it in secret for my entire life)(I've been wearing lifts for 2 years) (Nobody knows about it). Here are my photos:

sitting by side (the most worrisome view):

(I'm worried that it can be seen on this photo that my torso is too short for such long thighs)

The other two:

front:

Measurements:
Starting:
height: 170 cm (5'7 inch)
inseam: 80.5 cm (2'7.7) (measured with notebook between leg and scrotum)
wingspan: 176.5 cm (5'9.5)
sitting height: 89cm (2'11)

Current:
height: 175 cm (5'9)
inseam: 85.5 cm (2'9.7) (measured with notebook between leg and scrotum)
wingspan: 176.5 cm (5'9.5)
sitting height: 89cm (2'11)

As you can see I've lengthened 5 cm. Doctor says with confidence that I can do more and I don't know if I should lengthen one more centimeter. I wish to have 6 cm in total. What do you think?

Quote from: Nestor on March 25, 2020, 10:11:43 PM Rational, I was in the exact same position as you, was freaking out about my proportions too, this can happen if you've spent a lot of time on you're own and focusing too much on small details that most people won't even notice. Your proportions look fine in that photo, that said you do need to accept the fact that your femurs are gonna look a little longer than they were before, the extra length has to go somewhere PLEASE HELP: Should I lengthen more or stop? Ultimately your decision has to be based on what you want to gain from it, you're doing this for yourself and your own happiness.


Thank you Nestor. I am truly grateful for your answer. I was on my own for three months now. I didn't have anybody to talk about that except my doctor, his assistant and physiotherapist. All of them were saying lately that the proportions are in fact fine. However, few days ago I started to make photos from sides. Then I realized that it seems to look a little bit off, so I obsess about it. Now I started to understand that it may not be a problem since nobody will ever notice that. Thus, I consider pursuing the 6 cm as I planned before. Thank You again  PLEASE HELP: Should I lengthen more or stop?
