So I thought I would post here to see how my proportions are. I am a little over two years post lengthening on the Femur. I sometimes worry that my legs are long for my height but I have asked several of my friends and my parents and they all said my proportions look fine. I even measured my legs, and as a percentage of my height they only make up about 44.4% I was barely 5ft before the surgery and everyone who knows I had it said I look much better now. Even if I am slightly disproportionate now, I would rather be taller and disproportionate but closer to normally short than more proportionate and abnormally short.

I also wanted to add that my mom is 3+ Inches shorter than I am and her legs are much longer. My dad is only a little taller than I am and his legs are about 2-3 Inches longer.

I don't understand why you guys care about proportions. Your head and shoulders should be as high as possible. No one cares about the length of your legs.

I mean I understand it's not important to some people. I never even thought of proportions until I found this forum and that was about a year post surgery. I'm just curious about how my proportions are now. Even if my legs are long, I think I look a lot better now then I did before.

The pictures are post-surgery? Your proportions look completely fine. Nobody will notice a thing.

to be honest, i think you can do atleast 4-5 inches more (mostly in tibias, maybe 1-2 inches in femur).
The reason is, it looks like your torso is too big for your legs.

I see only one picture and it looks like pre-surgery.
Your legs are extremely short compared to your torso.
What is your inseam/body-height ratio?
More data, please.

yeah thats why i suggest only 1-2 in femur. I think given his low initial height, he needed more length
