Hey folks,

so currently my height and wingspan are exactly the same (1:1). How many cm can I get in tibias without looking weird? I am thinking 6-6.5cm would that be okay looks wise?

you don t get T-rex arms with tibias

it oculd be unusual if you have a Tibia to Femur ratio significantly below 70%

Just don't do tibias. They heal way slower, have a much higher complication rate and the height potiental is lower. Lengthening above 5-6 cm is gambling with your health for minimum gain. You might think about proportions but other don't.

6cm+ on tibias might be unsafe. Lengthen and observe though. You should have just done 8cm on femurs, tbh. Now you're wanting to do a whole other surgery that is more unsafe than the previous one

Yes. I know. That’s why I said you “should have” done 8cm on femurs.

But to answer your other question, I think you would be fine proportions wise if you did 6cm on tibias.

6cm more will look fine until you reveal where your hip is, so when you tuck your shirt in, or go without a shirt proportions will probably look noticeable

so keep monitoring yourself and stop when you think it is too much

Dealing with this right now. Did tibias after femurs and the extra height is definitely worth it but my arms are noticeable smaller (at least to me). Will probably get humerus lengthening in the next year so I won't have to worry about it.
