proportions after my experience

Edit Post

Hello guys, i did around 7cm in femurs with fitbone internal nail. Before surgery my legs were short , my sitting height was 91cm  for 165, after surgery i have normal/short legs. I know that many people think about proportions , after this amount of lengthening i look perfectly normal and im very confident that i could do 5 cm in tibias and look normal too,with my legs a little bit in the long side, your arms are only going to look short if you do like 7 or 8 cm over your armspawn . the conclusion is that if you are short you could do more cm than you imagine and look perfectly normal, short people almost always are short legged,  dont think that much in proportions, because there is no worse disproportion than being short.

I'm similar stats thats why im asking

my femurs are a bit long now if you look to my tibias, but nothing strange and no one cares, them doesnt look weird.
  overall i look much better than before surgery. and my torso/legs proportion is much better now.
if you are short and you have normal proportions for a short person you are going to improve a lot your aesthetics with an amount like 7cm because most of short people has disproportionate short legs .

36.5cm tibia and 44.5 femur. You have to measure this by telemetry xray

91 sitting height + 36.5 tibias + 44.5 femurs = 172cm, and that's without counting the knee and feet.
Unless I miscalculated.

Yeah thats what the telemetry shows. I think that you could not add the sitting height for a correct measurement

We have to discount a possible magnification of around 10% . Its very common with those xrays.

Width of shoulders and hips.  Arm length and how low your arms hang-some people like my father have shorter necks and his arms started up higher than mine and ended higher despite being same length. Torso to legs.

It's still young in my post ll experience but I haven't noticed the sitting issue. Probably none of these things matter to other people but you should take your own perception into consideration because this is the body you will have for the rest of your life.

For my experience and what im trying to explain in this post Most people could do Leg lengthening without worrying with  proportions. Especially if they only do one segment. I did femurs. And im sure that if i do my tibias for 5 cm more i will continue looking normal. So guys. Dont think So much about proportions. Except if you have abnormal ones to begin with.

Iamready you Will look much better when you add some muscle to your legs.  At first with atrophy proportions doesnt look as good as when you recover your muscle mass. But yeah i think for most people around 12 cm is the limit.

So. Are you thinking to do arm lengthening?
