Proportions: Former CLL patient

Edit Post

Here's a picture of a former CLL patient who lengthened his tibias 6 cm. He wishes to remain anonymous. What do you think of his proportions?

Hi is fine right now. But if he do more lengthening he would look disproportionate. His legs are long right now. And his tibia / femur ratio is around the same length

Edit Post

Not really noticable, he seems to have long arms though.
Wheight training is also a good way to avoid a disproportional look, he's a good example for this I think.

Tibia patients are generally harder to spot disproportion than femur patients. As another poster mentioned he has long arms so it masks any lengthening well. He could pull off maybe 4-5 cm femur max if he were to lengthen more.

I have to add that he shouldn't wear the socks in this picture, they let his tibs appear a little shorter than they acutally are.

You could instantly see that he did his tibias. The hypertrophy on his calfs is there. The lack of quad muscles on his thighs making him look like he has knock knees/X-legs. It's just not natural with knees that high up on a person.

It doesn't matter bc nobody would care anyway.
But these proportions doesn't occur naturally.

No, most people aren't even aware that this surgery exists. Maybe they'll spot that something is slightly "off" but I doubt it.

Doesn't anyone notice that he's wearing pants on his hips instead of waist? That's a perception trick used by Master Illusionist Apo. It does two things: 1) makes your legs visually appear shorter (specifically your femurs (one of the reasons you want to lengthen your femurs if you're going just for one surgery) 2) makes your torso appear longer. In the end, the difference can be quite noticable. Say, wearing your pants 5 cm below waist (approx) makes your femurs appear 5 cm shorter and your torso 5 cm longer. That's a 10 cm difference, which results in a big, albeit only visual, SH/H ratio change. Try sitting next time, if you want to get a real judge of your proportions.

I always wear my pants at the hips actually, that's goint to be a must if I lengthen my femurs anyway.

He has a super tall silhouette. But he'd look fine with some pants on, like that naturally long-legged guy posted here.
