Hey guys I’m currently 5’2
Wingspan: 5’2
Average body, leg ratios I.e I do not have abnormally long/short tibias/femurs.

Im currently thinking to do this surgery this year and due to my height being relatively short, do you think it’s worth doing 2 inches in both femurs and tibias (1 year apart) or just do femurs 8cm? I don’t have a specific “number” that I want to reach. As an Asian dude all my family and friends are not that “tall”. The reason I want to undergo this surgery is to blend in more with my community. Should I do both segments for better proportions? If I do 2 inches in each I would have a shorter wingspan of around 10cm. Would that look oddly wierd? Or should I go for 5cm femurs and 3-4cm tibias.

Also, let’s assume money isn’t an issue and let’s leave paley out the equation, my top surgeons are, in order donghoon Lee, dr mahboubian, giotikas. What do you guys think is the best surgeon I should go for? I’d rather pay a little extra and get a good surgeon then get problems in the future. Thanks for you help! Proportions: need help

So do you think it’s better to do 2+2 or 8cm in just femur?
Also is weight bearing with g nail really worth it over Lee or other American drs?
