Proportions - Opinions [LL]

Edit Post

"No age requirements", "any height can be achieved with repeated surgeries", "no difference as prior to the surgery".

This doctor is except from greedy an irresponsible liar.
I really can't understand how someone would give so much money to a joke like him after all these and what we've seen from Unicorn and his behaviour towards her.

Jake avoid this doctor at all costs. After all with about the money he wants you can go to Paley or any other doctor in the world. Don't risk with doctors who only care about money.

Now I'm considering going to Dr Paley, however, since i'm going to have 2 surgeries (Femur+Tibia) which are separated over a year. I will have 7cm femur lengthening and 6cm Tibia. Because the max increase for femur is 8 and tibia is 6.5, so I thought why not have a little more? What do you guys think? Can my body handle these proportions? Also should I consider getting arm lengthening of 6.5 cm? So I can get a wingspan of 183 cm?

Don't do arm lengthening. It's a waste of money, time and functionality. It won't provide any benefit other than aesthetics, honestly it is not worth it. Just have your new height be over your wingspan and never think about it again. The more one thinks, the deeper they go into the hole.

The reason why I wish to increase my arm length is cuz I'm obsesed with proportions now.
I think my body can support an increase to 13~ cm
But as you can see in the picture, my arm length is relatively short, therefore, an arm length increase of 6.5 cm
Btw me and my friend who is around 6'2 have almost the same torso length, except his legs are so much longer, his arms are longer too.
I also have the same sitting height as another 6'2 friend, and I tower my friends of 5'7 (my height) while sitting.

In the picture I am about 185~cm
But my ideal height is between 181-183cm

I feel arm length is somewhat an important factor because when I tiptoe with my 6'2 friend, his arm length looks close to mine then, so if I got LL until 183 cm, my arm length would be shorter than his (while both standing up). However, I'm happy to get LL first and consider arm lengthening later in life, if there is a later.

Funny thing is, I've edited myself so much to have longer legs in pictures I send in this forum, and I've noticed how I look kinda more proportional in the edited pictures than my normal leg length. Any opinions? Thanks in advance!

BTW: The doctor that I will have surgery with (if I do), will be Dr Paley - I will try get it at age 17, and I will see whether that age is allowed or not, because I sent a long e-mail asking questions.

I'm very insecure about my height, not a day goes by without me thinking of height haha, and also; my gf (of 2 years) is 175cm~...

In the vast majority of cases, arm lengthening is unnecessary. You can do it if you want and it's generally safer than leg lengthening but realize you will only do it for yourself. Nobody in the world cares about your wingspan or proportions but you. It's only on your mind.

Do what you must. Not even a force-user would care about proportions. When I was 6 feet tall, they wouldn't even let me join the council. Now at 6 feet 4, my powers will never again be underestimated; the Jedi council is no more

I'm looking at your pictures and for some reason it looks like you lengthened your forearms in the mockup, did you indeed do this? No doctor offers forearm lengthening. I think arm lengthening is unnecessary and should only be done if your arms are noticeably short. Then again, no one even notices arm length in real life unless they're really looking, then again it will still be hard to tell. Also, you have a long humerus to forearm, so if you lengthen your humerus (because no doctor will offer forearm lengthening) then it will look odd. Arm lengthening benefits those who have long forearms/short humerus ratio. Of course, no one will most likely notice anyway.
