Hi everyone,  I am currently 163 cm, and thinking about 6,2 cm femur lengthening.  But thing that comes to my mind is propotion. For example,  if I do 6,5 cm on femur, will I end up with having the same femur size as the person who is naturally around 185 cm? What do you think?  Why people prefer femur lengthening and they don't afraid of having longer femurs than other natural tall people?

Than you for the reply)  exactly, I am thinking in the same way. Femur lengthening can help anyone to make his torso looks longer with longer shirt.

Thanks man for your detailed advice. I appreciate that. I wish i choose tibia lengthening ,but when I even wear my 5 cm elevator shoes, I am looking odd. Because of shorter femur at 163 cm. It is hard to hide prorportions with tibia lengthening compared to femur lengthening which can help you to  hide your longer femur if you wear an untucked shirt.
I know i have shorter tibia than my femur. And at my height, it is below average tibia height. But tibia is a bone that can be looking longer with lifts,but there is nothing for femur to make it look longer.  Recent times, some of my friends told me I have short femur and it looks childish. I wasn't surprised at all.
I already have a little lordosis mainly because of belly fat. With femur lengthening,it can be worse surely. Therefore, I am working to correct it before the surgery

Thanks, i will take into consideration your advice again
For now, I can't lengthen both bones because I have limited time and I can't afford that . But I will lengthen the another one in the future as my starting height is so short.
