I had my consultation with doctor paley earlier today. It went really well and he was able to answer all my concerns which helped a lot. At this point the only thing that is holding me back is proportions. I was measured at 162cm. I have a wingspan of about 5'5 and a half. My femur is already long compared to my tibias and my torso is very small. He said my tibia is to femur ratio is about 3/4 and after the surgery it would be 2/3. After talking to someone yesterday who was currently lengthening, she said that she would recommend 6.5cm at the most. I have to say I really want the full 8cm because it would put me right at 5'7 which is the minimum height I would like to live with. Doing tibs and femurs is out of the question for me though. Anyway here is my mock up of 8cm. If someone with photoshop could please make me a mock up with 6.5cm I would really appreciate it! If anyone has any questions maybe I can help since Paley answered a bunch of mine today. Lmk what you guys think please. (BTW I will be editing this with my exact tibia and femur measurements tomorrow when paley emails me back).
Wingspan: 5'5 1/2
Height: 162cm
Tibia lengths: 34.
Femur lengths: 44.1
Torso height: 73.5
Typical femur ratio: 80-82%, mine starting is 77%

Thank you. Now i have to see what 6.5 would look like. I cant imagine 1cm making much of a difference proportion wise tho,

Ya not for 5. Just thinking if I want to be 5'6 with bad proportions or 5'4 with good ones. :/
