Hey guys, I am almost ready to do my surgery with Dr. Becker with the goal of 7cm

I am currently around 175
My femurs is around 46,8 cm my tibia around 39 - I guess I have a quite small ferrous so I think a fermur operations makes from the optic most sense.

My most concern was my wingspan with 176 what makes me -6 at the end of the operation.

On the Mockups I really like the look between the 6 - 8cm even 8cm a little more, far better that natural currently it think it is because I have In general small legs and more a bigger upper boady

Here are my mockups - with 6cm,8cm,10cm and 5 tibia + 8cm femurs https://imgur.com/a/IOCHCQD

What do you guys think?

Proportions are irrelevant unless you are stocky. I am a quad patient and I’ve seen many other patients and their arm length always looks normal or slightly off but within a normal range. The only time LL is noticeable is 8cm femurs nked or with shorts they look long, but the actual arms always look fine except for the stocky patients I’ve seen, they look like they have short arms sometimes because of the mass.

I would guess in 90%+ of cases proportions are completely fine for any person within 8cm. It really is only a consideration for quadrilateral and even than many people would look fine

yes I agree I think for me femur makes more sense because my tibia looks quite tall or what do you guys think?
