Something to think about in terms of proportions- the "golden ratio"

Quote from: 6FeetSoon on January 31, 2017, 09:01:47 PMMock ups are amateurish (rozbruch hates them). He believes boots with a lift are a much better indicator of tibial distraction than a virtual simulation. He also believes that additional height should be proportional to starting height for best aesthetic results. So you can sit here and postulate all you want... i'm gonna go with the guy who's been doing this forever.

Alright that's fine. The basis for me stating the mock-ups was just to highlight how some guys already have naturally longer legs then others, regardless of what height they are at. It's the way it is; which is something you seemed to avoid admitting indirectly. But enough.

Alright let's hug it out.
Now, Can we marvel at how awesome Sam looks before and after? Not a hint of modification if we didnt know before hand.

Duly noted. Which is why I have to ask, but feel free to abandon this thread for yours, did Rozbruch connect you with former patients?

He has past patients who are happy to connect with incoming patients, so yes, but it's not something he actively advertises. I have to emphasize how super helpful it is to sit and meet patients who've gone through it all and come out looking great

Last thing I'll say, we've derailed this thread long enough and we should be taking about this in your diary, but how many and is this option only open to guaranteed patients or a prospective patient?

Hahah we have. Three in total. And its allowed once you've been approved by Dr. Westrich

Eh, screw this thread anyway, the other guys were (kinda) right, I do think naturally this forum overplays the absolute importance of height though.

Like at 5'8 I've never had a woman turn me down expressly for height. I've been told "I'd be attracted to you if you were a couple of inches taller" a couple of times though, but I wasn't sure if that was just a  ty way of flirting. Oh yeah and despite this thread I'm not the super vain type, more shy, nerdy and skinny haha.

And I stand by what I said about the leg- torso ratio, this guy in town today looked seriously bizarre, his legs were like twice as long as his torso.

The dude in the photo looks really good. Hope my results are as good as that. Looks like he did femurs. I was thinking of doing 7 cm on my femurs; my tibias are 39-40 cm and my femurs are 40-41 cm as far as I remember. Do you think that'd look off balance?

Edit Post

Femurs usually are longer than tibias so you should be fine.

Tbh your femurs aren't that long comparing to your tibias.

Edit Post

Are you certain about your measurements? i'd have to check with the doc to see what percentile you're in but your tibias are incredibly long with respect to your femurs (or femurs short to tibia etc)
Usual ratio is something like 75-80%.
Rozbruch said i fell right in the middle of proportions: image of ratio below.

I have pretty short femurs comparing to my tibias too (33-34cm tibias 37-38cm femurs) so i guess it's possible.

Probably the best way to get proper measurements will be getting x-rays.
