Hi guys, i am 25 y o, my height is 177cm, wingspan 179 cm.
I want to do 5 cm on each segment. I did some mock ups but i dont' understand why on the 1st one i look good at 187 cm but on the 2nd one i look totally ugly. Maybe i did something wrong? What u think of my proportions? People always say i have broad shoulders (they are only 46-47 cm though) so my height to witdh ratio is not gonna be so bad but what worries me is my arm lenght and my torso lenght. Especially the torso lenght since AL is available now.
What do u think, guys? Can i pul off 187 cm height?

Yeah, I'd say you could pull it off. Your legs would look long, but not too long.

7.5cm should be the maximum. after that you are asking for trouble.

I assume you are only planning 1 surgery. and don't want 2.

I think you look great at 187. In the real world, very few people will analyze your arm length and torso length relative to your height, and, if they do, there are plenty of naturally tall people with very low sitting heights (although they obviously are not the majority). I am almost 180 as well and I know a 196CM guy with a genuinely lower sitting height than mine. I am 96CM sitting and he is around 94.5CM. He does have much longer arms, but my point is that nobody ever notices or comments on his ridiculously low sitting height besides me, and I only do it because I'm an LL forum member

thats what i was planning for years (7 cm on tibia + bowed legs correction would bring me to 185 cm which is great heihgt), but now im afraid of my tibias getting too long for the femurs so i started thinking of 2 operations (cross-lateral).

5cm on both segments is a realistic target and it seems you can pull it off without harming your proportions.

Do you have any actual plans to do the surgery? If so, which doctor(s) are you considering and why?
