Hello to all of you!

I just did a mock-up on my tibs for different ranges (5-6-7 cms), and was wondering what you guys think about the proportions over all??
do you think 7 cms would through my proportions off?
In my opinion, 6 cms look the best.

Thanks for the response, InStrydeMyFaith!



Yes, you're right 7 cm looks really off when compared to my original femur length and also wingspan.
at first I was planing to do 2 surgeries with 10 years of gap between each ( i'm in my early twenties), but It just doesn't seem to be worth it for several reasons, one of them being my wingspan. I have a wingspan equal to my height( 5' eight) and additional 4 inches would make me look like a T-rex lol. So, most probably i'll do 5.5 cms if 6cm is pushing it also.

Best wishes,

I see, So is it safe to lengthen the tibias 7 cm proportion wise? since the difference between my height and wingspan would be 7cm? I'm kinda fixed on numbers, so I consider 5'11 tall, and 5'10 average. I'm feel like my height dysphobia will still persist if I don't get to 5'11, even if it means that I have to sacrifice some sort of a balance in proportions.

Regards,
