Quote from: TIBIKE200 on September 17, 2016, 08:14:05 PMThere is a pic on the old forum of someone who just completed a 8cm lengthening on his tibs. It looks horrible.
Can you find it ? I would be interested in seeing it.
But you can see, 5 posts higher, the picture of a model. His tibias look a bit longer than his femurs/or the same length.
He doesn't look very good, but I do think everyone here would prefer to be like him and taller than to remain in the same situation.
And as you said, 5 cms is not that much.

The good thing about lengthening femurs in my opinion (proportionally speaking) is that if you are not satisfied with the end result (height or tibs to femurs proportions) you can fix that by shoes or shoes+lifts when walking in the streets (since shoes make your shins appear longer). If you are dissatisfied with you having too long shins on the other hand... Well you can kiss goodbye to any boots or what not

Looks horrible, tibias are very delicated, 5-6  limit, femurs 6-7 limit, if you want to go beyond do both segments on each limb.

I guess femur 5,5 tibia 4,5 is like the perfect spot if you want to do 10cm.

That would be awesome, you could be good after that( maybe a little short arms), the problem is the money. Maybe doing internal femurs and 1 or 2 years after external tibias.

Problem for me is the time but yea it will cost a lot of money to do both segments....

Anyway guys don't trade your proportions away for more height like the guy mentioned above, no height is worth being a spider.

The main concern should be that tibia is not too short for femur, I think that an increase of 6-6.5 is not that big to be bad proportionated. Those who have done 10 on their femurs should be really creazy.

Indeed, he looks terrible. That's a big aesthetic failure, his tibias were already long enough.
