I know this is random but Apotheosis's femurs look really bad, and I've seen other cosmetic limb lengthening pictures with people who had thin femurs like him after doing the surgery. I guess mine will look bad as well? Oh great I don't even know how much I should lengthen to begin with and I don't even know if I will even be satisfied. Guys, what should I do?
he doesn't look unproportioned at all, if you look at male models, lots of them have longer legs than usual, sure there are lots of men with 6'1 frame, but most model chosen because they have disproportioned legs that make them looks taller and slimmer, i know this from my friends who work at modeling agency
I don't personally think he looks any different. He's certainly not someone I would look at and automatically notice had these proportions. The only thing that does concern me which several people brought up is the sitting height. Although I do wonder if it is something that the general population would really notice. For Apotheosis, it may be somewhat noticeable but in the interview he did with 20/20 I could not see a major difference between him and the interviewer. Obviously we are aware of it because it has come to our attention, but with things such as slouching would sitting height really be a big deal...
Of course, the biggest issue with anyone lengthening the amount Apotheosis did is the range of lifelong problems you will have afterward. His potential for developing arthritis later down the line is higher than it would have been due to the extent of how much he lengthened as well as the increased pressure on his joints.

Wouldn't he have the same, or less, pressure on his joints as someone that naturally had legs that long? There are many very tall people who do not get arthritis.
Maybe his IM nails may have messed up his joints, though.

Dr. Rozbruch said that going beyond 8cm increases the risk of arthritis because of the change in the ratio on the lengthened bone and excess pressure on the joints. Dr. Birkholtz said that arthritis developing after lengthening is likely due to increased joint pressures and related to the extent of the lengthening.
I'm not into pedantic measurements of a proportional person based on actually measuring the cm, but I just by eyeballing, he looks good.
But I think the more important issue is what Kilokahn said: "what's the long-term effect?"
The long term effects are definetely the most concerning issue here. I saw another girl's picture which I have attached. She lengthened both her Tibia and Femur bones. She looks perfectly fine to me, it just appears she's one of those girls who's "all legs" which the last time I checked was a compliment!
I meant the long term affects when it comes to Apotheosis for lengthening well over the recommended amount, I'm not referring to the lady in the picture---just to clarify
