I only want to lengthen like 6 cm, I'm not greedy, but I don't want to look like I have baby tibias.

This pic doesn't look too good to me tbh. And he only did 5.5 cm apparently.
Either I have to do both tibia and femur or just accept that I"ll have this proportion :/
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on January 14, 2023, 09:34:08 PMYeah, that caterpillar leg look femur patients get is not an asthetically pleasing one.
It's one of the reasons I went for tibias.
This would alone convince me to do tibias. Can most normal proportion people do tibias and be fine? Honestly seeing some of these femur proportions is killing my hope.
Quote from: Ak95 on January 14, 2023, 09:47:49 PMhe has definitely extended more than 5.5 cm. I've seen people who have lengthened 5-7 cm and it didn't look that bad
You saw them with or without clothes on. I know clothes can hide these things but I also want to look good nked.

This is relieving to hear. Whoever posted this thread claims it was 5.5 cm.

Seems weird that they would conjure that number out of thin air, but people do weird things. I’m probably going to try to track down the original place this was posted to investigate.
Quote from: 1team on January 14, 2023, 11:22:14 PMThe proportions don't matter type people are either trying to justify their more extreme lengthening goals and are ignorant of various studies/reality that most humans are around 0.8 tibia/femur ratio.
Other reason is viewing their body like any other item. They have spent a large amount of money for surgery and they want "to make it worth it". This usually means very large to extreme lengthenings which will give odd proportions.
I agree with this. But given that you acknowledge that, would you say people who do a typical 2-3” lengthening end up looking okay?
It’s been done, but it’s not recommended because it’s extremely difficult apparently.
Most people who get the procedure just get one segment, not both. Of course proportion-wise it's better to do both segments, but most people sacrifice ideal proportions for the ease of not doing two surgeries
Some guys on here have done about 3" on tibias, but most doctors would not recommend going over 5 or 6 cm. I'm probably going to go 5cm on tibias.
Quote from: newLLperson on February 09, 2023, 03:17:43 AMI've been researching more and what you said is what I keep reading (5-6cm max on tibias). I doubt it'd be worth taking more risks for a centimeter so I guess I'd stop at 5cm on tibias too.
So could this be the best formula?: good surgeon + internal + 5cm on tibia + unrushed lengthening
I think it depends on how tall you are right now. If I was 2 inches shorter, I'd be more inclined to go femurs for more lengthening, screw proportions.
But for my situation, yes, I've come to the same conclusion. Don't skimp on money, get a good surgeon.
5cm tibias may cause more complications than, say, 5cm femurs, but proportions are worth that added risk imo. I want to be comfortable in my body and how I look.
