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.
Why aren't people concerned about weird femur:tibia ratio?

Fully agreed. I'm 5ft9 and I'm not really looking to get super tall. 5cm (2 inches) would get me to 5ft11 and I'd be 6ft whenever I'm outside (wearing shoes). Even without shoes nobody would be able to tell the difference between 5ft11 and 6ft so I just wanna be able to say "I'm 6ft tall" without taking a lot of risks.

a spark of lucidity at a world where everyone is opting to get femur implants.
Tibias>Femurs aesthetics
maybe Tibs>femurs aesthetically for 5-6 cm tibs max, but 8cm then I think femurs > 8cm tibias for both aesthetic (avoiding the Heron look associated with long Tibs, and Tib/Fem ratio not so obvious). and medical reasons(less risk of arthritis, and no issues with ballerina).
BTW if u still feel short after 8cm then at least with Femurs U can wear lifts , but lifts on long tibs just exacerbate a disproportionate T/F ratio.
yeah thats why i went for tibias , 7 cm and i got fked lmao
i have a very hard time believing that was 5.5cm, looks at least 8cm
If you have to go for femurs, start strength training, doing deadlifts and squats. It will make femurs appear smaller
Quote from: betzbone1236 on August 01, 2023, 08:15:02 AMSome people are, while some people just care about getting taller. It just depends on the person. For me my original femur to tibia wasnt crazy different. So adding the height didnt make much difference in end. Some people have naturally long femurs either way
r u really saying that adding 12 cm to your femurs doesn´t make much of a difference?! 🤨😆
