Ok I've been following both ll forums for a while and the conclusion is that in orther to gain height you will allways loose something.
One segment:
Problem -> tibia to femur ratio
Two segments:
Benefit -> more height
Problem -> more expensive, more down time, wingspan to height ratio, sitting height to height ratio.
So know it is time for the femur vs tibia challenge. My conclusion is that it is very subjective and it depends on our starting pont. Beside the mock ups here are some points that made me want to go for femurs instead of tibias:
- you can use boots/insoles in orther to improve the tibia to femur ratio.
- you can use longer shirts in orther to appear to have a taller torso and smaller femurs
- less painfull
- smaller recovery time
But this is all irrelevant, what it matters is what no one ever talks! Biomechanically speaking imagine someone with an average tibia to femur ratio goes for +6,5cm. Where would walking flow better? Both perfecg? Femur? Tibia?
Why everybody talks about proportions and no one ever talks on how walking flows in the long term (+3 years after operation). Will he feal that something isn't right? Or will it be completely normal?
This is my major concern. For more that I hate beeing short I do not want to do this operation if I have to live the rest of my life knowing that walking doesn't go 100% as it used to.
Thank you all, Wazzup
What your saying can go both ways. I can use your point of view and say": according to other animals we are the only ones that use shoes and we weren't made to use them. So lenghtening femurs in 6 cm would be like correcting the +2cm from shoes and only +4 in femurs.
Even knowing my armspan is +7cm than my original height I believe that in my casr going beyond +6,5cm in total would be too much for my sitting height (88cm but no butt doe)
What do you think of my proportions: first picture is just me, second and thrid picture is me plus 6,7 and forth picture is me plus 10,8. I know that I need to gain some fat and some muscle.

Where do you think I look better. This is really important to me, thank you all 
Only 1,65 and the average here is 1,73 I don't want to be tall i just don't want to be short. You want to hear something funny. You all complain that men must tower women, well that is not true!
I've already datted taller women and my mother is 10cm or 4 inches taller than my father. My mother is 1,67 when my father is only 1,57. And i must say my father was sucessful in life and never showed signs of height neurosis.
From my mothers side everybody is tall, even my 80years old grandmother is taller than me

Quote from: Blackhawk on January 20, 2015, 05:14:07 AMI'm 167, the average where I live is 176 I think. I would be happy also being around average.
Beeing average is more that ok. I would even say that it is a bit non-sense to go through all this if you are already near average.
I allways laugh when some dude come here and says. The differance between 1,75 to 182 is much bigger than from 1,65 to 1,72. Well serious are you fuxking serious!
I doubt you all 1,80 that want to do leg lenghtenig prefer winter over summer, only becuase during summer you can't use boots in orther to appear 3cm taller 
With plus 6,5 and boots i will be 1,75! My ratios will be ok and It will be perfect. Just imagening beeing taller than my grand-mother and mother and also 90% of women around here will be more than enough!!! I really don't want to ruin my biomechanics, proportions and my long term health because of 3 extra cm.

Actually I'm an European from Portugal. It appears that the link is broken. So here it is again, what you think

Ok i do not want to be called that because of the spider legs i would have after leg lenghtening. So u all agree that 3 picture is the best.
Well so lets just finish college beg parents for half the money, work or get a loan for the other half and go with Dr.Guichet. Main problem might be on how to gain some muscles and fat on my legs, I've allways been thin.
Would be nice if other people come here to share theirs opinions. The more the best! Ahah thank you all! http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=beae9b0
Hi TomD not 100% sure if you are serious or trolling. But if i had to bet i would say you are joking.
None of the mock ups are 13,5cms and the link is broken, so here is the new one.
