Some People here are making me literally laugh like they wanna lengthen 3cm n crap?? Seriously??no one will ever notice it not even you after some period.i love how people from old forum didnt give a crap about proportions and did good amount of lengthening.i know17 or 20cm may be too much(maybe i dont know but if they want then its great).like brother u wanted to grow taller.did u even care about your proportions before knowing there is such thing as limb lengthening?? And also did u even care how short or long one's arms,torso or legs are??All everyone cares is how good you look. Get it over people!!! Do whatever is your dream.*uck proportions know one will ever know or pointout!!

[Alittletooshort]

I don't see the problem with being cautios about proportions. There is a point where it gets obvious and If you've reached that point it's probably too late already. Also as long as you have natural proportions you run a lower risk of harming your bio mechanics (since the amount of gained length will be lower).
Reaching my dream height woud not be worth looking like a dwarf on tilts for me, but everyone is different I guess.

[Cartman]

Proportions are very important: no women on a man which is tall but looks like a cartoon character with too long legs. I also think that 3 cm is just a waste of money and pain. In my opinion, a single surgery is good for 7-10 cm max. I hope to reach 170-173 cm, no more, because at this height this feature of your body become secondary if compared to others (muscles, face, money, smartness, ecc...). Seriously, I don't want to be tall, just not short. 

[Uppland]

What's the point of being tall if you look weird and ugly?

I honestly think height is pointless unless your body can "carry it" so to speak. Better then to be short and well-proportioned.

So far OBG and maybe Christopherbuilder are the only ones I've seen with proportions that actually looks close to completely normal.

Guys, I'm on a self acceptance kick so my height neurosis meter is pretty low right now. Hopefully it stays this way, however, I'd like to throw in my two cents on this topic.

IMO, if you must go down the CLL path, there is a sweet spot for the amount of lengthening, which for most people, satisfies all three requirements mentioned: economically justifiable, biomechanics safety, and maintaining normal proportions.

That amount is 4-5 CM for 90% of people. Now two major factors must be taken into account, one is wingspan, the other is inseam/height. You should avoid being a significant outlier in either of those, which means keeping ape index above -1 inch, and keeping inseam/height below the magic 48%. The third factor is your tib/femur ratio. The closer it is to normal, the more noticeable your CLL will be when not wearing pants.

If you are average height, please think long and hard about this procedure. If you choose to accept yourself, you will be happier than refusing to accept yourself and going for CLL instead. You will just fund another aspect of yourself to scrutinize once you're done with lengthening.

These replies show that indeed people on this new forum are worried and are all about proportions.by the way weird and ugly?? U must be kidding no ones gonna look weird and ugly with 10 to 15 cm lengthening.y do peoplenon this forum be like your wingspan should not be shorter than your height?? Like seriously if ud think in that way even longer wingerspan than one's height comes under disproportionation.and also dont use terms like weird and ugly it aint gonna happen.speaking next thing i think wingspan n stuff is bull .Arms length matters the most but even then slightly shorter  arms aint mean nothing.but everyone has their own personal opinions so i cant say anything because at the end you are responsible for whatever you have done in your life.In simple way your life your choice and this is my personal opinion

Sorry for the late response, it took me a while to decipher your grammar.

I'd like you to show me someone who doesn't look weird and ugly after lengthening more than 10CM, now I realize you may have a higher tolerance for disproportion than me so I'll tell you what I consider weird: abnormaly long legs, small torso, short arms, narrow shoulders, unnatural tibia to femur ratio and a tall thin frame without enough width.

I don't get hung up on number, my wingspan is naturally 5CM shorter than my height, I care how it looks.

Height beats proportions, people are generally insecure with their height, not with their proportions

Most people don't worry about proportions (though perhaps they should) because most people are proportionate. Us lengtheners don't have that luxury.

[Emef]

Oh u are so fast Man,thought u would have taken much longer to decipher it.anyways kudos for your wonderful accomplishment and by the way u ask me proof right?? Guess what go to the older forum and check on dr.betz and dr.guichet diaries almost all of em had near to 10 cm lengthening and even greater than it.guess what they even have YouTube videos ,go n check yourself and u shall find your ultimate proof brother.

[Emef]

And by the way height>proportions any day! Unless I'm gonna look like t-Rex 

[Penguinn]

You have to find the right mark for yourself. I plan on lengthening 3 inches but I'm confident I'll look decent in it, at most I'll seem to have longer legs and I actually think that's a good thing, it'll be cool to have longer legs. (not that I care much)

After that it goes downhill. If I did 4-5 inches, I'd look noticeably bad with smaller arms/torso than any 5'7 guy. Everyone wants to gain as much as possible but the right mark for me is 3 inches. There are people who do 3cm and people who do 7 inches...

[Cartman]

I noticed that LL on tibias is better than LL on femurs for proportions: people which go for 10 cm on femurs look "strange" after the surgery, oppositely 8-10 cm on tibias are less noticeable. If you don't trust me, go on the dr. Salameh website and look to some men which did that: there are photos of people which did LL for 13 cm (yes, 13 cm!) in a single surgery and they look quite fine...

[Alittletooshort]

I haven´t seen a single video of someone who did 10 cm´s and who does fine (function and proportion wise). Could you post some links pls OP?
Andrewshizzle looks ok but he did 9 cm´s.

[Cartman]

Excuse me, what's the (aesthetic) difference between + 9 and + 10 cm? I'm not saying that people look fine after a single +10 cm surgery, I'm just saying that LL on tibias seems better than LL on femurs if you want to look not a lot out of you real proportions. It's similar to women which have mastoplasty: if they go for an enormous breast it will be very noticeable, for LL may be the same thing.

[hollandaa]

Guys please let me bust the lobg legs mythe. I live in the netherlands and i can tell you 6 ft is short over here. Im 5 ft 8 and i have the same upper body as my friend whose around 6,1. Dutch people just have long legs abd they look fine.so dont worry about your proportions because you only short because of short legs. If you dont believe just watch a random tv show and you will see that their sitting height is almost the same. Then google their height and you will see that their height varies a lot. Tall people just have taller legs in proportion.

[ayang080]

I am from Taiwan and I want to agree with holland

Although I am never doing LL
I can say from the love of basketball and study
I can tell you although you can never go wrong with long leg
tall guys who perform the best, 6'11+ so to say the most agile and overall skill
running stealing jumping dunking blocking
has a 1:1:1 ratio that is torso, fibula, tibia
or 1:2 ratio that is body to lower body(legs)

With the example of Generation player Anthony Davis 6'11, Thon maker 7'1, Bol Bol 6'11, chol marial 7'3, Giannis Antetokoumpo 6'11, Kevin Durant 6'10 are ones that are or projected to be prodigy
















here's the image of one in sitting





It's correct to say you wouldn't go wrong with long leg because they are extremely healthy,best, run like freak, fastest on floor if they steal, has a long stride of 7 feet +, can jump and catch at 12 feet, dive, coordinate enough to pass and shoot, they are 1:1:1 means every 1cm torso 2cm leg

here's a video

any other players are no match for them because they don't have their build

you can search up players in other videos, what do you think?
