Hi,

I'm 5'6.5 or 169 cm barefoot, ~168cm wingspan and 72cm inseam. Here is a pic:

So, my legs are super short despite the fact that i'm almost 5'7, I think other fellow 5'7 men look taller than me because of this short leg issue.

I'm thinking of doing LL to gain 5 or 6cm, there are however two questions:
1) femur or tibia?
2) internal or external?

Opinions are welcomed and also I would appreciate any help with doing mockups of 5cm gain on femur and 5cm on tibia

Imho both segments are in that specific spot that there is no clear choice which one to chose if you are thinking about proportions.

So i guess go for what suits you best but if i would need to chose i would go for internal femurs.

Femurs is the best option if you want to do 1 segment. And obviously internal.

What is your sitting height??? If you want femurs (what I WOULD RECOMMEND) do internals.

[Penguinn]

Femurs(always internals): Way more expensive, less pain, more comfort and convenience, less time
Tibias(always externals): Cheaper, more pain, less comfort and convenience, more time

Do you have lots of money and want to reduce pain and the time taken, or do you have a budget? Balance it out.

The most important things for me are minimize the chances of complications and which bone lengthened looks better (more proportionate).
I know almost nothing about proportions but I have the feeling that in my case longer tibia will look better than a longer femur.
BTW I would really appreciate if someone can help me with 2 mockups; one for tibia and another for femur.

Go for tibia, because your left shin seems to be longer then the right one.
Tibia lengthening would not only make you taller, but also even out the length discrepancy.

What is your sitting height?

My sitting height is 93.5 cm. Why?

[onemorefoot]

You have a very, but very long torso. You can do 3 inches in your femurs and still look well.

Or he has just pretty big buns.

By the front view, I would put my money on a big bum

If you got the money do internal femur. If money was not a issue I would be in Florida right know doing precise 2.
