Hey, I've already written here, but without mockup photos.
So, here we go. My height is 174cm.

Me now: http://imgur.com/a/XJzrF
With 6cm on tibia: http://imgur.com/a/Wn2Di
With 6 cm on femur: http://imgur.com/a/pXPJZ
And with 6 cm on tibia and femur: http://imgur.com/a/t496x (two operations)

What do you think about my proportions?
Would 12 cm be too much?

Every comment could help

Torso-legs proportions are pretty alright. The problem are your arms.

What is your arm length?

[Alessov]

Well, 174cm

[YourSpaceBoyfriend]

I don't mean your wingspan, i mean your actual arm length. From the tip of your middle finger.

I have 175 wingspan but im pretty skinny so most of it come from my long arms(comparing to my 166cm of height).

[Alessov]

I measured it now
It's about 76-77cm.

[YourSpaceBoyfriend]

So we are pretty similar, except im just shorter than you lol.

If you don't mind your arms being more on the shorter side you can aim for 10cm at best(at least in my opinion). You will get significantly better recovery for going 5cm per segment and jump from downside 5'9 to solid 6' is pretty neat.

Thankss
So, you think 5 cm on femur and tibia would be fine?
I don't mind if my arms are on the shorter side as long as it's not that noticable.
I would be very happy if I reach 6'.
It's not going to be very disproportionately in your opition?

[onemorefoot]

10 cm more is good, but 2 operations is a lot, would you be happy at 180 ( with 6 on your tibias or femurs)?

In my country it's still above the average which is 181cm. But at 180cm I would be satisfied, really.
Altough I would really like to be 184, 185. I'll do one operation, and then I'll see I guess.
It that case, I'd go with 6cm on femur.

And one question. I've read that the period between two operations should be at least one year. Is that right?

[onemorefoot]

Yeah,  if you check some quadrilateral operations( which is not recommended) you will notice that most of that people has a recovery of more than a year, in your case if you want 6 in femurs, you should wait almost or a year to be fully recovered.

Yea, sure.
But I think I could have second operation done after one year. Because 5cm is not that much.
Then, I'd do second operation, 5cm on tibia. I guess after doing 5cm on tibia I can recover in 6 months.
So this whole process would last for a year and a half. Am I right?

[onemorefoot]

You have to consider possible complications, but if we see this without that, 5 cm with internal nails can be achieved in 2 months, after that you will have to wait other 5-6 months to be really recovered and you could do second operation without problems. Your approximation is very real, give or take a couple of months.

[onemorefoot]

Removal of nails is 1 year post.op, but there is not problem if you do second operation before. You should check Cooper diaries, he did femurs and after tibias.

[ll3ll]

If you're just looking for feedback on cosmesis, in terms of legs:torso ratio it's no question in my opinion, you look more normal to me with both segments lengthened. It is true though your arms do seem short, so that would kinda be up to you, but overall looks pretty sweet to me!

Yea, I haven't considered possible complications, but if we exclude them, it would take about a year and a half.

I'll check Cooper diaries, thank you!

Thanks! Yea, I know I have pretty long torso compared to my height, and not that long arms.
But I think it wouldn't be that noticeable, at least, less noticeable than my torso/legs ration now. Haha
