Thats why he his wife is smoking hot and he has been living the life we all want to live, recently won a oscar, not saying that is a meassure of success but his arms clearly hasnt hindered him. He is a cool dude.

Yeah, short arms is only an issue if they look noticeably bad, but like we can alla attest: few people actually recognize arm length at all in real life. I know I never did, just assumed people were proportionate like everyone else does.

Even with my obsession about height and proportions, I still can't accurately gauge someone's arm span. 90% of the time I can get sometimes height to 1 inch though

I seriously don't understand thus obsession with proportions. I'm surprised people care at all--let alone to the extent they do.

that man in 2nd picture has really short arms, is he 5" taller than his wingspan?

just goes to show we really can look fine after a lot of LL.

His shoulder width is normal for his height, but his arm length appears to be quite short -almost stunted considering his hands are small as well.

-2inchwingspan to height ratio

tucodog · « **Reply #68 on:** June 07, 2015, 05:31:33 PM »

what does eveyrone think of those proportions.. wingspan 2 inches less than height

Uppland · « **Reply #69 on:** June 07, 2015, 07:29:37 PM »

I think it looks a bit odd honestly, perhaps shave off your goal a little?

microman · « **Reply #70 on:** June 07, 2015, 07:47:21 PM »

looks the same as the other guy i mentioned before hand.

tucodog · « **Reply #71 on:** June 07, 2015, 08:33:50 PM »

this isnt me btw.. this is a previous patient who did 5cm tibias.. but i agree with you microman, looks similar to second picture.. someone mentioned earlier that -2inch wingspan to height would look wierd.. i think it looks pretty normal to be honest. no normal person would ever notice

Sweden · « **Reply #72 on:** June 07, 2015, 11:22:03 PM »

Please don't exceed 6cm as the absolute maximum. 6cm is pushing it already in terms of recovery and proportions.

I did 7cm but should have stopped at 6cm.

11cm is just mental.....

Hey Tucodog are you also Descretuser?

The pictures look very similar from this topic you posted earlier.

http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=2282.msg36008#msg36008

I think your initial measurements must have been way off because there is no way that your tibia should look
that long compared to your femurs. I have been on these forums for nearly 3 years and have never seen anything like it.

This is probably the best idea, in all honesty. 6 cm on your tibias and 6 cm on your femurs should allow for good recovery and proportions. Of course, you could do more, but this should bring most forum members to average/above-average height.

I have never seen anyone do two surgeries and recover well.

KrP1 · « **Reply #77 on:** June 09, 2015, 02:55:06 PM »

Two surgeries are a lot of trauma for the body. Do only one segment except you are very very short

Alittletooshort · « **Reply #78 on:** June 09, 2015, 02:57:42 PM »

I clicked through the old forum and saw a running video of a guy who did two surgeries. It looked just horrible, way worse than the one of apo, which doesn't look good as well.

microman · « **Reply #79 on:** June 09, 2015, 03:28:28 PM »

can you link?

yeah is crazy still disabled? and yeah the guy was indian so really 5' 11" for him is more like 6' 4" in the US, a total nutjob.

Alittletooshort · « **Reply #80 on:** June 09, 2015, 05:43:37 PM »

I have no idea where exactly I found it, the guy seemed to be from the UK.

Is 159 very short? be honest. I want to do two surgeries but i still think about it

"Short" is dependant on the local average, where are you from?

Mw1245 · « **Reply #83 on:** June 09, 2015, 06:53:50 PM »

I dont want to say exactly where i am from but here is the male average height around 177 so i am 18 cm shorter ? from eu

Descreteuser · « **Reply #84 on:** June 09, 2015, 07:04:42 PM »

technically yes it is considered very short.

Sorry man that's really short, it doesn't mean you can't live a full life, you will however always be short regardless if you do the surgery or not.

Good luck, and keep your chin up. No one is completely happy with their body.

microman · « **Reply #86 on:** June 09, 2015, 08:07:48 PM »

I am 164.5 I would say I am very short, id say 160 is incredibly short, sadly.

are you sure you are 159, are you asian or indian?

Mw1245 · « **Reply #87 on:** June 09, 2015, 09:48:47 PM »

My motivation is going up to do this surgery.
Uppland I dont agree with you because when i do two surgeries around 7+7 i would be 173 and this is just -4 under the male average height in my country. The male average height here is 177 but in the most times i see guys they are around 170
microman i am be sure that i am 159 i have a friend and he is also around your height 165. I cant say that i see a big different between us but when we are really near for example at a party i can see the different. I am from a country where is the male average height around 172. I want to do next year the surgery with catagni tibia
And guys do you think i can go with two surgeries easier because i am very short ?

Wazzup · « **Reply #88 on:** June 09, 2015, 10:15:28 PM »

I am 165 and the average around here in Portugal is 1.74. Even knowing the younger generation is taller, I guess beeig 1.70 is enought for me.

Sadly, I guess I will forever be deciding between 6cm femurs or 4tibia+4femurs. My armspan is 1.72 and my sitting height is 88cm (i have no but doe). I'm only 19 years old, so I guess I still have some years to decide that.

Do you believe I am shorter than my mother and grandmother??? They are both 1.67... But on the other hand my father is only 1.57.

I will never be as tall as my 5 male cousins that are between 1.76-1.81. But at least I am taller than my female cousins (1.58-1.64).

You were saying that no men did both segments and recovered? You only need not to gl for crazy amounts. Here is a video of a men that did 2leg lenghtening for a total of 9 or 10cm:

https://m.

Ps: Today I saw a 2.10-2.20m men with a creepy voice, I thanked god beeing 55-45cm shorter

Ps2: proportions do kill future leg lenghters mind even knowing no one notices about them

Alittletooshort · « **Reply #89 on:** June 10, 2015, 04:35:51 AM »

His walking looks very unnatural, better do 7-7,5cm's on your femurs with a good Dr.and an internal device.

Mw1245 · « **Reply #90 on:** June 10, 2015, 06:04:05 AM »

it gives patients they did leg lengthening on both segments and recovered i think like exclide but i am not be sure
he has skinny legs too

Uppland · « **Reply #91 on:** June 10, 2015, 07:59:55 AM »

It was with that video in mind I said what I said. That is not a very good recovery, check out the users shyshy, chistopherbuilder and OBG for people who I consider have recovered well/acceptable.

His proportions look decent considering he lengthened such a large amount, I would not be satisfied with that look though.

Mw1245 · « **Reply #92 on:** June 10, 2015, 08:38:07 AM »

+6 tibia this guy is the same guy i think and his walking has not a really different between the other video if the videos are correctly

this guys did the surgery also on both segment
