Hey guys,
I have recently joined the forum and im trying to get some help from you guys i hope i can get some ideas.So im 173 cm with 173 wingspan (which really worries me about proportions).And my sitting height is 91 cm(i didnt bother myself with sitting height since its more tolerable than wingspan and its not such a big deal) So i was thinking to get to 182 with 5 cm on femur and 4 on tib.Since my wingspan is same with my height i will be over 9 cms if i get that height.I really dont know what to do.182 was my max target height so thats why i am trying.Anyways i tried some mockups and it was not really ideal for proportions (it wasnt so bad with clothes but i cant spend my whole life in clothes so..).I tryed 5'11 (180 cm) and i cant make a decision on how it looks so i REALLY need help from you guys.ANY opinion is very appreciated.

I like the pics of you at 180.  Your legs look too long in the 182 pictures.  But 180 is a good height.  That's how tall I am in shoes, and you'd be that tall in bare feet which would be nice.

I personally prefer the look of elongated tibias rather than the look of elongated femurs, so if I were in your position I'd do 7cm on tibias and call it a day.

The 9+CM seem way to long. I'd do just 7 in one or 3+4 (3.5+3.5) and just call it a day. Most shoes give you 1 Or 2 cm.

Start with 5, see how you feel, if you feel like it go for 3 or 4 more. As stated earlier, proportions are not crucial. There are unproportional people everywhere. Nobody pays attention how tall your legs are. Of oourse I am not saying ppl should go for radical ideas such as 15+ cm but 10cm should be OK for everybody.

[Peaceout]

Thanks for the replys guys.Well i really dont know what to do.i really really want to get 182 but it might not be a good idea since it doesnt look really good, i know proportions are not crucial but i will have like -9 ape wingspan..  only if i had like 2 inches longer wingspan it could be much better but eh.. i even considered arm lengthening but its very dagerous i guess.

[Deads]

Your proportions actually look better at 182 in the pic with no clothes as opposed to the clothed one... If you wore a slightly longer shirt the jeans wouldn't make your legs look so long and lanky.

I recon go for 182 if you really want it. You do look a tad lanky, but it isn't anything too bad... Remember, your shoes will give you 1-2cm. So lengthen 7-8cm and you'll be 182-183cm with shoes on.

[Penguinn]

I think you look fine in the +7 femur and +4+5 pictures.
Good luck!

[Peaceout]

Thanks guys but im now wondering about my SH too.I know i said that its not so important but im doing more research on this forum and i get more depressed lol.. My current SH/H ratio is 52.5 it will be 50.5 at 5'11 (180) this and also my wingspan will be shorter.. Im very demoralised..  (My dad is 181 and my brother is 180 i didnt measure their SH but what if i look weird when i sit with them it will be like that for my whole life when i get my LL i cant stop thinking about this. ah crap..

btw, I don;t like to offend you, but before you consider LL, have you tried other means of improving your appearance. Like, have you ever been to the gym ? Have you ever did bench press/other exercises for chest ? Adding muscle mass will significantly make your body / arms / torse / look bigger and will be supplementing your longer legs. With that in mind, adding muscle mass to your legs is very important to do before the surgeries in order alleviate your muscles who will have to cover a broader area..

Yeah no problem man i appreciate.Well firstly yes im not in a good shape right know but thats not my priority because i have to be %100 sure about LL(even if im absolutely sure it wont be any time sooner than a year or something so ill start exercises streching,adding mass etc..) i cant be sure about my proportions im geting mad now i cant stop thinking about my sitting height which is roughly 92.I even dropped my target height to like 179 or even 178(so it will be like 5 cms)when i sit with some people i just keep comparing my sitting height to theirs. it really worries me if it will be weird after LL... like ill be taller than a guy with my old height when we stand up.But we will be same height when we sit.

Peaceout looks fine lol. Not everyone is built to destroy and conquer like Deads. +7cm on Peaceout's femurs will be transformative.

On the other hand, aspirant, before you consider LL yourself, maybe see a therapist? You're 178cm dude.

For perspective, I'm sitting here with 2 broken legs, 6 months of forgone earnings, and little sleep last few days from distraction pain.

[Alu]

Also I'd cross reference your true Inseam to heigh ratio. It gives you a slightly better view on how you can compare to people when standing up, which is what is most important.

[aspirant185]

You should not worry about your proportions too much. Just think about that - when you are at a a bar or a night club, full of ppl around you dancing, do you think girls will be able to see your legs at all ? Besides some people just have longer legs. Its OK, nobody will notice.

@PatientZero, thanks for the suggestion to visit a psychologist but I have made my mind that I would like to become 184-5 so I see no problem doing 6cm Femur, recovery is relatively quick. I just have to wait for an year to be able to collect some cash.  I am will need about 45k euro, 20k savings 10k loan from parents , 5k loan from the bank

Haha @PatientZero... I'm just a big wimp that lifts weights.

Can the OP get a loan somehow? Or is that not an option? Cause I would get a loan or financing for this surgery if possible.

Yes. You can get either a personal loan or a line of credit. However, the amount of loan they're going to lend you depends on your financial stability (income, credit score, etc.). Talk to your bank. If you decide to borrow, look around, haggle, and get the lowest interest rate as possible.

[spaghetti743]

I have a big line of credit. How do I turn that into LL money? If I withdraw it as cash I can only withdraw 15% of it in cash.

[aspirant185]

if you do not withdraw but wire the amount straight to your doctor, do you still have only 15% ?
