Lengthening 5 inches??
« on: August 01, 2017, 04:50:44 AM »

I would like to lengthen at least 5 inches, i know its not really possible to do that in 1 surgery or on 1 segment so i need to know the best way to divide it up as far as safety (for example 2.5 in on both tibia and femurs, or 3 on femurs 3 on tibias, or vice versa) idk but i need to find out the safest way. Also a good recomendation for a doctor would be helpful too if possible

After 5-6 inches of lengthening u will look like dwarf on stilts.

And im not even mentioning your basic mechanical function after it.

Im currently 5'8 with a 5'11 wingspan so after i do the surgery id be 6'1 with a 5'11 so my arms wouldnt be that short. My torso however would be short but it wont be very noticeable

You could just do one lengthening on femurs for 3 inches and get to a good height. Plus it goes good with your arm span.

Wingspan is a bs that people here keep thinking as the ultimate guide of good proportions after LL.
If you don't have broad shoulders and a not short torso compared to your feet before LL, wingspan means nothing and you going to look bad after LL.
And the majority of people who lengthen 5 inches won't look good so it is hard for you to be an exception.

Well i do have broad shoulders but a pretty short torso so i realize that my legs would be freakishly long with 5 more inches as theyre already long but i wear big shirts so im pretty sure it wouldnt be noticeable with a shirt on
