Pre-OP 179 - 181 to Post OP 191 Proportions
« on: November 05, 2024, 01:46:49 AM »
I have a 6'4 wingspan so thats my limit of lengthening 190 - 193

Someone will probably tell me ohh I'm already at a good height yeah idc buddy i want to be 6'3

181 is my morning height
179 my night height

I have a fairly long torso and short tibias ideally i want most of my lengthening going to my tibias like 7cms to tibias and 3 to femurs.

But i've heard lengthening tibias is rather dangerous which is extremely unfortunate.

Bad idea. If you want to make 10 cm, you'd better make 4.5-5.0 cm for tibia and 5.0-5.5 cm for femur. 5 cm on Tibia is the safety limit.

It is not that tibias are more dangerous (life treating), they heal more slowly, and complications begin at less cm´s of lengthening vs femur, so they are complex, but a good doctor can do it

you mention your proportions, you know your sitting height and your inseam/height ratio  ? usually .45 to .46 is the average
