Just curious to know example tibia and femurs have a safe limit obviously it changes based on what ever doctor you speak to but what is the safe limits for forearm and upper arm not sure if it’s called humerus if anyone knows please feel free to share.

Also I heard somewhere it’s easier and safer to lengthen to arms then it is with leg lengthening is that true.

Hello Friend
I read an article about limb extensions but for corrections of deformities and for dwarfism,
but it was necessary an evaluation because it varies a lot of person and it is logical that the umero - ulna and radius has minor bearing which limits this type of elongation. I never saw anyone who did for aesthetics.

and the name is
humerus - Arm
ulna and radius - forearm

What I can tell you according to a doctor I've talked to is that upper arm is possible to lengthen with a nail. Not so difficult. Limit depends on your height, health and lengthening distance. But forget forearm. Possible with external but many badly calculable risks. Its not worth it

Are you saying forearms are a no-go area for lengthening.

Also with what you said about the height also increasing the amount you can safely lengthen on average what is it like for every inch you can go say 1 inch from any height over 5’7 as an example

Yes forearms are No-Go. The risks are too high.
How much you can lengthen your upperarms depends on the proportion to  your forearms and to the rest of your body.  I can not say the exact limit in inches or cm because during conversation arm lengthening was a side issue. In cosmetic leg lengthening the limit per limb is 10-12 cm,  so  20-24 cm in total. But thats really extreme and many doctors deny such distances for good reasons. so try to convert that to your arm length including all important proportions of your body and  you should get an approximate estimation

So after reading this I’ve one more question is it odd if the upper arm is more longer then the forearm I mean my is smaller then my forearm but I don’t know if that’s the norm also do you know how arm lengthening effects the muscle you can build in arms

[6'2_dream]

say that the bigger the person the greater the possibility of stretching due to the simple fact that larger people have bigger tendons, it is a proportion ratio, small people have tendons and small muscles so stretching is proportionally smaller,
then in the arms there is no way to predict a safe elongation because it is not standard will depend on your current size and tendons, a doctor will analyze and can predict how much can be stretched and the probability that you can not stretch is great,
because the arm is much more sensitive than a leg you do not use the feet to write or eat so lose some sensitivity in the feet no problem already in the hands can harm you for the rest of life.

in the article that I read about stretching for corrections of deformities and dwarfism, I did have forearm stretching, but these patients already have the side effects of mobility problems so in case they have nothing to lose, but aesthetically it is very risky to lose a limb that works perfectly for pure cosmetics

So on that what would you say is the limit to when people notice your arms are short compared to your height

With arms down at your sides, as long as your hand can reach past your groin, your arms I think shouldn't look short compared to your height.

Here is a clear example of what short arms look like. It doesn't look like his hands could reach past his groin.

Ah right XD yea they are extremely noticeable what is his actual height do you know and thanks for showing me this makes me feel a lot better about mine with LL being considered

That's MMA fighter, Artem Lobov. He has a height of 175cm. His stats state his reach is 165cm. I am not familiar with MMA terminology, but maybe reach is the same as wingspan ?, so his wingspan is 165cm ?


Here is a photo of Artem Lobov(far right of image), standing next to Coonor Mcgregor. McGregor and Lobov appear to be of the same height, with the same torso and leg length, but Lobov's arms are definitely shorter compared to McGregors.

I assume reach is wingspan which means he’s basically 10 cm (4 inches) under his actual height lol so effectively if his arms aren’t being taken into question then it’s vary unlikely mine would be, also on that you’d think he did LL with that reach it’s actually strange to see

If you don't mind me asking, what's your height and wingspan?

With your arms at your sides, how far down do they reach ?

Personally I also think it's better to taller with shorter arms than being shorter in height and having proportioned arms. Height is something that people pay attention to or focus on not arm length. So unless your arms are freakishly short like wingspan under 15cm of your height and your arms can't reach past your waist. I wouldn't worry about it. Plus, if you workout, do bench press, shorter arms can give you an advantage.

My wingspan is almost 9 whole cms longer than my height. If I could, I would gladly trade a few cm from my wingspan and add them to my height to be taller.

I’m around 5’7 (171cm) my wingspan is 173cm I’d like to get to at least 5’11 over two surgeries 5 cm in both femurs and tibia

[mrblack]

I googled this fighter and his arms are really short but dont look that bad on other pics as in the pic above. I agree being taller with shorter arms is still much better than being short in height with huge arm length. Of course as long as its not extremely abnormal like more than 10 cm difference. Then I would suggest arm lengthening

[Moon knight]

So really I’d be ok to lengthen the 10 cm with my arms being ok I’m worried tho because shows add like 2-3 cm in height so I’d end up closer to 6’0 with like 173 cm arms would that still be ok

[mrblack]

You could make mockups to see how it looks. The fighter guy is 175 cm, he is not tall. I guess the taller you are the less conspicuous is the arm length for aesthetics exept you are far away from norm

[Valiant]

Do a mock up LL of yourself on ms paint. This is the only way now you will know how you will most likely look after LL surgery and get an idea of what your proportions will be.
