Title: Is increasing 10cm a rational choice?
Post by: 7 rings on December 18, 2018, 05:19:55 AM
Age: 28
Starting height: 169.5cm-171cm
wingspan:170cm±0.5cm
Original Goal:femur 5cm + tibia 5cm

According to my observation, the increase of 8cm was still coordinated, and the arm was shorter at 8.5cm


After studying for two months in BBS, it seems that people do not recommend height more than 5cm above wingspan


Now I am faced with a choice. To pursue a 10cm height increase will lose money and time as well as the body proportion, but at the same time I will get the best femur to tibia ratio and realize the ideal of 180cm


I'd like to hear your Suggestions


Which is better, the external tibia 5-6cm or the internal femur 5cm+ the external tibia 5cm



For an extension of 10cm other people in my life have found that my hands are shorter than my height and that's very rare and most of the time they just think my legs are long and that's why I'm faced with this choice



(please note that the above comes from Google translation. I'm sorry for the improper expression.)


Thank you for your answers

Just do it. I'm doing 10cm cross lengthening too. 5cm femur/5cm tibia.

This whole body proportion seems to be blown out of proportion, mind the pun. Unless you're an athlete and are thinking of being an athlete after surgery. A 10cm increase won't affect you in any way. Only thing that will change is that you can't touch your toes anymore, how often do you do that.

Your arms will still touch your thighs the same place they do now. If your legs do look a lot longer than your torso just wear t-shirts that are a bit longer in length which is normal too. (It doesn't make sense but lengthening your legs will make your arms look longer too, you'll give the illusion that your arms reach all the way down to your thighs)

10cm is nothing. There are women that wear 4 inch heels to work every day and they're fine.

I already know clearly that I want 180~181cm


When I get the schengen visa successfully and start the operation, I will write a diary to share with those who need it

schengen visa, I suppose you are going for a european LL doctor? which and when?

I prefer the Athenian doctor Giotikas

The time is uncertain

Maybe this summer or maybe next spring

friend if you can do the surgery, do this, logically the wingspan interferes a bit on the final look, but I think it's not that much, I think if you're happy it does not matter

Yellow men usually have the same wingspan as their height

The disproportion starts at 6cm (of course our eyes are trained)

The increase of 5-6cm is visually coordinated

But I want to have a healthy femur to tibia ratio that requires surgery on both the upper and lower legs

Because I don't want to increase my risk of arthritis

It was frustrating that after learning in BBS and watching some real pictures, my insight became very good, and I could even see the arm length difference caused by the difference of 5cm height

Maybe no one could see that I had the 10cm surgery

But for me the knot in my heart caused by the length of my arm will probably always be there

this short-arm perseverance only occurs when the person has their arms naturally short,
when your arms when relaxed are above the waist, in case of leg stretching the arms are already at hip height or lower still so it is not the same relation, so I always speak here the important thing is you to have your arms at the waist or lower, what you will count is this proportion of the arms in relation to the change
comparing a person with 188cm of height and 188cm of wingspan, and a person who did LL and now has 188cm of height and 183cm of wingspan the difference of arms of the two people are only 2.5cm

When I put my arms on either side of my thighs the proportions are in harmony

I will first use TSF for tibia surgery

Then consider whether to perform femoral surgery

Maybe give up because of the pain? ^_^

What's your sitting height?

What's your sitting height?

≈93~95cm

It is not easy to measure alone

I only know a rough figure

I don't care about proportion. I prefere be tall without proportional than be short proportional.

My goal is 8cm in femurs and 7cm in tibia, but I could change for less if problems arise.
