As always I obsess over my (potential) proportions and I find that there is a fine line between a tall handsome build with long legs and a weird awkward one. My legs can handle about 6-8CM of extra height (plus 3CM shoes) before that line is crossed and awkwardness ensues.
My "true" inseam is about 46% and with an increase of 7CM it would rise to a bit over 48%, which is quite long.
Combined with my small frame I look something like this:

Except, you know, not asian.
What are your thoughts?
How much more leg length can your proportions handle?
Should I lengthen less or go for my goal of 7-8CM whilst risking looking strange?

Hi Uppland
I don't see any problem in that guy. Actually, I will be so happy if I am that tall.
I haven't seen your photo but think you will be totally fine with 7 cm increase, unless you have too short arm or/and too short tibia, if you do 7 cm femur, which are kind of my problems.
So go for it, if you can afford time and money!
-
A leg length of anything over 48% of my total height is a no-no.
-
I'd be ecstatic to be 7CM taller with those proportions!
-

Yes, seems like that would be the max ratio.
@Taller and Ghostfish.
Really?
I'll post another picture to clarify.

It doesn't look bad in my opinion, your arms will be the problem I guess.
-
i think the guy looks decent
But why not sticking with 5 cm, if you really think going beyond 6 cm will alter you proportions, plus all the risks that will exponentially increase, don't do more than 5 cm
-

Believe it or not they're not as big of a deal as I thought they would be. They can appear stumpy if you really look for it but surprisingly enough they look very normal most of the time.

For the same reason you won't stick with just being 183CM I guess.

If your arms can handle it, than go for it. This guy looks pretty aesthetic in my opinion, long legged but not akwardly long.
-

It's not very nice to talk down on someone who's shorter than you, especially because you have height neurosis yourself, and even more because you are on a forum full of people with height neurosis.
Hope that comment to Uppland made you feel better about yourself Mr 6 footer. Once you are are 6' 2" than you can look down on 97% of people and feel really good about yourself friend
: )
Btw Uppland, I know this means nothing to you, but I think you are already a great height. I would love to have an extra 2-3 CMs of height and be your height. No need for me to be 188CM, or even 183CM. Just extra wasted space.
-

I'm merely commenting that neither of us want to settle for 183CM, so we are of one mind here.
Although I wouldn't consider the surgery had I grown another 5CM naturally, but if I'm doing it I would like to gain as much as I can under the circumstances.

Yes well, I look like that while wearing my pants kind of low, maybe my legs aren't quite that long but you get the point.
-
Uppland, If I was you I'd set my goal for 6cm's and check the proportions after this length has been accieved. After 6cm's you'd be at a very respectable height of 185. Later you could still decide to get the last 1-2cm's.
At least this would be my approach to this, I have the same starting height so our situation is quit comparable.

Exellent, although my dream height is 187 as that is my dads height.
I suppose we all make concessions however.

Here's a proportion pic I found that is interesting. Notice how the second tallest guy has the shortest torso, and also short arms compared to the guy all the way on the left, and the shortest guy (all the way on the left, but it's close) has a pretty long torso
(http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=JN.y%2f4xoU%2bxPaLB34Jv9FqgTw&w=150&h=92&c=7&p=0&dpr=3&pid=1.7)

It could be just the picture: angle, height, tilt, distortion, etc. I've taken many group pictures like that and I can say that I wouldn't be surprised if the tallest guy in that pic turned out to not be the tallest, or the guy on the left was actually the 2nd tallest. Also the torso thing you mentioned could be down to how low/high they are wearing their bottoms.
You can only compare when you have isolated pictures of each of them 1 by 1 taken exactly in the same way with tape cross (or tape measurements) for reference.
If you think that a guy has slightly odd proportions then he probably looks fine. If you think that a guy as clearly fked up proportions then he's probably slightly disproportioned.

You're right, it can be deceiving, but nonetheless, I think this pic is very interesting for multiple reasons. Assuming the proportions are not an illusion... 1 and 4 who are the shortest, have much longer arms than 2 and 3 who are noticeably taller, something else I noticed.
This pic is a huge mashup of different proportions, but if it's an illusion, than I just wasted everyone's time, sorry.

Hi Uppland
My boss is 6 feet and his inseam is probably at least 34 inch or maybe even 36. One day, I sat next to him in the chair. I felt so terrible because his legs are so way much longer than mine. Even compared to other guys whose height is about 6 feet, his legs are obviously longer than them. But, I think he looks great. So my conclusion about height is that long legs with a normal torso is better than long torso with short legs. I don't even bother thinking about arms. I just want to have longer legs.
-
If one has to choose, is it better to have very, very long tibiae and normal femurs or very, very long femurs and normal tibiae? Both of these are very average for me right now, and I'm only going to do LL once, so I am trying to figure out which segment to make disproportionate.
-

I personally think femur is preferable both in forma and in function
-
long tibias are much more attractive
also gives the illusion of being even taller than you really are.. function wise, doubt it matters much
-
Long tibias look way better than long femurs imo, function wise long femurs seem to be advantegous in comparison to long tibiae.
Did anyone ever do both segments, but therefore less in each one? Like 4cm's femur and 3,2 tibiae? This way you could still keep the 0,8 ratio and have rather proportional legs as well. At least more proportionale than doing the same amount on one segment.
-
Having seen many LL before and after pictures longer tibias look better than having longer femurs however having longer femurs increase your stride length, tibias shorten it. Extreme lengthening's never look good on either section.
-

Yes longer femur is definitely superior to longer tibias especially when you have minor lifts inside, IMO, example:

11CM on femurs:

Before:

And after:
(http://www.correction.kiev.ua/news/man3-stay2.jpg)
I haven't formed a concrete opinion on the matter, but I think tibial LL generally looks better until 6CM and, for lengths greater than that, femoral LL looks better and more natural.
Here's another 11CM pic. It's not too bad in my opinion:

Here's the only proportionally nice case of 10CM on tibae that I've seen (strugglinghard):

-
Nice pics. 11 cm is an overkill in just one segment, but I can't say he looks bad.
-
his femues make his tibias look very short... not a nice aesthetic look..
longer tibias relative to femurs gives the illusion of added height

THUS MINOR SHOELIFTS!!!!

Who was his surgeon?
Where is the source of this information?
How about his recovèry?
I thinnk, he looks nice
But my plan is only 6 cm femur 4cm tibia
-
he doesn't look nice at all in the last photo
-
7or8 cm's would have been better imo. The last one looks bad the others are ok, besides the fact that his arms look too short for me. Most ppl who don't think about proportions woudln't notice his short arms though.
-
I think he looks bad honestly, much too bad for me to even consider that amount.
-
It is really hard to tell whether tibia or femur looks better when you are wearing baggy pants and you can't see the knee position clearly. That guys last pic is terrible and in shorts he would have knees way too low. Having LL is about getting away from wearing lifts, if you have to wear them to balance out your proportions then your proportions are off, simple.
-
he doesn't look nice at all in the last photo
I agree
-
Last pic proves that 10cm maybe even up to 12cm wouldn't look terrible if you build your upper body. However it also proves that the length needs to be split evenly between the Tibias and femurs. His femurs look ridiculously huge compared to his Tibias even in jeans.
-
This guy looks very disproportionate. If you think that he looks great go to a psychologist.
-
if he puts minor lifts inside his shoes that would even out his proportions and he would bang 10/10 chicks.
But i agree that 7 cm max on femur is no problem what so ever :)
-

lol dumbass
He's got VERY usual long femur-short tibia propotions of a tall man. He just decided to put his pants high up for some reason - no one wears them that high and that obviously gives an illusion of longer femurs. If you disagree, go fk yourself (read: go to a psychologist)

You can't be serious about that, no way is this femur tibia ratio close to something usual. It might have looked ok if he had sticked to 7 but now, his legs look weird and his arms look stumpy.

haha , the only dumbass here is you.
why you cant see the reality? this guy has super long femurs that look really bad. I havent seen a person with that proportions in my life . show this photo to any person that isnt obsesed with height , and all of them will say the same as me. His proportions are really unnatural and weird.

Remember that any of us would similar if we lengthened 7CM and wore some thick boots.
Anyway, could you post a picture of an ll patient that has good proportions -not just "ok"?

OBG did 6CM, what about the other guy?
He does seem to have quite long arms.
-
i think that Oldiebutgoldie looks fine, and the last one who did tibias look fine too
-
The last guy is Calic. He gained a little over 7 CM. He said he went from 5'7 to almost 5'11 in the morning. His armspan is 5'11.

The pic of the second guy shows how important arm length is. Long arms can make a guy look proportional at various heights because even with a short torso, long arms will match long legs post lengthening.
I saw a guy at the gym standing on an 7 inch platform behind some equipment (couldn't see below his knees), and I said to myself that he could definitely pull off being 6' 1" due to his gorilla arms (he was probably 5' 8", 5' 9")
the fact is, you won't have an aesthetically proportional body with a highly negative ape index. Long legs and short arms are just not a good combo, I'm sorry. Long legs, long arms, and short torso is not that bad
-
stop use the word aesthetic you seem pretentious and are only using it because you watched some zeez clips on youtube. cringe everytime i hear people use that word. As if you are aware... anyway i think that if you can pull of rocky marciano proportions you will be just fine.
-
:'(I don't think anyone has actually attempted to directly answer the question: "long legs, where do you draw the line?", so I'll throw in my two cents in a formulaic manner:
1. Do not exceed a 50% cycling inseam to height ratio (the average is around 46.5%)
2. Do not exceed a -2 inch ape index (the average ape index is +9 CM,)
That's where you draw the line IMO, as you will most likely stay in the realm of normalcy if you follow those general guidelines.
-
the average ape index is +9 CM
u wot m8
It's +2 cm.
Also, lengthening both humerus and forearms is possible, so it shouldn't stop someone who is really determined. I say generally you don't bother about torso nor arm proportions when lengthening just one segment (though you can screw segmental proportions), but when doing two segments and over 10 cms you'll have to get your arms lengthened, unless they were long in the first place, meaning you had a high positive ape index like 8+ something.

Tell that too mathew mconaghue he has the wingspan of someone 5'7-9 to his 5'11 height.

Check out pages 4 and 21. It also says that armspan exceeds height in 98% of subjects, so -2 inch ape index is really pushing it already

And it´s quit obvious :P
Do you really think it´s pure chance that he is so often depicted with his arms crossed?
-
I used to be the biggest arm length nazi because I have short arms but now I have kind of changed my mind. Yes it's important, -if you do more than 9-10CM otherwise it usually isn't that big of a deal in my opinion, leg length is a bigger hindrance for many.
Although I might just be biased toward that conclusion but I honestly can't see that much wrong with my arms even after 8CM. Also never noticed matthews arms until someone on the internet pointed it out.
That said it should be possible to gain about 3CM on both arms but of course the humerus to forearm proportions are also important. Bottom line is: no LL patient will look completely normal post-op the important thing is that the proportions look good or at the very least okay.

Also, not to beat a dead horse, but short arms are in my opinion less of a problem than (too) long legs. Hasn't these two actors become sex symbols, and aren't their arms noticeably short for their height?

Thank you for the additional data my friend. There are a range of reported statistics, from 1.02 ape index to 1.05, but I tend to be on the conservative side when I view these statistics

Yeah, short arms is only an issue if they look noticeably bad, but like we can alla attest: few people actually recognize arm length at all in real life. I know I never did, just assumed people were proportionate like everyone else does.

Even with my obsession about height and proportions, I still can't accurately gauge someone's arm span. 90% of the time I can get sometimes height to 1 inch though
-
I seriously don't understand thus obsession with proportions. I'm surprised people care at all--let alone to the extent they do.
-
that man in 2nd picture has really short arms, is he 5" taller than his wingspan?
just goes to show we really can look fine after a lot of LL.

His shoulder width is normal for his height, but his arm length appears to be quite short -almost stunted considering his hands are small as well.

what does eveyrone think of those proportions.. wingspan 2 inches less than height
-
I think it looks a bit odd honestly, perhaps shave off your goal a little?
-
looks the same as the other guy i mentioned before hand.
-
this isnt me btw.. this is a previous patient who did 5cm tibias.. but i agree with you microman, looks similar to second picture.. someone mentioned earlier that -2inch wingspan to height would look wierd.. i think it looks pretty normal to be honest. no normal person would ever notice
-
Please don't exceed 6cm as the absolute maximum. 6cm is pushing it already in terms of recovery and proportions.
I did 7cm but should have stopped at 6cm.
11cm is just mental.....
-
Hey Tucodog are you also Descretuser?
The pictures look very similar from this topic you posted earlier.
http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=2282.msg36008#msg36008
I think your initial measurements must have been way off because there is no way that your tibia should look
that long compared to your femurs. I have been on these forums for nearly 3 years and have never seen anything like it.
-

This is probably the best idea, in all honesty. 6 cm on your tibias and 6 cm on your femurs should allow for good recovery and proportions. Of course, you could do more, but this should bring most forum members to average/above-average height.

I have never seen anyone do two surgeries and recover well.
-
Two surgeries are a lot of trauma for the body. Do only one segment except you are very very short
-
I clicked through the old forum and saw a running video of a guy who did two surgeries. It looked just horrible, way worse than the one of apo, which doesn't look good as well.
-
can you link?
yeah is crazy still disabled? and yeah the guy was indian so really 5' 11" for him is more like 6' 4" in the US, a total nutjob.
-
I have no idea where exactly I found it, the guy seemed to be from the UK.
-
Is 159 very short? be honest. I want to do two surgeries but i still think about it
-

"Short" is dependant on the local average, where are you from?
-
I dont want to say exactly where i am from but here is the male average height around 177 so i am 18 cm shorter ? from eu
-
technically yes it is considered very short.
-

Sorry man that's really short, it doesn't mean you can't live a full life, you will however always be short regardless if you do the surgery or not.
Good luck, and keep your chin up. No one is completely happy with their body.
-
I am 164.5 I would say I am very short, id say 160 is incredibly short, sadly.
are you sure you are 159, are you asian or indian?
-
My motivation is going up to do this surgery.
Uppland I dont agree with you because when i do two surgeries around 7+7 i would be 173 and this is just -4 under the male average height in my country. The male average height here is 177 but in the most times i see guys they are around 170
microman i am be sure that i am 159 i have a friend and he is also around your height 165. I cant say that i see a big different between us but when we are really near for example at a party i can see the different. I am from a country where is the male average height around 172. I want to do next year the surgery with catagni tibia
And guys do you think i can go with two surgeries easier because i am very short ?
-
I am 165 and the average around here in Portugal is 1.74. Even knowing the younger generation is taller, I guess beeig 1.70 is enought for me.
Sadly, I guess I will forever be deciding between 6cm femurs or 4tibia+4femurs. My armspan is 1.72 and my sitting height is 88cm (i have no but doe). I'm only 19 years old, so I guess I still have some years to decide that. 8)
Do you believe I am shorter than my mother and grandmother??? They are both 1.67... But on the other hand my father is only 1.57.
I will never be as tall as my 5 male cousins that are between 1.76-1.81. But at least I am taller than my female cousins (1.58-1.64).
You were saying that no men did both segments and recovered? You only need not to gl for crazy amounts. Here is a video of a men that did 2leg lenghtening for a total of 9 or 10cm:

Ps: Today I saw a 2.10-2.20m men with a creepy voice, I thanked god beeing 55-45cm shorter ;D
Ps2: proportions do kill future leg lenghters mind even knowing no one notices about them
-
His walking looks very unnatural, better do 7-7,5cm's on your femurs with a good Dr.and an internal device.
-
it gives patients they did leg lengthening on both segments and recovered i think like exclide but i am not be sure
he has skinny legs too
-
It was with that video in mind I said what I said. That is not a very good recovery, check out the users shyshy, chistopherbuilder and OBG for people who I consider have recovered well/acceptable.
His proportions look decent considering he lengthened such a large amount, I would not be satisfied with that look though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd49zMl_YvQ +6 tibia this guy is the same guy i think and his walking has not a really different between the other video if the videos are correctly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLXBXNTakQw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkaVx130AMM this guys did the surgery also on both segment

Exclide is still in frames so there is no way we'll find out about bis recovery any time soon.
Are you from a german speaking country? :D

The videos look decent I guess, although they all seem to walk and run kind of, well, feminine for lack of a better word.
Would be interesting if someone made a video where a LL-patient and a guy with natural legs compared their gait, running, agility, speed, explosivness etc.
Maybe we could ask some veterans on here?

I agree with uppland here, and i'm not even sure why. Pretty sure it's just because these guys have wide hips. Look at his hips in comparison to his waist and torso. The legs don't even appear straight in the thumbnail of the second video, the femurs form a V shape from the pelvis to the knee, accentuating the wideness of the hipbone. The third guy has birthing hips as well.

Was it totally caused by LL? No, otherwise the ratio between his waist and his hipbone wouldnt be so poor. He had underlying unfixable aesthetic issues going into this surgery.
I'm waiting a vid from KiloKahn so we can see a perspective of someone who doesn't have wide hips.
-
OBG had small hips prior to surgery, post op they look very tiny.
Looks good on one hand but of course we could all use to be broader overall. Myself I'll look a bit like Hugh Jackman after lengthening my legs since my build is somewhat slim.

would you say Hugh Jackman has short arms, just want to take note of all the people that are like that

No on the opposite, he has long arms.

oh right, then that isn't a factor, only wingspan is a factor when taking into account LL.
