Maybe your endocrinologist just said to lengthen femurs because internal is the current standard of care, and internal femurs are less risky than internal tibias.

Second that's not really the best picture to do so. The camera needs to be at waist level so both the legs and the torso are to some degree in equilibrium. In your picture it looks like you have long(ish) legs already.

In my humble opinion, all of them look "ok", but 3 inches femur looks most natural.

Post by: 53dude on November 24, 2015, 11:52:37 PM: Also doying something like in both tibias and femur would be a good idea?

Post by: Alu on November 24, 2015, 11:56:12 PM: Doing both is possible, look at Iamready for journey on that.

If you do want to go for two surgeries then my best advice is length both no more then 5 cm, for proportion sakes. Also Tibia lengthening for 3 inches (7.5-8 cm) is riskier then if done in the femurs.

For me personally, I hope to do 4 cm in tibia and femurs for max recovery and better proportions.

Post by: Penguinn on November 25, 2015, 12:48:48 AM: If you want to go for 2 LLs, you could get upto 5 inches (3 femur and 2 tibias) but your upper body and arms should be big enough to look proportionate. I've read that doctors advise doing 2 surgeries separately and not at once.
