I'm thinking of lengthening 5cm tibia with lon method since it's more affordable. Then later in the future when I have more money I'd like to add 6cm to femur with the stryde method. With an increase in height of 11cm, how does my proportions look at my dream height? Thanks

Don’t even try it. 182cm is tall enough. Even with Stryde I would not do it at that height. I am a current Femur LON patient who wanted 2 surgeries to reach 180-183cm but this humbles you fast and now I understand what’s important in life and I will be more than happy with my final height (172-175cm).
Think again...

Proportions does look really good,but at 182 you already above average height, you can stop at 187-188 and ur will be in a strong tall zone,but for sure at 6 ft 4=193 Almost nobody will mog you
-
Thanks for the feedback. Greatly appreciated.

Do you have a long torso or are you wearing your underpants low? Have you measured your sitting height and arm span? In general, with your athletic body, these mockups look good.
But is the extra centimeters worth of the money and time spent if you already look good at 182 cm? Plus, I think you only need one operation to become a tall guy (187-188). For me, there is not much difference between 188 and 193

At 1m93 , it s really good
-
My sitting height is 95cm and my wingspan is 182cm. I know my wingspan will be towards the shorter side after lengthening, but I don't think it looks bad. And I agree with you that there is not much of a difference from 188-193, so it really depends on the individual whether that would be worth it or not.

Thanks tgogo. I do think I like my build better at 193 than 182

Yes and your proportions are good , I am nearly the same heigth as you , but I consider to have the full 8cm on femur as a first step

Good luck with that tgogo. What height are you hoping to reach with 1 or 2 surgeries?
-
With 2 surgeries 1m95

Haha, you and I both had the same experience. The first surgery really opens our eyes.

Incredible proportions at 193

Yeah me to. I can not even think about getting a second surgery.

Most of the experts try and avoid external fixators on the femurs. That's a lot of soft tissue to go through, not to mention the potential pin site infections. LON on femurs sounds brutal. Do you think your perspective would be different using internal nails on femurs?
-
Stryde is the best method ever to exist for femur. There is no competition at all and stryde Femurs should be the number one choice for anyone to gain height. In reality though, due to money issues not everyone can get stryde Femurs.
-
That’s true. I always say though, where there’s a will there’s a way. Given the choice I’d go for the stride and just find a way to pay for it! External fixations on the femurs would be brutal. Life is short though and pain is temporary.

but seriously he looks reaally aesthetic at 1m93

I'm 173 and I also have a wingspan of 181-182 cm. But your proportions at 193 don't even look bad, additionally; it looks great.
-
193cm looks nice tbh. But you're already tall (6 foot). But won't judge, it all depends where you live at. But you look great at 193cm, but od more mock ups to be sure, with different clothes, styles, different angles, positions and etc
-
Yeah it depends on where you live. Dan reynolds ( imagine dragons lead singer) once stated that "It doesn't help that he's 6-foot-4, and the bus's beds are 6-foot-2." Do you guys think anything above 6' 2" might be too tall for average tall human?
