Does this look good? It’s 8cm femurs and 5cm tibias, and would put me at 6’3”
-
yeah that looks good except that your arms look a bit short compared to your legs
-
I think the torso look shorter a bit, try putting your pants a bit lower, below the bone if possible

Honestly, no
-
13cm too much imo

This is 4cm femurs and 4cm tibias. Thoughts? I would be 6’0-6’1”.
-
Wayyy better! That looks good! But try one with no shirt inside pants, it only makes your legs even longer
-
You need to make a mother mock up, this going to sound weird but if you are comfortable doing it in shorts and no shirt or at least form fitting clothing that would be best. The problem is your outfit looks like your shirt is tucked in? I can’t tell where your torso ends and your legs begin. I think both images make your legs too long, BUT I do think it’s your outfit.
-
The first looks terrible.
The second is way better.

This is my stats. Tell me which one looks best.
First is normal, second is +8cm, third is 4 and 4, last is 8 and 5

4+4 looks the best to ME
-
I agree 4 and 4 looks best. Do you think that 6 and 6 would look terrible then? (Assuming I can physically do it)
-
Your body is alright already, pursuit other things in life, mate.

Sorry to say this, but you’re initial proportions are good already, there’s really little room for enhancement - your legs are equal to your body (torso+head).
I don’t like all mock-ups, and, honestly, 5’11” hardly needs to improved.
-
But 4 and 4 looks good to me. And others agree. I think I will go with 4 and 4
-
Thoughts?

I'm with @Sambollio, it is very hard to tell if any of the combinations will work for you.
What's for certain is that you won't be able to wear those pants if you decide to do LL :D
-
Is it weird that I kinda like the 8cm femur 5cm tibia look? I know it’s long but I personally like it. I obviously like 4cm and 4cm look too, I honestly like both. The long leg look looks awesome to me
-
In my opinion, the 8cm mock-up looks better. Plus, I think, after 6ft, proportion becomes more important than height
-
Woah don't max out - you look like a badly drawn cartoon character. 4/4 or +8 to fem is ok. Honestly you get get away with 6-7 on fem and look great!
Don't go overboard, that's neurotic territory bro
-
Third is nice, fourth is werid tbh. Try 5cm + 5cm instead and see
-
Gotcha. Plus, 4 and 4 or 5 and 5 would put me at about 6’0-6’1 which is still good
-
Yes, I personally think that the more you do at femurs the shorter your arms look and the lower your knees look too. So I think splitting is nice for proportions. Check your femur to tibia rate first too

Thoughts on these mock-ups??
-
.
-
Seems okay
-
My goal is to get to 6’2. I am currently 5’10. Should I do a 5cm split? Thoughts?
-
5cm + 5cm is safe too, but depends at your conditions, I know that 4cm + 4cm is really possible and okay
-
Your proportions are already good. , and you're 5'10. The best idea is to leave this site and live your life.
-
I know that, but height neurosis is something I’ve dealt with for a very long time. I simply want 4 and 4. Thoughts?

Respectable. But I would personally stay away from tibias. Especially since you could get 6-8 cm on femurs and will be fine
-
The 4 and 4 looks borderline ok. The others look bad
-
So 4 and 4 is doable. Right? And that’s all I want really.
-
What is your wingspan OP? It looks short so try to keep the lengthening conservative if you are concerned about proportions.
-
It’s 5’9 and I’m 5’9. I want 4 and 4 to put me at a little over 6 ft

Which one is it? :D
-
It’s 5’9 and a half so I usually round up

Final thoughts?

I would personally max out the femur as much as possible because apparently it doesn’t skew your proportions as badly as people think + it’s cheaper + tibias are much higher risk with complications, arthritis + I thought the same as you but 6-8cm femur is a HUGE difference and u might not need more

Doing 8cm on femurs at these initial proportions will look ugly af.
The best to do is nothing at almost 5.10. The second best is 5-6cm on tibias max and consider himself done.

That’s your opinion but I’m sure he also suffers from height neurosis like we all do. Also, there’s a reason why most people go for femurs. It can be covered by clothes better, it’s an easier process, less expensive, less painful, less risk of complications, etc. 6 cm on tibias is very risky business. I’d say 4 max on tibias
-
Thanks for the input, and I think I’ll go for 8cm. I’ll discuss with the surgeon as to whether it should be 4 and 4 or 8.

Who are you doing it with btw?
-
Most likely waiting for stryde to come back and with debipershad, would consider betz as well

Since when femurs are less expensive, less painful and all these nonsense?
It is exactly the opposite from what you said, external tibias is the safest, cheapest and most painless method for LL. Period.
People only do internal femurs because they want something completely internal to maybe hide the surgery better or to feel more.comfortable puting clothes on, doing a shower and things like that.
But in reality internal femurs has no other benefit compared to fully external tibias.
Finally, 4cm on tibias to be safe is a joke.
6cm are safe for almost anyone, at least not less than 8cm on femurs.
So better not talk about how risky are external tibias and lengthening more than 4cm and all these things to an LL veteran like me because I know better for sure what is difficult, risky etc compared to someome that just reads about LL on forums.
-
I’m sure 6cm tibias fully external is safe, but I also don’t want an abundance of scars, especially if on lower leg. I’d most likely go for 4-6cm internal femurs first, then if not satisfied, a year later I’d do tibias, 4-6cm.

Yes we are.
But please don't write inaccurate things like the ones I mentioned because some future LLers read our posts and may have wromg conclusions about what is easier, safer, cheaper etc.

But its not inaccurate brother. External Tibias is harder than internal femurs because of external not internal (so infection is more likely, tibia has less blood flow, you're not messing with the Achilles tendon, less complication rates, and you're lengthening two bones instead of just one. This is information that is all over the forum and YouTube. Internal Femur is a less difficult process read the diaries.
