Title: 180cm or 185cm? (Mock Up Linked)
Post by: GreenAvocado on January 29, 2023, 11:43:09 PM

Mock Up: https://imgur.com/a/EFCj14k

Current Height: 172.5cm, ~5'8"
Wingspan: 175cm
Weight: 155 lbs
Shoe Size: 9.5 US

I feel like my legs have always been a bit on the "short, stocky" side. Considering getting LL to be taller, conquer height neurosis, and look more aesthetic.

No X-Rays done yet, currently setting up consultations (Debiparshad, Paley, Assayag, Betz) so not sure about my exact proportions / numbers yet.

1) In your opinion, do I have a long torso?
2) 180cm or 185cm?
3) Something in between?

Thanks

180cm looks good imo. Wouldn't go for 185cm but it's up to you.

Thanks Kanye Western. Yeah, I'm leaning toward 180cm as well. Less trauma to the body. Keep tibias intact, retain a little more athleticism hopefully.

Hey !
Congratulations for your athletic body.
You have a normal torso for me.
180cm and 185cm are both good. I think you can choose what you want.

Can you send me a PM please, i need help for mock up.

Im also seriously considering between Debiparshad and Assayag and have set up consultations for 8cm on precise 2.2 femur. Pretty much the exact same height/body type as you right now. Keep us updated with who you end up choosing and why.

i personally think 172 cm looks the best, you've got a nice build

Thank you - wasn't expecting that opinion on this forum! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose  :)

I'm actually leaning heavily towards Betz / Becker in Germany, the only weight bearing nail option as of today.

1.80 looks very natural, especially if you do it from the tibia.
