So I finally got the time to do my quadrilateral mock-up. Quadrilateral, because sport is a big part of my life. I'm a retired proffesional ice-hockey player. What do you guys think? Does it look reasonable to lengthen 11,5 cm? 6,4 femur and 5,1 tibia. I have never had problems in dating. Not even with taller women. I want to do this, because my legs are muscular and also shorter, therefore most people can recognize that - mainly when i wear pants. A few women told me that too - but their opinion doesn't matter to me. Some of you might think, that I'm a clown or even insane doing it at 177cms, but as I said, I'm doing it solely for the reason to feel comfortable in my body and around other males. I've not been in a gym for a year, but im planning to put some more muscles to my legs asap after the surgery, so they don't look that thin.
I am currently deciding between Giotikas - because of his cheaper precice package and Mustafa Gokhli.
Race - Caucasian, Central Europe - average height of males in my country is 180cm
Height - 177,5cm on my left foot and 177 cm on my right (that should also solve my problem with discrepancy)
Wingspan - 184,5cm
Torso - 48,5cm

11.5 seems nice on you but then it makes your shorter wingspan noticeable. Between 8.5 and 11.5 seems good. Next best is 11.5 and the next best is 8.5 alone, in my opinion
by the way how do you make that mock up?
-
Why not 6cms on femurs and call it a day? You will be 183cms tall. Also, your tibs already seem on the longer side
-
I think your mock-ups leave you with tibias too long relative to your femurs. 8.5 looks better than 11.5 too. What is your sitting height? Perhaps do another set of mock-ups where you reduce Tibia gain by 1.25cm but add that 1.25cm to increased femur gain. Good luck on your LL journey!

thanks guys, to do the mockup i went with this http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=66214.msg188533#msg188533
i want to look as proprtionate as possiblewhile also retaining my athleticity, for example squating heavier would not be possible for me from a biomechanical point of view.
I guess i will go with 10cm instead of 11,5 boys thank you all:) sitting height is 91cm

Curious, how have you made accurate mock-ups like this?
-
your legs shouldnt be too skinny and try to pose your knees a bit out
-
But how did you morph the actual images? Photoshop?
-
simple program called drawing in windows, you dont really need photoshop to do that
-
your legs aren´t short or on the shorter side - actually the opposite applies .. you stated your sitting height with 91 cm at 177 cm height - I´m 164/165 cm and my sitting height is almost 89 cm .. so most of our height difference is due to your (not only comparatively) longer legs
