Title: Your view on my proportions and goal?
Post by: Evolving on August 27, 2014, 10:25:31 AM
Hello dear members,

I'm a newbie; this is my first thread.  I have been thinking about LL surgery for nearly two years, and I will keep thinking about it until I get the money.  But I want something new to think about by asking for your opinion on my stature, how much should I increase and in which parts.
I will put the measurements of my overall height, wingspan, and sitting height, backed up with my photograph.

Overall height: 1. 65 cm
Sitting height: 87 cm
Wingspan: 1. 68

Photograph:

My suggestion is 4 cm femur + 4 cm tibiae to reach 173 cm.

What do you think?

Also, I think I shouldn't increase more than my suggestion because of my short torso. What do you think?

I appreciate your help.

Thank you

Thanks a lot, kunta kinte.

I think I'll end up with a long femur.

I modified the thread and included my suggestion. I hope to know your opinion.

Really!! I think they are not in reality.
Could you please explain what do you mean by 10 cm? I mean in which part(s)?


Thank you

What's wrong with a long femur and short torso? It is a naturally occurring body type after all. Nobody will suspect anything.

I think one should choose the measurements that would make their body seem as proportional, I mean natural, as possible. Increasing a little bit in both parts of the leg without overlooking the torso is the best option, i think. Imagine a short torso, a long femur and a short tibiae.

Anyway, please what do you think of my suggestion in relation to my body?

Thanks a lot, Taller.

you can pull your underpants down a bit and it looks also better otherwise looks your torso smaller.
4.5 cm on tibias and 3.5 cm on femurs would suit you. lol

If you can aford it go for the 4+4 it will look the most natural and you will gain the most height without risking the freaky look which you get with lengthening only one part for a big gain. If you don't mind me asking, how long is your inseam(measure from croch to ground) because your legs look long?

My inseam height is 80 cm. Does it make a difference?

I wonder what is the idea behind such a comment , your first here, on a thread initiated this day.
As long as this forum is open you will see such topics. The world doesn't stop on you having done the surgery.

your legs are now about 48% of your total height. After lengthening they will be 50%. PERFECT!

Thanks for the encouragement.
I hope to know about your experience with LL if you don't mind. Have you done the surgery? What is your original height?

You appear to have short femurs and long tibiae.  I think you'll be fine doing all of the 8cm you want on just femurs.

youre the expert here but man it would not be better to extend his tibias more than his femurs ?

Not at all. If you don't think it's crazy to get link lengthening at 5'11 then you are equally in need of some psychological exam instead of limb lengthening. You giys throw out the whole "oh they're just jealous we have a taller starting height" cop out to cloud the fact that its crazy and stupid to get limb lengthening st that hright and you'd be better off with therapy. You will not receive any benefit of doing it outside of some temporary pdychological thing whoch is why therapy will be much better for taller guys who want this. It's easy to see it's true because you guys are so fragile in mind that you obsess about lengthening at your heights when you don't receive any society disadvantage from the start like actual short people do.

they may have different reasons , everyone hai its reasons to why he's doing LL, by judging on first impression, which you do, every person who does LL is crazy. That's probably the first thing you hear when you tell people about LL for the first time, I don't know the guy, neither do you I assume so if it makes him happy and it outweighs all the risks , then why he shouldn't
PS: I know that people over 5'10 that do LL make other rage,

You are just as proportionate as anyone else who is 165cm tall.

If you're going for one surgery then do 5cm on tibias.

If you do 8cm on femurs your tibias will look stumpy.

You need to get in much better shape before you do the surgery though.

Nothing against you or against your topic. No need to get all deffensive, laugh a little haha. No offense brother, it's just that this topic has been touched so much and so many times and everywhere that It is actually funny and  interesting to me to see what else can be told about this topic. And usually the same masters of proportions talking about it, like there was so much more new stuff to talk about this subject. I just dont dont understand why talking about the same thing a million times. People need to not be lazy and read all the topics in all the forums. I honestly get anoyed when people email me and ask me questions that I already wrote on my diary, it tells me that people want to do leg lengthening without even do a proper research about it. Just lazy people. Again, no offense u r free to do as you want and I respect that. The proportion topic will be always a concern and a hot topic ofcourse I agree with that. But in reality the proportions topic is just kind of a  fantasy, because it has nothing to do with reality until you do your leg lengthening and day by day see how ur proportions are. I understand the concern because I was on that boat too but I was wrong. People including my self when talk about proportions only looking for reassurance and validation that they will look fine after x cms of lengthening it will not change the fact that they will or will not do leg lengthening.

Someone who's 165cm tall would usually have higher SH to height ratio. Take a look at Apo, and he's 170:

Might be just a bad photo though, not sure, but your legs look like you already lengthened them

You need to get in much better shape before you do the surgery though.


Thanks a lot, Sweden.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of that. I think my torso will look taller if it becomes lean and ripped, and so it would suit the lengthening of the legs.
Am I right?

The camera was placed in the level of my hips about 3 meters away from me? Does it make a difference?

Thanks for the reply.

Maybe you think that there should be one thread addressed to all people because it fits them all or applies to all. I think every one joining this community would initiate such a thread because everyone's body is different. The topic of proportions is specific to every individual, and hence dedicating a forum to proportions "Height & Proportions."

Your arms seem long enough, you can lengthen as much as you want imo.  Work on your back also, it will balance your body.
