Title: Would like to know from community if i would look bad after limb length
Post by: ldtaller on January 05, 2017, 09:18:21 PM: Hey Forum I am Louie! I am glad to be here because you are the experts. I honestly can say i would trust people who have gotten limb length and want it rather then a actual surgeon.

Below are 3 pictures of my legs. I plan on getting 5 inches of femur length from Betz, and i wanted to know if i would look decent with it. While i am not really worried about anything else but leg proportions, i will give you my wingspan as well.

I measured and here are what i believe to be my measurements
Femur= 13 Inches
Tibia= 12 Inches
Wingspan= Somewhere around 65 inches

Ok so here is my honest feelings. I don't care about perfect proportions at all. What im worried about is if i add 5 inches to my femur, will it look terrible?? Will i be called out upon it???

So basically since perfection is not what i want will i be a clown lol

Ahh, why i'm not suprised it's our beloved snowflake Betz.

There are cheaper ways to get an amputation you know?

But you will look and walk like a crap after lengthening such an amount.

Ah, but that's other people, not them.

Post by: Penguinn on January 06, 2017, 06:18:36 AM: It's unlikely your tibia:femur ratio is 12:13 which would be 0.92(very long tibia or very short femur). You should get it measured via X-Rays first.
