Title: Femur & Tibia compare
Post by: MrJames on March 06, 2020, 11:34:50 PM
My height: 1.60

I think only one side. (femur or tibia) but I haven't decided yet.

if femur: +7 cm
if tibia: +6 cm


Which do you think is better for proportions?

2. Femur
3. Tibia

Thanks.

Proportions are irrelevant. If you go internal, the first LL will always be femurs because it's safer.
Then you can think about tibia. Most people never come back for a second round.

You are right. The priority must always be safer.

I'll say the second photo is better. Your femur seems shorter than the tibia.
By the way, how did you make these photos? I'm worried about the ratio too, and I want to make these also, to see what I look like after lengthening. Could you please tell me? Thx!

I did it with Photoshop.


A picture will be taken in front of an empty wall.

But first, Draw with a pencil on the wall with a ruler for limb lengthening  lengths you want. (femur and tibia)

Take your picture and make photoshop (limb lengthening according to the dimensions you draw on the wall.)


Or do not this, you do with photoshop. (without measure)

The tibias you photoshoped seem like +9cm not 6 cm. Im done 6,5 cm in tibas but not change much in proportion

Could be.
If we want higher than 6cm, we have to choose the femur.

My height and wingspan are the same. 1.60

If I make lengthening 7-8 cm (femur), will it be a problem?
