Title: PLEASE HELP: Should I lengthen more or stop?
Post by: Rational on March 25, 2020, 08:58:27 PM
I have to decide if I want to lengthen my legs more or stop. I don't have much time, thus please reply quickly.

I'm worried that somebody may find out that I've lengthened my legs, because the proportions may be a bit off (I need to keep it in secret for my entire life)(I've been wearing lifts for 2 years) (Nobody knows about it). Here are my photos:

(I'm worried that it can be seen on this photo that my torso is too short for such long thighs)

Measurements:
Starting:
height: 170 cm (5'7 inch)
inseam: 80.5 cm (2'7.7) (measured with notebook between leg and scrotum)
wingspan: 176.5 cm (5'9.5)
sitting height: 89cm (2'11)

Current:
height: 175 cm (5'9)
inseam: 85.5 cm (2'9.7) (measured with notebook between leg and scrotum)
wingspan: 176.5 cm (5'9.5)
sitting height: 89cm (2'11)

As you can see I've lengthened 5 cm. Doctor says with confidence that I can do more and I don't know if I should lengthen one more centimeter. I wish to have 6 cm in total. What do you think?

I think you look fine, go for it if you want that extra 1 cm

You actually look pretty darn good.  Do you know your femur/tibia ratio?

My tibia to femur ratio is now about 0.74

Thank you alebla and TouchingTheSky for your answers. They are really helpful for me right now. It seems that I got cought up in some kind of obsession about the change that happened to me. I think that I'll pursue the 6 cm. I wanted to be taller in the first place, so if everything is fine then I should proceed. Thanks again! :)

This is exactly why I want to do 2.5cm in my tibia and 2.5 in my femur rather than all 5 in femur
