Title: Can someone make a mockup for me?
Post by: MrSoonToBeTaller on April 01, 2021, 11:33:20 PM

I'm about 166 cm (sometimes 167 depending on who measures me, must be spinal compression throughout the day).


Can someone mock up 5 cm and 8 cm femurs?  I'd like to see the difference at those two.

Everyone feel free to let me know your opinion.

How much is the wingspan?

Equal to current height.

Hope I did it right.

Left image is 5.8 cm, middle is current height, right is 8 cm.  The light switch and my sleeve makes a good estimation in addition to the pixel counting in MS paint.

What do you all think?  I want to hear your opinions before I chime in.

Edit:  Also if this mockup is done poorly, I've never pixel counted before and altered images like this in Paint, feel free to post your own mock ups of me.

In terms of proportions 5.8 looks best.  But I would go for the maximum.  It does not look bad at all.  You have a muscular body so this should compensate for the proportions

I was also surprised how much better I thought my legs looked with 5.8 cm.  I’m hesitant to go for 8 cm because my femurs look too long, but I’m biased, I see myself everyday.  Thanks for the input!  Maybe I’ll try for lucky number 7

Any other input on the images with 5.8 cm vs 8 cm?

I also thought you look better at 5.8 than 8. That said, you don't look bad at all at 8.

Thank you.

Guess I'll see how the distraction process goes.  Leg lengthening is one day at a time.  I have my minimum goals that I want to hit.  After that it depends how I feel and how tight my muscles get.  I don't want to push it if 8 cm is too much. 

I'll do a journal here.

My opinion, if your health allows it go for 8cm, you will want to have a big improvement in height if you really pull it through. The right image doesn't look bad at all so don't worry about that. Height is way more important than (aesthetic) proportions (excluding functionality and biomechanics)
