how will i look after LL

Edit Post

I plan to add either 5 or 6cm to my tibs, so for tib and femur proportions how would I look?

i am 164cm
knee height is 48cm.

inseam 72cm (may not be very accurate)

I was just trying to see the difference between tibia and femur, my torso isn't really a factor, I believe.

I was hoping I had maybe a shorter than normal tibia, maybe this is not the case?

Thanks, I am only planning to do one LL surgery in my life so I need to make sure I pick the correct bone segment.

i know this is not entirely on topic but what do you do to get an x-ray, wont the doctor ask you why you want an x-ray, what is it you would usually say in that situation, and do you know the general price of one in the UK.

Thanks

okay so do I go to a hospital or a doctors place for it, and should i ask them what cm's my tibs and femur are, or will the x ray just tell me.


just need to decide if its 5 or 6cm im going for, remember its only 1 surgery.

okay, do i ask for a measurement of my leg bones, or will the x-ray just say them on the picture.

okay after having found out about the pain free LL i may be considering two LL surgeries, I was thinking 2x6cm, that would bring me to 176, 1cm above the male average.

anyway here is a full body shot, any advice would be very welcome.

wingspan is 167 btw.

also 174 with 2x5cm may also be an option, normally i wouldn't consider 2 surgeries, but if my ratio looks better, and its pain free, i would do both at the same time, so while my tibs are consolidating my femurs can be lenghening, overall this would save about 4 months of time and extra flight trips in comparison to doing the surgeries at separate times.

okay i tried finding out if i could get an x-ray, sadly i need to see my GP before i can be allowed to get an x-ray, in addition i need to do a bit of traveling to get an x-ray machine that can get the exact cms of each bone.

overall seems a waste of time really.

but i would like to know how i would look with 6cm on tibs, is there some special way to make a mockup in paint where you can judge the cms.

here is my attempt to add height on my tibs, to me it looks a little strange, maybe i added 10cm or something, i really don't know.

This is why I'm starting to wonder if 5cm would be better than 6cm given my proportions.

here is an attempt to add 5cm to both tibs and femur, to see if my problem rises in the tib/femur ratio more than it does the leg/arm ratio.

to me i seem a bit leggy, although i realize the true problem would lie in my wingspan, as two people can have the same torso yet be 6 0 or 5 0.

what if i only do tibs, do i not seen overly leggy in the tibs to you.
