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.
I think femours will look better
REmember I ended up just going to the doctor I settled on for the xrays.
From what I remember, I googled places that did xrays and called them up and asked them if I can just pay for xrays, they said yeah.
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.
The mock ups with tib and femur look fine. I would probably do tibs first. I am 167 with a knee height of close to 51 cms. I will probably do tibs because mine are pretty short. You should be able to add 6 cms and have no issues at all with proportions.
you look great
what if i only do tibs, do i not seen overly leggy in the tibs to you.
I think overall I would like to do 6cm on tibs, if i ever do femurs id do 5cm on them, as i feel i care less about the height at that point, that would actually put me at the male average for my region.
but i'd want the 6cm first, because the height really matters there in the first height surgery.
even then I'm not sure what the point in the second surgery would be, i could just wear 4cm lifts, not ideal but they're easy to walk in.
I realize I'm going round in circles here, sorry about that.
but i DO worry about having really long bottom legs assuming I only do 1 surgery, are you sure i would look okay with just that? it is in that case i think maybe i should only do 5cm, then later i can do another 5 and remain in proportion better in both cases.
