Does the 173cm me look off? I'm 159 and I want to increase 14cm (6Tibia + 8Femur with 2 years apart). Should I stop at 170cm (+11) and be happy or go with the max (+14?)
Because I'm afraid that at 173 my legs would look too long compared to other guys at 170.
My wingspan is 165cm.
Thank you. I also think that the 170 looks best out of 3. Perhaps I'll go with +12.5 (171.5) and gain some weight. Balance out my greed and my safety/ proportion.
Do you think I was wearing my shorts a little bit high? Here are other pictures of extending 6+8 cm wearing low underpants, do you still think it's too off? https://imgur.com/gallery/iqcZngn
I think after doing the LLs, I'll try to gain some weight as well and it'll look better then.
Here's a guy doing +13cm in Tibia only (real surgery not mockup), how do you think? https://imgur.com/a/JhHH5Wf
The right image is if 13cm was divided for the femur and if his leg got more meat.

Actually, there're 2 surgeries (7+6) with 9 years apart (2010 and 2019). That's why. Not just normal walk, the paper says now he can lift nearly 200 kgs of weights with his legs https://tuoitre.vn/di-tim-chieu-cao-mo-uoc-ky-2-hai-lan-keo-chan-cao-them-13cm-20201010110356253.htm
He's from 163 to 176
Quote from: Body Builder on April 28, 2021, 12:54:55 PMYou don't look bad. You have a relatively lomg torso like all short men compared to legs.
You can even do 7cm on femurs and still look ok. So don't.overthink about all these, what matters at the end is to be as closer to average height as you can without being crippled. And if things go well, you can do 6cm on tibias and 7cm on femurs and still be ok.
Thank you. Actually, in my country 170 is being considered normal and average already. 173 (if naturally) is being seen as attractive 
. Anyways maybe I'll decide when already in distracting phase to see where it goes.
Quote from: TheDream on April 28, 2021, 03:03:15 PMRemember that every cm you lengthen after 5 on femur and 3 on tibias adds an exponential amount of time to complications.
Is it worth going for 173 cm or 170 cm instead of something like 167 if it will make you feel a lot more pain just walking in the park with your family and friends? LL is about a balance between height gain and loss of leg function. You need to respect the complications and not get blinded by only the height gain. Remember that you will be walking on these legs also when you are 80 years old.
I'll consider not going too extreme of course. But I'd rather work crazy hard on rehab, exercising, preparing the best health for the surgery than laying lazy on the bed and doing 3-5cm. Knowing that I'm having artificial legs would make me less complacent, work out more and respect my health even more.
Ok I'll take everything into account

How do you know that?
I'm undergoing the LON tibia surgery RIGHT NOW. 3cm so far and every day since day one has been from a little to very painful with peripheral nerve pain.
All the patients around me are aiming for 7-8cm (tibia), only me for 6-6.5cm at first. But for whatever reason, deep down I thought to myself: If I was born of being 170 naturally (avg height in my country is 168), would height be important to me? and the answer is no I wouldn't care about it if that was the case. Like really I don't mind being shorter than other men, as long as I'm taller than most of the female human beings around my life, I'm happy.
So, probably I'll go with 5.5cm with this first surgery, because:
1. After this first surgery, I'll be taller than most of the women in my country, and considering I have other good characteristics (I'm confident that I do), dating wouldn't be a problem anyway
2. If I do another 7cm on the femur, I'll be taller than most of the women in countries I would ever travel to and all the girls I possibly like (I don't like girls are too taller than my original height no matter how much height from LLS I gain)
3. If I take the max risk and go for +14cm, my proportion would look a bit off, that would put me in a tall range in my country, but not really in countries I'll travel to anyway
4. As I'm feeling pain every day, I think that's a sign that I shouldn't take too much risk
What do you(s) think?
