(Mock ups attached) Are my legs too long?

Edit Post

Perhaps shave one or two CM off your goal?

I used to want to lengthen 7CM but now I'm thinking more like 5.

Edit Post

Your body is not handling 7.5cm very well in either segment. Try 5cm and see how it looks.

Tibs, obviously.

Ok, I think I agree that tibias look better, but isn't it impossible (or very unadvised) to lengthen 7.5 cm on tibias? I don't think lengthening is worth it if it's less than 3 inches (just for me personally).

Am I correct in understanding tibias have more visible scars, worse recovery, and permanent knee pain?

Edit Post

Yes, anything over 5cm on tibias could raise problems in terms of bio-mechanics and muscle problems. It also is important to note that the method one chose is also much more important with tibia then femurs (it's near unanimous for internals when operating on femurs). Also tibias are lengthen slower and recover slower, so expect even greater added time to recovery for tibias.

looks good on tibia imo, looks like a natural black guy proportions, although i know tibia cant lengthen as much safely as femur.

Edit Post

aesthetically 7.5 cm on tibia look perfectly fine but your body may not handle that well. If id be you I would go for  7 cm in tibia.

femurs looks not so bad. tibias look like stilted.....

Your tibs look equal in length to your fibs... This is why I think that the fib lengthen looks better. Fib is naturally supposed to be longer than tib.. Obviously not as long as what you have in the mock-up, but it works because of your naturally longer tib.

7.5cm in tib can be done, but you're asking for trouble.. Even Paley says to stick to 6.5.

Do the fib.
