Humerous or Forearm

[cig]

If someone wanted to do it what would they choose?
Im trying to gather some information about LL.  It seems the legs are easiest to decide - the tibia.  But what about the arm?
I would think the humerous right??? cause if we see in pictures its always that arm that is captured.  and when we see people we sorta see their face and upper body more so it would be right to have the humerous?

Give me your opinions.  i am still at the baby stages of deciding LL.

Arm lengthening looks more uncomfortable than LL from what I've been told by a few vets on here, so I can't imagine you'd think of doing it before you even started a LL procedure.

But, if one were to do arm lengthening it would seem that the humerus would be easier to lengthen and more practical. I mean, having long forearms with short upper arms would look strange whereas long upper arms with not so long forearms wouldn't seem bad. Also, I would think doing the forearms would be much more uncomfortable, you wouldn't be able to grab anything during the lengthening process I would imagine.

The Humerous is found to be easier to lengthen but I personally think longer forearms look much better, especailly since they are the section that is visible the most. But then again you have to think about the scars....

First of all, it's Humerus.

Secondly, the short bones are called the Ulna and Radius.

If you cannot even correctly name the bones in your arms, you clearly haven't done enough research to be able to lengthen them!

Once you've actually worked out what is going by doing some proper research, go and see a doctor. There is no one here with experience of actually doing it, so set-up a consultation - no one here is qualified to do so, not least people who cannot even spell it correctly

Ok.
LOL I know no one here is qualified, silly.

So guys,
If you could pick one area, the humerous or the ulna?
