Well, if you split the procedures in multiple lengthening, you can go up to a feet or even more in that way.

But, in one go, up to 5 cm on tibia and up to 6.5 cm on femur is upper safe limits and it's been stated many times by top docs.

More like 6.5 cm rather than 8 in femurs. 8 is the red zone, ask Dr. Franz on the forum.

Becker offers 22 cm/ 9 In. Should you aim for a target like that? Is your decision

WTF, 22 cm lies in average male head length (22-24 cm). This amount of lengthening is insane, nobody will look proportional after that.

11.5 cm is exactly half a head and is significant height gain already while maintaining more or less acceptable proportions. More than that will make anyone deformed IMO. Maybe full 5 inches will look good on some patients but every cm starting from 12.5 cm will screw the proportions visibly.

Not a single person cares about your legs to torso ratio. Get over yourself. There are people who lengthened over 20 cm, they look fine.

I used to think so too until I saw one of those promotional youtube videos that brag about lengthening results. Dude who did quadrilateral looked goofy AF walking on a treadmill. All legs and a shrimp torso. I literally laughed when I saw him.

Still beats being short tho. And you can always wear a large hoodie or something to hide your shrimp torso lol.

My torso is so huge compared to my legs that I basically look like Johnny Bravo. I can get away even with 8 inches of lengthening and look just a bit leggy, but my arms will look relatively short then. IMO 6 or 6.5 inches would look fine to me, but it needs about 9 or 10 cm femur and 6 or 7 cm tibia lengthening which are dangerous numbers.
