I'm 99% sure going to PT will straighten my back and be at least 5'10 (5'9 and a half) the thing is I have short as fack legs. I don't want to be mocked up. I just want to know If I should get my tibias or femurs lengthening. I really have small tibias and I would consider doing it if 6.5-7 is possible. Otherwise I'd get 3 inches femur. What do you guys think? Will 2 inches and a half look on my tibias?

Post full body man. Can't see how short your legs are without your torso. Anyways, you're 5'10, just wear 2 inch lifts.

If I was your height I would not do LL, but if you want to badly I would not do femur LL because your knees look close together as it is. Its called Valgus knees or X-legs. Lengthening your femurs more will definitely enhance the Valgus.

So I would do Tibia lengthening. But maximum 5cm and using external fixators. I would not get an internal nail for tibia lengthening because of the high risk of permanent knee pain.

I get the same feeling, dude. I'm only 5'7.5" but my legs look super short whenever I look in the mirror (30" pant length). Does anyone know the formula for determining the ideal body proportions? I looked some stuff up on Google just now, and found a bodybuilding forum that said Total Height / Height to Belly Button = ratio. That would make mine 67.5" and 40" and a ratio of 1.68 but it doesn't seem ideal to me lol.
