Hey guys , I am a 5'5 guy living in India although it is the said average height for an Indian male I'm pretty short for most occasions ,
I wish to get limb lengthening done (8 cm on femur and 5 cm on tibia is the plan , one at a time obviously)  , I'm not much worried about my athletic abilities as I seldom run long distances what I want to know is how fked up would my proportions look after I've gained 13 cm as the length from my waist below is about 93 cm leaving no more than 72 cm for my upper half and if I were to gain about 13cm the total length difference on my upper and lower body would be a whopping 30 cm ~ yeah almost a foot.

Should I give up and just get used to my height ?  I don't hate it for most parts but would love to become taller and going from 5'5 to 5'8 doesn't seem like a big change to me.

Should I lower my goal and get like 5cm on both my femur and tibia so that they're more even.

Also my wingspan sucks 167cm

Suggestions please.

Hey man I really wanted to get to talk to you , have you been back to the gym after your ll ? how's it been if you have?

Also I wonder it would look weird if I had really long femur's and short tibia don't you think?

P.s My tibia's are really short when compared to my femur but I hear that Internals on femur are much less complicated than internals on tibia
