Do YOU have long/average/short legs?

There's an option you have to set for the link, look where you get the link and ensure that it's public or whatever. Whenever I try to click on that link it says I have to ask for permission, which means everyone else who wants to see has to ask for permission; ergo, it's not public

OK. Here it is:

I think you have good proportions for LL.
Go for 6-6.5 cm in tibias and you'll look veey good. At your height 1 LL is enough imo.

So you say my leg to torso ratio is average?

Yes and maybe your feet are a little on the short side compared to your torso so your proportions won't be ruined with LL. On the contrary, I think you'll look better.

Thanks, mate. Well, my shoe size is actually 27.5, so I do not have small feet.

Shoe size is different from leg's length. With small feet I refer to the latter.

Here I my stats:

Relative lenghts, starting from the floor:
floor: 0 cm
ankle: 7 cm
knee: 42 cm
hip bone: 87 cm
shoulders: 130 cm
below the chin: 135 cm
top head / total height: 156 cm

Absolute lenghts:
head length: 156 cm
neck length: 5 cm
torso (hip bone to shoulder): 48 cm
femur (knee to hip bone): 40 cm
tibias (ankle to knee): 35 cm
foot (floor to ankle): 7 cm

inseam point to hip bone difference: 15 cm [(floor to femur) minus (inseam)]
inseam - 67 cm
wing span - 164 cm

sitting height - 84 cm
weight - 63 kg
strong/athletic physique, almost overweight for BMI, cuz of muscles, not skinny, can stretch very well

Notes on ratios and proportions:
max height, before looking weird (rule of thumb) = wing span + 10 cm = ape index of plus 10
average Sitting Height Ratio (SHR) = sitting height/height: 48-52%
average (inseam/height) = 45%
average tibia/femur = 80%

Current ratios before LL:
ape index = minus 8 cm
SHR = 53.85%
inseam/height = 42.95%
tibia/femur = 87.5%
When my arms hang, my inseam point is at half of my palm length

The plan is to go from 156 cm to 172 cm, starting after 3.5 years from now with 10 cm on femur,
and 3 years later with 6 cm on tibias. Since my femurs got loads of muscle mass, and they are shorter than they should in terms of proportions to tibias.
(This would also fix my bow legs simultanously. In my initial mail I got the reply that is no problem to achieve.)
I will go with Dr. Betz, cuz I live in germany, and he gives the patient what he wants, and I trust my body to withstand it without problems.

Ratios and proportions after two LL procedures:
height 156 cm > 172 cm (+16)
femur 40 cm -> 50 cm (+10)
tibias 35 cm -> 41 cm (+6)
wing span 164 cm
inseam 67 cm -> 83 cm

ape index from minus 8 cm -> plus 8 cm, good thing my arms hang low enough to look good anyway
SHR = 53.85% -> 48.8%
inseam/height = 42.95% -> 48.26%
tibia/femur = 87.5% -> 82.0%

Haven't had the appointment with Betz yet. It's planned for autumn.

My height is 176.0cm 
Torso is 92.71cm. 
My length of my feet are 11.0 inches.
My hands are around 8 inches across and 7.5" from wrist to the top of my middle finger.
I have a 52.67% torso to leg ratio.
My ratio would be considered slightly above average, right?
