You have a really long torso which is good.
I really advise you to start hitting the gym. You have a swimmer-body type. If you will fill it up with some muscle you will be amazed of how much you will gain.
I have the same body type as you but I am 8cm shorter and still, I get a lot of comments about how big I look. It has gotten much better after I started lifting.
just lift as heavy as possible then?

Depends what you like.
I like powerlifting so I lift heavy (160kg high bar squat, 190kg deadlift etc..).
I would advise on any program that has squat, deadlift, bench and overhead press.
You can try stronglifts 5X5 to gain strength for a couple of months. Afterwords you can go to a normal AB bro-split or continue with powerbuilng programs (fusion of powerlifting and bodybuilding) like the 5/3/1 mixed with BBB or somlov junior for bench and squat.
no problem buddy thanks for the info and help on the matter 
just another thing on this what would be the best option for amount increased like to get 6'2 should i go like 5cm in both femurs and thibia just curious
Best is 5cm each but you can go for 6/4 or even 7/3 (they highier number being femur).
But almost no one does 2 surgeries because of cost and logistics.
Also, have you tried lifts? Try them if not. Get a 1 inch insole and see if that makes any difference to you. You will be amazed how much of a difference 1 inch does to your POV (I was amazed).
hi sorry for the late reply but what would you say would be the best to do the only reason i say 5 cm in each is because then my legs won't look incredibly odd they will have the same difference in length that they've always had just a little longer.
i would use lift but i normally wear running shoes like nike roshe runs and so on so the lift would make me come flying out of the shoe lol.
also how long would the recovery time be and why is it you have to wait to do the 2nd surgery sorry just really new to the whole surgery part of this been reading about it for quite some time.
I don't think the combined time plus cost of two surgeries would be worth it just for proportions. We're talking around 2 years and $150k+ (for a good, stateside doctor) of your life and money gone here.
If you want my advice, do what I'm doing and call it a day. You could even do less than I'm doing if you want. I'm a little shorter than you, but when I'm done I'll finally be the glorious 6 ft. I'm currently going through LL in my femurs, I plan to get at least 7.5cm out of it and be done with it forever. According to what the surgeon has said, I'll be able to walk sometime in late August/early September and be back to my athletic abilities by November. After that, I'm calling the journey complete and you should look into doing the same.
My diary can be found in Patients Experience section if you have any questions, good luck making your decision.
the only reason i was talking about 2 surgeries was because i didn't want it to be super noticeable to have longer upper legs then bottom you see. i mean what would be the best option if i had one surgery of lengthening amount in the femurs to get close to 6'0 or 6,1 6,2 etc also if you don't mind could you let me know what your height was before you started LL surgery.
also what did you do the prepare for LL and what was the clinic/Dr you are doing it with again only if you don't mind thanks and again sorry for the late reply.

No worries. That's a smart way of thinking, but honestly it's really not as noticeable as you'd think. Most people already have longer femurs anyways, so really it'll just be even longer but it's still not very noticeable especially when you wear clothes. When you're not wearing clothes though, is the girl you're with really gonna be studying your proportions lol?
So yeah, I'd definitely recommend you to just do one internal femurs surgery and get somewhere between 5cm - 6.5cm. That'll only be 2 months and some change, and you'll be anywhere from 6'0.5 - 6'1 which would be very great for you. My starting height was slightly below 5'9, like 5'8.75. All your other questions can be answered by finding my diary, I'd highly suggest you read it. It's still ongoing.
