I had an X-ray to measure my legs, and the total limb length is approximately 84.5 cm.
Do you consider my legs long given my height of 172cm?
Will I appear disproportionate after elongating my quads by 10cm (5cm femur + 5cm tibia)?
Kindly refrain from dismissing the importance of proportions.
The wingspan is not a problem; I am willing to undergo humerus lengthening if necessary. My main worry is the ratio between my legs and body.

If you undergo limb lengthening by 10cm, your leg to body ratio will be around 0.52, which is quite normal. The average ratio is 0.50, so you may end up slightly leggy, but it’s not too extreme or unusual.

You should prioritize the fact that the average height is 178cm and you are currently 6cm below it. Focusing on minor discrepancies in proportions that are not significant is unnecessary.

Is 84 cm only the length of your femur and tibia or does it include your foot?

People believe that proportions are crucial, but in fact, they are not significant. Unless you are extending over 10 cm on a single segment, there is no need to worry.
