Hi guys, I'm a 5'7" male currently considering LL to boost my height to 5'10" (so about 7.62cm).

Some measurements:
Height: roughly 5'7" (give a few mm to a cm up at most)
Wingspan: About 5'11" (it's been a while since I last measured)
Foot size: 10.5 - 11 depending on company.
Hand size: 7.6" (length from wrist to tip of middle)

My main concern is the length of my torso. Does it seem proportional? I've always been told I have a short torso, and I don't know if the lengthening would be noticeable. I also have thicker, generally more muscular legs, so I'm thinking my torso would look ok provided my legs are also thinned out by LL. Thoughts?

My mock-up. I added roughly the same amount to my femur and tibias. (2.54 cm approx).

Nope, you look fine. Being slim really helps accentuate your torso length and i don't think that much will make a big deal. In face you could probably go for quite a bit more and still look perfectly proportionate.

Thanks man. I'm only considering going up to 5'10" atm, I'm kinda obsessed with proportions and want my legs/arms/feet/hands to maintain as close to normal as possible. Besides, I'm not looking to be tall with LL, I just want to be slightly above average. Anything greater than that will probably be done by other methods as science improves. Otherwise, 5'10" is good enough for me.

As another note some additional info about me:
Race/ethnicity: Southeast Asian.
Age: 19 (considering future LL, not soon, unless my plates have already fused)

Also, I'm going to be wearing a suit for most of my employed life. What do you guys think of my proportions whist "dressed"?  New member here! What do you guys think of these proportions?

I can't find a measuring tape atm, so with ruler stacking I'd like to say my sitting height is somewhere around (37-42 inches, or roughly 100cm). I'll give more precise measurements later if needed.

Yeah, your proportions would be great as in your mock up. Absolutely nothing to worry about there.

Nice, this bodes well for my chances. This is something I'm definitely looking into now.
