Hi Guys,
I am seriously considering LL surgery and everything was ok until I started reading about this proportion things and I am really concerned that after LL surgery, my proportion is going to be skewed
So I am around 167 cm height and my armspan is of around 168 cm , I am considering Femur lengthening so hopefully I can reach 175 cm but I am disadvantaged with short armspan , do you guys think that this is going to be noticeable or all this proportions is only a thing that I am exaggerating in my mind
because I have been reading for some patient who goes up to 6'' increase on their height whereas I am considering max 3'' to my height.
and something else for those who did the LL surgery , did you guys notice an increase in your life quality is this something that really helps I'd like to hear some expiernces from all but preferably someone who has a similar case to my proportions.
Thanks guys,,

Thanks Bro
Appreciate the response, the thing is that I feel I have long tibias and short femur that is why I was considering Femur also to enhance the femur/tibias ratio.
but my concern is that my understanding of the whole LL surgery is that the position of your hands (and upper body) stays as is and honestly if I am considering femurs I think I should maximize the increase (7 or 8 cm).
Please see the link to have better understanding of my proportions

Thanks Guys,
Yes even though my torso is a little bit short but my legs are actually shorter that is why I think the LL would be ideal to me
My only concern was going 3'' beyond the wingspan but again I think I can live with that to get taller and don't think it would be that much noticeable
