Probably we will have long term problems for lengthen one segment. Doing your arms will let you probably more long term problems so does it worth when we arent dwarfs? We will have a very bad time when we get old.
No one here is a dwarf yet we all plan on breaking our legs and lengthen them, arms aren't any different really
There are people on here who are 180-185+ and plan on doing LL still. Ultimately it all comes down to the person, once I have a consultation and the doctor says its ok to do the humerus and assuming I have the money and time I'd do it. If the dr advices against it then its obvious I wont
Which doctor do you plan to go to in India, lucky for you that you live in India so no Visa issues 
How much are you going to lengthen each Humerus?
There seems to be no real consensus on humerus lenghtening. Some sources say less than 3-4CM is preferable and some report lenghtening up to 8-9CM without any problems at all. A 3CM gain doesn't sound like much but it will do wonders for your proportions if your arms are too short.
You will only need AL only if you you lengthen your legs more than 10 cm. That will take you more than 2 years. Do that first before you even consider it. 2 years is a long long time, way too long.
Stop dreaming around guys...

Which is the majority of people who do both tibias and femurs... Not everyone will do AL after 10cm or so, it all comes down to the person
But 3cm is the least amount I'd do or maybe 4cm, it will depend on proportions obviously. The less discrepancies the less lengthening. And yes it will take about 2 years or more to do both tibias and femurs and recover from it so AL is still a distant adventure but not an unrealistic one.
You might be able to do it all in one year if you use internals (6 months internal tibias and 6 months internal femurs).
I think it's very uncommon for people to do more than one surgery.
