I have it planned, I will lengthen 10 cm to become 165 cm tall. However, my sitting height is 78.5 cm and right now with a 154.5 total height my ratio is around 0.51, which is kind of natural and normal. However if I become 165 and my sitting height keeps being 78.5 my ratio will be around 0.47, which I had never seen someone with such ratio. Should I do it? Will I look weird after it?
It probably won't be noticeable. People don't pay attention to proportions that much in real life--only on this forum lol. I remember calculating that in order for your proportions to be "perfect", that you need to be 5'9. You'd probably pull off 5'7 decently .
I think at a ratio of .47 you will be kind of leggy but it probably won't look unnatural if you add 5 cms to each segment. Post some mock ups.
It doesn't matter how other people think. It depends on how you feel. If you seek 10cm increase, try wearing a 10cm lift. That's how you are approximately after you lengthen 10cm. Wear a pair of jeans and check yourself in the mirror. Your legs will look long but if you feel comfortable with pulling that off, then go for it. It's your life so do whatever that makes you happy.
Personally, my tibias are a bit long but I'm still experimenting with a 2.5inch lift. I can think I can pull off another 7-8cm in the femur and feel happy about myself. Obviously, you won't look like a normal male model with long torso and your legs will look longer than average. There is always a trade-off between proportion and height. For me, I would choose the later.
wow, you have a very small ratio, my natural ratio is 0.55 , 91cm sitting height for 165cm

You have short legs, very good for lengthening 
Yes i have . I think short legs are very anti aesthetic. My image will improve a lot after lengthening

I agree with your claim that short legs look anti aesthetic, but not yours tough. Yours are slightly below average. Average is about 45% leg length to height ratio. Ive got a good friend of mine, I didnt measure him but Im sure he has like a 41-42%, it really looks goofy and unattractive.
You can get away with 10 cm of lengthening and after 10 cm your leg to height ratio will be 48% and thats in the range of ideal(in my opinion). As long as you stay above 45% and below 49%, you will be fine. How much are you planing to lengthen?

A maximum of 10cm in two surgerys. And a minimum of 6cm in one.

I don't think you'll look weird at all man just be sure to work On Your upper body. Unless you got abnormally broad shoulders you'll have to work to not seem like the those typical skinny slender man looking guys out there. Far as proportions most of those discrepancies if any can be fixed with the right clothes. I don't think .47 that terrible a ratio it's what I'll have when I'm through
