Greetings, this is my first time posting here, excuse my english since it's not my mother language.

So, I have made some measures, I really can't say if my height is 166,5cm or 168cm (about 5'6), but it's around that, and my inseam is 78cm (about 30in)...

My dream height is 6'(183cm), but I can't really reach it without messing up m proportions, so I will settle for 5'10(167~168cm), which is pretty good for my country!

But I still wonder if I would have to do 2 surgeries to reach that height and if those extra 10cm would mess up my proportions, my inseam would go to 88cm (34.6in), pretty long! Even for a 5'10 guy...
My inseam/height ration would go from around 46% to almost if not fixed 50%!

Suggestions?

Update: forgot to say that my wingspan is 177cm(~5'10), also, I have been using this tool to check out proportions, but I guess it really depends on each person... But still very useful! http://www.bodyvisualizer.com/

You are welcome ouroboros ^^

It's great to give an idea how you might look, but nobody is alike body wise, so you should try to do a mockup pic of yourself to see how you would look after surgery! :3

Hmm, I should try a mockup pic, but I have no pics to use and I don't know how to do a good mockup... :c

We can't be completely sure that he really is long legged, since there are many different definitions of inseam (crotch to ground, crotch to top of ankle, or even just whatever length pants you regularly buy). Go by sitting height instead. Measure yours, and divide it by your total height to get your SH ratio. Then find out what percentile your SH ratio is for your gender/age here:

btw--I'd venture to guess that your 30 inseam pants do a bit of bunching up around your ankles. You may be a true 28.

Only underwear is a good way to see your real proportions and for safety reasons we don't ask people to show their face you can blur it or something.
