I am 18 years old( I stopped growing at 15) and my height is 174 cm in the morning, and 173 cm in the evening.
My sitting height is 96 cm.
And my wingspan is 173cm, I would say only 173 cm.
My tibia is 40 cm, and my femur is 41 cm, but I am not sure if I measured it right, I hope I did.
I'd want to be tall between 183 cm and 187cm.
Well, would I look disproportionately with that height?
Can I get these 10-11 cm by one operation?
I read that the higher you are, the more centimeters you can gain. Is that true?
Every advice could help, thanks. :)

Also, I am good candidate for LL?

If you want to be functional after lengthening one segment you can't go past 6cm.
And we can't judge your proportions based on raw statistics.

But a lot of guys here menaged to lenghten their tibias for more than 8cm. The average is 7,5cm I think. So they are not funcional now or?
Okay, then, what could help you to judge my proportions? A picture or? :)
And I'll ask again, do you have better ability for lenghtening if you are taller? Or it's just a myth?

1. Ask sweden how he ended up he lengthen 7cm on his tibias.
2. Mockups of your image can give you some insight how you can look after 10cm of lengthening.
3. In theory yes since you have more soft tissue to stretch(mostly safe limit is around 15% of your total length on given segments) but for most of the people it's still around 6cm(40*0,15=6)

The average for people who never climbed a staircase again, perhaps.
