Title: How weird are my proportions? 5'6 to 5'11-6' doable?

Basically the title. Anything out of the ordinary with my current proportions? Do you think I could pull of 14-14.5 cm in two procedures without looking too disproportionate afterward? Just got leg xrays, tibia to femur ratio is .79

You look like you have short legs, which makes you a great candidate for LL in terms of proportions.

If your legs will stretch that much I don't think you'd look weird with a lot of lengthening.

You look like you have long arms but the torso department might let you down a bit. But your legs are also short. Id say aim for about 5’10 or 5’9 if you dont want to look out of proportion. Also this a judgement im making from all of the research ive done because im also interested in having LL done.

Yeah this is spot on what I had in mind. Long arms, short legs, but a relatively small torso. Realistically  I'll probably max out what I can in two procedures and try filling out my chest and back  in the gym.

I can make a mock-up if the top of your head is visible.  Just scribble on the face.

somethign looks a bit off but only if you really stare at it knowing that you had LL. So i would say its ok.
I think its because the femurs look too thin now that you strecthed in photoshop. if you put on muscle it will be looking normal.

You could easily get away with 5-6 inches.

Not really.  I still can't tell where your head ends and your hair begins.
