Yes, 8 cm femurs + 6 cm tibia with one year gap.

that would be nice , thank you for responding

Yes it’s possible

You can also do 6.5 cm on femurs and then 6.5 on tibias.

Already being tallish would actually help! The percentage of bone length increase would be smaller and less taxing.

You can do it but I don’t see the point. Going to 6’5” with really long legs will make you stick out way too much for disproportion. I saw a 6’7” guy in the street a few weeks before surgery who had the proportions of someone who did extreme leg lengthening. It doesn’t look good, he looks awkward and people were staring at him.
Now if you want to get to 6’2 or 6’3 it’ll be unnoticeable.

I agree going from 6’0 to 6’2, 6’3 would be unnoticeable and would be the best for proportions

Don't do 6.5 tibia like someone else recommended, femurs recover much faster/ easier than tibias so you should lengthen them more than the tibia, not equally. I’d say 8cm femur and 5cm tibia is probably the best. I wouldn’t push tibia past 5cm otherwise it gets pretty sketchy for complications.
