So I am almost two years post-op, and since finding this forum, have been obsessed with analyzing my proportions. For a while, I was worried my legs were long, but after measuring them, I found that they were only 44.4% of my total height. The other interesting thing I noticed is that my mom who is a little over three inches shorter than I am has legs that are at least three inches longer than mine. So knowing that my legs are about average for my post surgery heigh alleviates a lot of my proportion neurosis. I am still a little worried that my Femurs are a little too long compared to my tibia, but I imagine that few people if any would notice that. So I know some people will think that if you do this surgery, you will be disproportionate but it varies by person, and as long as you don't go too far no one will notice. So I recommend worrying more about safety and athletic recovery more than anything.
