A member asked:

My leg inseam is 68-69cm long and my total height is 153cm. does this mean i have a long torso/upper body? if i lengthen legs12cm will it look normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Height: Right now, your legs are growing at 45% level of your entire height. With 12 cm added with growth, you will have a lower height that matches the upper torso height level. This is fine and within normal limits!
