My femur and tibia both equate to 47-47 cm. before cll tibia was 41 and femurs 47. The tibias do look very long now at a ratio of 1. If i did femurs to balance out the proportions of legs but tht would make overall torso look short. wat r the suggestions.

What height are you now? I don't think it's worth it to lengthen more just to get legs looking proportional if you're a good height already.

from 5'8 to 5'10 so yea im happy with the height. i would consider it but its just that the looks of walking on stilts sometimes confuses me. also i had longer legs to begin with compared to torso.

Basically im stuck now. Even if i want to lengthen femurs for better proportions i cannot do it, because i have a relatively shorter torso so it will make it look even shorter in comparison to my legs. What i can do is to compress a few mm right now as i am still in frames.

The only person on this planet who will ever notice this is you. Keep your height and heal correctly. Reversing would be pretty incredibly stupid.

It seems to me that long tibias creates the illusion of a taller height than it actually is. At least when I put on lift-shoes with 6cm (I'm 5'8 without shoes), my tibias also look long and it doesn't look bad.
How short is your torso? Perhaps, 3-4 cm on femurs wouldn't spoil your proportions. What is your sitting height?

yes tht because ur streamlined when standing. you see the whole leg of the person not tibias particularly. try wearing 2.5inch lifts with additional 1 inch shoes heels, and sitdown on a chair keeping tibias perpendicular to femurs. ul be surprised how noticeable they become.
