Quote from: inquisitivemind on January 29, 2014, 05:22:54 AMdo you know approximately how much difference the cost would be?



also, the way I see it, he could recommend precice but money isn't easy - i would still consider paying more to do the other methods just to do it with him though. He's still an amazing surgeon and would be in the states, yes?

Hm... now I'm wondering whether he will still perform lengthening with external only or LON/LATN for cosmetic cases. I e-mailed him saying that the Precise was not in my budget and asked for a quote for externals or LON/LATN and this is the response from him:

"There is no savings with these methods since they require two surgeries: one to put everything in and one to lock the nail and remove the external fixator."

I guess if you were to insist on those methods he might do it, but you won't be getting any discount in price when all is said and done, apparently.

Thanks! That's a shame.

Quote from: Kilokahn on January 29, 2014, 05:16:49 AMHe will also do external only or LON/LATN. He encourages using Precise over all the other options though.

I have the impression that Dr. Paley only uses PRECICE in cosmetic lengthening cases.

Yea that's what it seems like now after I e-mailed him again recently.

For anyone who has done LL under Dr Paley, how much (I know it would depend on each lifestyle, but I'm looking for a ballpark figure) would be the entire cost for?

• Femur Precise 2, 8cm
• Entire stay in Florida and all expenses
• Excluding airfare
• Excluding nail removal

And I'm asking this just a shot in the dark, hoping someone (non-American) has done LL under Dr Paley. And for the vets, maybe you can guess, considering your own experience from say, Europe? Would it reach 150K?

Any Dr Paley diary available online?

Thanks in advance!

Quote from: ChrisIsaak on October 02, 2013, 06:10:23 PMI would also like to add that there's a nail removal cost of $15,000, so add that to the expenses. Dr. Paley is an excellent surgeon, so if you can afford him, the additional expense shouldn't be much of a problem. Safety doesn't have a price.
Anyone know when the nails are removed?

And is there any rehab/physical therapy necessary after the nails are removed?

I was always quite intrigued by his case. He claimed to gain 10+CM out of the Precise 2, barely 5'10 to a solid 6'2. Additionally, he claims to still look proportional, 5CM over his wingspan! I wish he'd share more details about his lengthening journey.

Agreed. Most pictures I've seen of patients with 8 cm added to femurs look slightly off, which is probably his case… but does he care? Still I envy him for being able to do it so young, but sadly not everybody have parents who can drop $90K on a whim.
