Quote from: alwayslucky on November 13, 2021, 02:33:01 AMThank you for your explanation, brother. Anyway, it seems that he is a capable doctor who can greatly reduce the risk of complications
He is the best one hands down but remember that he is 65+ so he will not probably make the procedure itself on you .
His team has to be great for sure but just keep that in mind
Yes, I have also considered this. I'm just a little uncertain whether his team has fully mastered all his techniques and methods to prevent and treat complications
The reason his error rate is so low is because major complications like embolism are easy to prevent, or put another way, can only be mitigated by surgery to an extent, there's always the odd ball that are immune to treatment. Cases where they do happen is when the surgeon is just blatantly ignorant or extremely unlucky. Sometimes the patient can just have a perfect storm of ailments that result in complications that can't be prevented, or there was some sort of administrative mixup. But if you're perfectly healthy otherwise, the chances that you're one of these people is even lower than someone who, say, suffered trauma or is obese.
Paley and his team have definitely not mastered everything there is to know about LL, and no surgeon alive right now has. If you're trying to find a surgery that has 0% risk, this is definitely not one of them. LL is still a risky procedure, which is why it's not as well adopted as liposuction or boob jobs, for comparison. But I don't think you have to worry about major complications if you go to a good surgeon. The major complications are highly unlikely if you're healthy and you haven't had past traumas.
However, minor complications seem to occur quite frequently based on data and if you look at patient experiences in the forum.
BTW, I compiled a list of risk factors here: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=68402.msg206963#msg206963
These are some of the things that can affect your outcome just as much as the surgeon you choose.
Thank you, brother, for your inspiring words. I am glad to find that I am almost completely healthy as a young man of about 20 years old. Ha ha
