So my budget is $35000

I want to do cross lengthening 5cm femur - 5cm tibias (might do 6cm tibias just for assurance) but most likely be satisfied with 10cm unless you guys would recommend it safe to go a few cms over.

My current height is 5'3, 161cm - weight is 58kg 128lbs

So far the doctors that I have found to be in my budget are all the Indian ones and Dr Solomin & Dr Kulesh (I think).

Any advice on some other doctors to research and can people advice me on what sort of frames I should have with cross lengthening. Internal? LL? Etc

My end goal is to be 5'7, my girlfriend is 5'6 and I wear insoles of 3 inches with her. When she comes over, she doesn't mind me being a bit shorter than her (we don't really stand next to each other if she comes over). But i'd like to be at least a few inches taller than her rather than some days feeling taller than her, some days feeling shorter.

All my friends are around 5'8 - 5'10 so a goal of 5'7 then 2 or 3 inch insoles would be perfect.

look into Dr. Giotikas he can do external tibias for 27k
but charges internal femurs for 45k

Dr. Parihar is a good option too over both those indian doctors you mentioned.
he charges around 15k for external tibias i believe
and he does internal femurs too but i dont know the price.

I would prolly pick Dr. Giotikas tho because located in Greece. Read the recent diaries on here
He has very very good credentials
Dr. Giotikas 4 segment cross lengthening price is 54k euros though.

Thank you but 54000 euros would be way out of my budget. So i'm not sure about that. I had just looked into him before making this thread

your not gnna get a good doctor for 35k cross lengthening. your health should be more important than the extra 25k you will have to save up.
or you can do just one segment

Android stopped lengthening because started knee problems
Jim Dabarber has nerve damage which caused a drop foot, cannot walk normally
Russian doctor don’t prescribe oxycodone so lots suffer very severe pain for long time

As you mentioned  in another thread if it’s true you are dyslexic, better seek help of your family or friends to understand the very high risk rate of CLL
