Anyone doing LL with Guichet in the next few months?

Quote from: ReadRothbard on October 01, 2014, 04:08:53 PMHonestly, in my personal opinion, Dr. Guichet is probably the best lengthening doctor alive today--except maybe for Dr. Paley. Your money would be very well spent with him.

I agree. I think the best three (in no particular order) are Dr. Guichet, Dr. Rozbruch, and Dr. Paley. There are other fantastic doctors outside of these three, but these are the cream of the crop in my opinion.

These people are also take 40% of the profit straight into their pockets..For a surgery that takes aprox 2 hours to complete. They are voltoures that feed on the desperation of men. The surgery could be done for 2000 USD. If it wasnt glamourised by the doctors and fear mongers.

They are expensive because they are in a good hospital not because they in themselves are magnificent doctors. And also the method they use. If it was not for these 2 things.

Rest is up to luck and general habit.

I generally agree that there's not necessarily a correlation between price and quality (this is true in many other services/products outside of LL), but I would rather know that I'm being taken care of by a highly experienced doctor in a reputable hospital.

Look at Dr. Betz - he's not cheap (I think he charges around what Guichet charges), but how many stories have we heard about bent nails from him? Not a bad doctor, but with something like LL (considering the risks and the money), I'd rather go to someone with a (virtually) impeccable reputation like Guichet/Rozbruch/Paley.

I'm just wondering if Guichet still uses those long screws that many patients said it hurt like hell

I have no idea if he still does. That would probably be something you'd have to ask him through email; I don't think that would be on his site.

I don't know if this has been asked thousand times by now I would expect so but I haven't found anything so take mercy if my questions ignorant. Is anybody able to go to these doctors without having all the funds available? Has anyone gotten any type of cosmetic loans or otherwise? What's out there as far as financing surgery by these docs

I think you would just go to your local bank for fianancial. I'd have as much money as I could upfront, though.

Guichet has said I should budget for around $80K USD, but that's including an extra month of training at the isokinetic center, and he told me he's also being conservative regarding living costs while in Milan. Sigh...maybe I can do it for $70K if I'm cheap in every other possible way. I plan to leave my retirement savings untouched, but this is like more than one third of my cash savings. Not cool. Wonder if I should pay half in cash, and the get a loan for the other half...

I just wish to God there was a quality doctor who had a weight-bearing internal solution for $60K (all in) or less. As much as I want the surgery, I'm also not a kid like some of you guys (< 25 years old) and I'm looking to buy a house in the next few years.

I guess as a guy, I feel pressure not only to be "not short" but also to have money. I feel like life is so much easier for women (as long as they're not fat) lol. As long as I'm physically and emotionally attracted to a woman, I don't judge her for her money, height, status, etc.

the french health care system is one of the best in the world, and guichet is a very skilled doctor, as a french i prefer doing limb lenghtening with him, even if you have to do a lot of sacrifices

Hi, guys,

I am to be operated the 4th of December by dr. Guichet, in Milan: I have done all the exams but the biologics (i.e. blood test, dentist, anesthesiologist evaluation): I am Italian and I will start a diary about my upcoming experience. I am a sports medicine doctor, 45 y.o in March 2015, 176,5-177 cm, weighing 71 Kg.

I will reside at Desuite Hotel, in an apartment of 30 meters squared, from the 1st of December till the 10th of January (if all goes well): I am going for 4,8-5 cm (max 35 days of lenghtening), being this a compromise between my wanting to be taller and my job-needs and my aim to recover as fully as possible (being an athlete myself).

Maybe I should already start my diary?...or is it too early?

Cheers.
