Cosmetic LL is a shady practice for shady surgeons and it corrupts doctors but some doctors are worse than others. Monegal and Betz have a very bad reputation in this forum (liars and dishonest doctors). They don't have a good heart. They fish patients and then don't care about the issues they cause them or deceive them if they are stupid enough to believe them.
It really amuses me how people in this forum would go and spead 100 000$ to have their legs broken just because they think if they go with a more famous doctor that charges more money, it will be more likely for them to return to 100% of their outstanding athletic abiliteis and potentially challange Usain Bolt on the olympics and Leo Messi in the Champions League ....
The reality is that there are many anonymous doctors out there who will do just as good a job and will get you the same results in less than 20 000$. And the reality is that you will never be as before.
When I was in study abroad to the US I paid once 150 for a routine blood exam, something that in Europe would cost 30-40 euro. Do you think there will be a difference in execution that would justify the 300% difference in price ? If you think go ahead and visit Paley, then you will be competitive for the olympics hahahaha

That is not true
High experienced surgeon cost more money than the less one.The price is upon there skill
you can not compare to regular procedure like blood test or vaccine ,they have reason to be expensive relate with there costs(rent,labor,etc)
But it is better to find some good surgeon with more reasonable price
100000 us is too much
Read Cooper's diary. He didnt went to Paley again because he wanted to save money and when he went to Monegal in Spain to do tibias he took one of the worst decisions in his life. His own words

I agree but it is impossible. Well, it depends how you define a good doctor. For some people here only GUichet and Paley are good enough.
The only reason I had the courage to actually break my legs and go through with this sh*t was because I knew and was fully confident in the caliber of Dr. Guichet's expertise. I'm sure I'd have felt similarly with Paley and/or Rozbruch. Of course, things can go wrong with any doctor...but when it comes to your legs, money should be no object.
Out of all the things to worry about with CLL, the "morality" of the doctor should be at the bottom of the list.
Research other cosmetic surgeries, all the doctors operate that way.
Advertising for breast enlargement plays on insecurity over having small tits, breast reduction surgery plays on the insecurity of having too large of tits. CLL plays on the insecurity of being short, and the docs try to make money on it.
Nothing wrong with that. Money drives advancements, which benefits guys in the future.
Pick your method, pick the skill level and doctor you can afford. Really is that easy. Just don't let money force you into a doc you know is no good.
That south African doc has good results and is only like what, $50-$60 thousand? That's cheap. (fooling yourself if you think that's a lot of money)
External tibs with Catagni is cheaper still, and he's a good doc.
My pick would likely be Guichet, Mahboubian, and then Paley, in that order, because they all do the method I would pick, have the skill level I want, and i can afford them. Why would I pick less experience to save money?
And with the possible exception of Mahboubian, none of them market very aggressively compared to other cosmetic surgeries and surgeons.
When I had my daughter treated for melanoma, we went with the best surgeon in the USA. She still made a "mistake" that resulted in another surgery...just the way it goes.
Is she ok now?

Yes, thanks for asking. 
We're treating her scars now. (face, neck, scalp) So we ended up at a plastic surgeon that does a ton of other cosmetic surgeries.
It was quite an eye opener, this whole cosmetic surgery business.
Good. Best wishes.
