well...........these prices....
why do doctors get greedy. it really annoys me when they try to rip us off.
the title should read........... we are giving you an update so we can tell you how much we love to take your money. because your a worthless piggy bank and we just want to take as much as we can get.
whats the deal with frame removal,is that really 20,000 euros lol
God it's ridiculous how much they charge for the nails. Charge a little extra for the surgery and the cost of the nails sure, but LOOOOOOL and what they claim the nails are costing them. I work for a tool retailer and it would blow your mind how cheap it is to make things (and these are high quality tools). I've seen the company buy high quality industrial nails that sell easily for $22-25/box and the buy them at less then $1 per box.
I'm telling you guys these nails are sooooo cheap to make, it's just the engineering/development side that costs anything. Hospitals just know we are willing to pay ridiculous amounts extra because they are so advantageous to external only.
When you add the costs of Russia now it would be better to go to China which has a better track record. Or India if you need cheap.

Russian doctors are greedy??? Do you think other doctors like Paley, Guichet or Betz are better? The price is a fking joke for what you get. Dont tell me medical care is more expensive in western countries and so on...
The prices for LL in Russia are very good!
You should complain about Paley, Rozbruch or Mahboubian and not about Russian doctors. They do a good job for a reasonable price!
Stupid complaints!
Go to India if it is too expensive for you!
Oh this is ridiculous they reduced the 3 month to a 1 month stay? Screw that man, what other Russian doctors would do a frame removal for less than this price? Specifically what's so difficult about removing the frames that requires an LL doctor? Couldn't any MD remove them?
I was thinking to go to Russia, but now they have nearly increased the price by 50%, I think I'll be heading to India ..
Guess dr mitkovic is my next option
Is 14500EU LON also or is it only Ilizarov frames surgery?
So if the quoted 14500 EU is only Ilizarov frames surgery and the nails are NOT included, It'll cost 18500 For LON right?
Quote from: Antonina on August 02, 2015, 01:58:42 PM1.How many patients have been treated by you for Cosmetic Leg Lengthening?
Over 200 cosmetic leg lengthening and over a quarter of this operations was for medical reasons. Also more than 1500correction of the shape of legs.
2. Which techniques do you use?
In most cases external Ilizarov frames and his technique are used. In some cases we use apparatuses of different designs. As an exception lengthening over nails (LON) is applied. The method to be used depends on many factors and is very individual taking into consideration specific needs of the patient.
3. How much do you your currently charge for cosmetic LL for each procedure? When will these prices change?
For the year 2015 the price of LL on the lower leg is 14,500 euros which includes surgery and one month's stay in the clinic in a two-bed ward. Then 1200 euros in a month staying in the clinic and medical service. After 3 months there are several options for a patient:
a) he/she may stay in hospital till the end of treatment paying 1,000 euros for each extra month spent in hospital;
b) he/she may rent an apartment till the frames are taken off;
c) he/she may go home for the period of bone consolidation and come back to remove the frames.
d) he/she may go to a spa in Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic where the frames will be removed (in this case the price is 20,000 euros);
In 2012 we start performing surgery on the upper leg using LON technique. The package price of this surgery is about 30,000 euros.
The nail – 4,000 euros the operation and a week of staying in the hospital.
The cost of bow leg correction is 7500 euros
4. What are the lengthening limits for your procedures?
Commonly, lengthening which does not interfere with proportion between shinbones and thighs is 5-7 cm (2" -3"). Besides, lengthening within this limit is much safer. The maximum lengthening in our Center for cosmetic reasons was 10 cm. Apart from purely esthetic reasons, the maximum lengthening is limited by individual stretching capabilities of soft tissues, as well as regenerative capability of the bone tissue. Lengthening of the femurs is possible only by 5 cm.
5. Do your patients need to do any preparation before for their treatment?
Usually no special preparations are needed. Nevertheless, patients must be physically healthy. Prior to surgery patients undergo general medical examination, ECG, radiography, they have blood and urine tests done. Examination may as well be done before the patient comes to the clinic.
6. Is accommodation included in your pricing?
The price as shown in answer 3 is a package price.

Absolute contraindications are acute and infectious diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases, chronic diseases with decompensation of inner organs, some skin diseases and psychiatric conditions.
8. In what percentage of cases do your patients experience complications?
Patients experience some complications in less than 5% of my patients. In all cases of complications timely treatment is carried out.
9. Are complications or unscheduled surgery covered in your costs?
We do not charge anything for treating complications arising in course of treatment, unless these complications are due to the patient's violation of rules of treatment and medical advice.
10. Is there any insurance available to cover the patient's treatment?
No. Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance.
