Quote from: Limbfan2020 on April 18, 2022, 12:47:47 PMYeah, both are quite different surgeries but keep in mind that Dr. Axel Becker is trained by a very experienced doctor in the field of limb lenghtening: Dr. Betz.

Still, even if a surgeon was focusing 100% attention to LL it would not be enough. A surgeon needs to keep up with what is going on in the world, new research, new methods, tools, findings, handle a wide variety of bone cases (not just cosmetic). If he has to spend 40% of his time doing other non LL stuff then its just not ideal. If he spent doing 40% of time doing hip replacements maybe that would help a little but hair transplant is simply not related.

There are always exceptions so idk if he will be the first one to excel in both.

No serious and respectable orthopedic surgeon specializes in anything else than orthopaedics anywhere in the world! The guy is clearly money-hungry, offering every expensive cosmetic procedure that he can make profit from.
The even more worrying thing imo is that Betz chose him as his partner(!)Which makes me worry a lot about Betz's credibility and motivation as well.

Quote from: llaspirant on April 16, 2022, 12:00:08 PMHow can we get Dr Becker to appear as a guest on Cyborg4Life YouTube channel?

He is one of the 4 surgeons in the world today privileged to use a weight bearing device for LL. He has personally learned from Dr Betz himself.

A surgeon's ability to acquire presumably in-house hardware shouldn't imply anything about the pearls of their technique. If you have any peer reviewed case studies at this surgeon put them in; especially if it's at a reputable journal like https://www.cureus.com/

Want to inform here that he is only doing LL nowadays. In the past he did other aesthetic surgeries like hair transplant or tummy tuck. However, it is impossible to be an LL surgeon and not have your entire time filled with this job.

From what you write, I understand that he is a plastics surgeon who decided to dive in LL one day.  what is his legal qualification title and training? is he an orthopaedic surgeon or a plastics surgeon? and what is his previous experience with bones and fractures? Why did he abandon his previous practice and experience with hair transplant and tummy tucks? ...sorry for the questions but something doesn't fit here.

I don’t have the papers from pre op anymore, unfortunately, but I can see if it is written on something else as well. It said he is a Facharzt (specialized Doctor) for orthopedics and orthopedic surgery, he is also a Facharzt for “minimally invasive limb lengthening”. Same as Doctor Betz. On top of that also plastic surgery.
In Germany I think it’s a four year training after your regular Dr title in a specialised field to gain the title of Facharzt. He worked with Betz for some years now.
I don’t know his personal reasons why he chose to change his field, can be a lot of reasons but the accusation of you is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

Why are you assuming he still does hair transplants?  LL seems to be his full time job.
