Quote from: Sean Connery on June 01, 2015, 09:04:11 PMModeling isnt the be all end all for women. Statistically 174 cm is quite tall for a woman so it makes sense she may feel awkward or too leggy.
You are right I feel awkward and too leggy. I want to be shorter than most males and this may sound weird but I want my legs a bit shorter than my torso it just looks nice to me that way
Quote from: KrP1 on June 01, 2015, 08:50:39 PMthere is no way you should do that, your height is perfectly fine, most males are taller than you and your height is considered a model height so you only could get benefits for that, long legs in womens are beautifull
I don't think most males are that taller than I am. I want to wear heels without looking too tall. I always want to be shorter than men. And I want a long torso and short legs. I like it that way. I know it sounds weird.

you are shorter than the average man in most occidental countries, obviously not if you wear high heels , you should wear médium or low heels and thats fine.
Hello guys, thank you so much of your input. I have decided against limb lengthening surgery. I have to accept what nature gave me and appreciate what I have. At least none of my limbs are shorter than each other. After lengthy research about the complications of limb lengthening and the lengthy time of lengthening and recovery. I don't want to undergo any trauma. But thank you all for taking the time to add valuable input.
We have started an educational platform with some video material you may find interesting.

Quote from: Franz on March 10, 2015, 07:46:49 PMHi guys,
We've looked at the numbers again. There is currently a lot of volatility in the international currency exchange rates. For this reason we have decided to change our costing model so that the quoted price is in South African Rand (ZAR). We pay the subcontractors in Rand so it makes sense to peg the price locally. This will obviously make our prices more competitive to some people and less so to others.
Secondly, we have started a second office at the brand new state of the art Mediclinic Midstream Hospital with fantastic facilities. We will be offering our CLL services at this hospital. It is more upmarket and discreet. The price quoted is for a private room in this facility (flat screen tv, private bathroom etc).
Remember that although we are getting progressively more known for internal lengthening with Precice, we have had many years of experience with the Ilizarov method, Taylor Spatial Frame, Truelok and Truelok Hex frames as well as other techniques. Therefore we can offer a high level of expertise and care should you require external fixator based treatment.
Lastly, we have decided to include all medical related costs into our package price estimates, but to leave accommodation costs out for now. The issue with accommodation is that the cost can vary widely depending on the option chosen. We can however put you in touch with relevant facilities that provide accommodation services.
The package includes:
- all hospital fees
- surgeon, assistant and anaesthetic fees
- prosthesis (implant) fees
- multidisciplinary team support
- physio daily in hospital and 3-5 days per week as outpatient
- regular doctor and nursing follow ups
- xray follow ups
- walking frame and wheelchair rental
For Precice 2 femorals it works out to 550K ZAR. Current exchange rate = 45800 USD.
Externals only: 300K ZAR. Current exchange rate = 25000 USD.
LON/LATP: 400K ZAR. Current exchange rate = 33000 USD.
I hope this clears up some confusion.
Price update: Current rand/dollar exchange rate means our prices are adjusted as follows:
Precice 2 femorals (above package): 42000 USD
Externals only: 22000 USD
LON/LATP: 28500 USD

Still a 165 cm upper limit? I thought I was 5'7 but in my last doctor visit, they measured me 5'6.5 though both are slightly above 165
In American feet/inches

The upper limit of 165 is a general safety guideline, but is not an absolute limit. It depends on each individual.
Hello Dr. Franz,
Just out of curiosity, you have mentioned that the price of Precise is 550k ZAR. That translates to around $ 37k. Why is the case that the newly quoted price is $ 42k ? 
Thanks !

It is because the nails are from the US and as the Rand weakens, the price to access them in rands increases. Remember that around 25-30k alone goes towards the price of the nails.
