Honestly on the new Website it just says about pricing: The costs will vary depending on which operation you wish to have and how long you wish to extend your stay in the clinic for. Ideally you would call us or write to us. We would then be able to provide you with an approximate framework of costs.
giotikas has an impressive ortho background. he works in greece and UK. If someone hates greece so much he can go to UK (but more costs)
dr becker is a cosmetic surgeon. He is very good at cosmetic LL and aesthetics. Most of his patients said good things about him.
but its not fair to compare them like this. Their specialisation is different.
shortisnotfun went to giotikas after he got complications elsewhere. so its not the same as treating a simple CLL case.
I think both docs are good, but do your own research. Think of the things that could go wrong. Ask the docs if they have experience treating complications.
I can say that dr becker is very caring and has a good system in place for cosmetic LL. maybe the system in athens is not that good...

The price is quoted is the package - nails & operation, medication, PT and two weeks hospital and Rehab Stay.
After that, it is all depended on yourself how long and where you want to stay longer.
You rent a place outside to pay for rent and food by yourself.
PT, medication, XRAY and doctor consultation are free if you are in Freiburg.
You can write to Becker Betz institute and get the help in house rental.
I am sure they can get someone help you to find a place to stay.

You can google and go into their website to get the updated price.
I think giotikas has more experience. Becker is pretty young guy who just started doing LL and he has no actual experience dealing with any kinda of ortho issues other than LL. Neither of the options are great tbh but I'd prefer giotikas. Better to go to the US if you can.
Personally, I would never go for LL with someone who's not a proper orthopedic surgeon specialized in limb deformity corrections. And there are only a handful of them around the globe who does cosmetic LL.

Dr Giotikas does NOT have more experience. He is a trauma surgeon posing as an orthopedic specialist. The mistakes he made even a junior doctor studying at the ICLL wouldn’t make. Do not go to Giotikas if you love your legs. Dr Assayag in the USA is the best and he charges around the same as those butchers.

Dude, even a junior doctor studying at ICLL wouldn’t make the same mistakes as Giotikas made. He is a trauma doctor posing as a limb lengthening specialist. Be very aware of these types of doctors. There are only a couple ACTUAL limb lengthening orthopedic specialists and most are in America (Assayag, Paley, Conway, etc). Dr Birkholtz is also a good option but he is in South Africa.
