As a Brit,this would be perfect for me. It's probably going to be extortionate though and combined with the cost of living in London it will probably be unfeasable.

I dont think he does surgery for private patients ... only for deformities and accident...

Also ... I think ... there will be a new insurance policy coming out for residents of United Kingdom
This will hopefully cover them for LL surgery... for complications etc

Britain and France seem to be completely against this surgery for cosmetics reasons and I don't understand why.
These two countries would attract a lot of patients if they offered it.

Edit: In his pamphlet it talks about height dysphoria so maybe he will offer the surgery for cosmetic means.
Also if there's any complications the NHS will help me,so this may be an extremely safe option for me.

He seems to be encouraging. NHS backround, teaming up with Dr Paley seems to serve a strong basis. Curious about his toolbelt, which methods he uses, how many cases he did so far. I personally would trust him more than doctors from Italy, Greece, or maybe even Germany.

True, I doubt I'll be able to afford femural lengthening for many years yet but I should be able to afford tibial lengthening in a few years so that's my plan at the moment.
Anyway it's great to see more doctors doing this surgery especially in the most advanced of first world countries.If there's more doctors it should drive down costs in the long run.

But let's be serious.... Paley has a great track record... he trained a lot of people..
He has to be the King of LL surgery...
