^ I'll respond to that in my thread.

I'll take this guy into consideration. He seems like a good doctor. I'll have to do some more research on him, though.

Here's a summary of my consultation with Dr Dhawan for info if you haven't seen it already. It may answer some questions you have about him.

Thanks, that helps.

He seems like a good doc. I'll consider him, figuring he is pretty inexpensive, and he is ASAMI -certified!

does he have a limit on femur lengthening seeing as he uses a different method?

Edit Post

I didn't ask but my guess would be that he'd be very conservative in amount with external femurs. Femurs are more difficult to lengthen that tibias, especially externally.

Edit Post

The ambitious side of me really wants to do 4CM on my femurs externally and 4CM externally on tibiae. Or I may just do 5CM on my tibiae and forget about LL and height related insecurities once and for all. Or, preferably, I'll just get rid of my insecurity without doing any kind of surgery at all. I hope for the latter.
