Hi guys, I am 27 years of age and I am looking to increase my height in the next 2 or 3 years.

I am trying to decide on Dr Paley or Dr Guichet. My biggest concern is that I want a positive outcome and obviously if money is cheaper with one  over the other then that would help out as well. I am currently 5'8 or 5'9 in the morning and wear lifts which bring me up to the 5'9 -5'10 range.

I play sports on the regular and I am wondering what the long term complications are if I were to have this procedure. Will i be in pain for the rest of my life assuming that everything turns out 'well'? I make roughly 60k a year and to me Id rather spend money on this than on a new car or a big house etc.

So im basically trying to go from 5'8 to 5'10.

Assuming I go through with this do you guys expect my life to be significantly improved? Others that have gone through this, did your dating life improve, etc?

I am thinking maybe two inches to grow. However, I have another question. If I go with Paley I can prob have ability in 1.5 years.

What if I went to Guitchet? He is 50k cheaper isnt he? I thought I saw he charged 50k for surgery on both legs.

I am in exactly the same situation as you. I am 27 and my height is between 5.8 and 5.9. and all I want is 5.10 that's it nothing more. I think both guitchet and paley are very competent doctors and it shouldnt be a problem going to either of them from what I've gathered after reading a few diaries especially Yellowspike, Programmedude, dreamcatcher and unicorn.

I would personally prefer guitchet given that I am based in Europe already and can save up quite a lot.

Also, I haven't come across any case where someone has only done 2 inches max internal femurs to get an idea about their recovery and athletic abilities. I feel that a recovery would be a lot faster with lesser likelihood of complications for 2 inches (no more) with either of these doctors


Nice. I plan on not telling anyone and just dissapearing for a year. How long will I be out for ? If I go with Paley, how long before I can walk normally?

If i go to Guitchet, will it be longer because he uses different tech?

Quote from: EliminateError on November 04, 2016, 03:46:25 PMI think a year is a realistic plan if you stick to 2 inches and not even a mm more, I plan on doing the same. IMO, both guitchet and paley are more or less the same recovery time. I am not too sure how long before you start walking but I'll say give yourself 3.5 months.


So regardless of what doctor I use, the recovery time will be the same?

I guess I dont understand why I wouldnt just save myself 50k and go to Guichet. Hes 1/2 the price.

Quote from: EliminateError on November 04, 2016, 05:58:18 PMCan you reference a case who has only lengthened 2 inches max internal femurs? I guess no as you would have answered it in that thread so it's still an unanswered "question". I am not talking about any guesstimates like grow a certain length at a certain rate etc but will be more convinced after seeing someone who has lengthened 2 inches max so I am hoping that I might see a diary like that.

As for me still being here I am not looking to do this any sooner than another year so why wouldn't I still explore more about this topic and enhance my understanding?

Besides I am in a very similar situation as "YYES" with same height, age, goals etc.

By the way, I wasn't the one who started the thread it was "drvbmc". But you are right, I am not completely ready yet as I am not fully equipped with the information I am after.



I think he was referring to me. lol.
