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 suggest reading diaries to see how people perform after the surgery and after recovery.

If you can afford Paley go, Guitchet is an excellent doctor, but for me Paley is the best right now in terms of ability for this surgery.

I think Birkholtz is a great choice.

Amount you lengthen will affect recovery. If you do 5 cm with paley you will probably have 90% of former abilities back 1.5 years. There  is always the possibility that your never 100% but you should regain most functioning back especially with internal you will have a faster recovery.

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.

Dr Paley is considered by most as the best in the world. Dr Guichet is a good doctor as well.

Well Birkholtz or Parihar are using the same nail as Paley and are waaay cheaper than him and Guichet. Also you need to decide if you want to use Clicking nail or Precise(which is a bit more comfortable).

Two inches is pretty reasonable but you need to keep it in mind that not only part of your athletic abilities will drop but recovery takes time too.

And no, Limb Lengthening won't solve your life problems. If you can't score at 5'8 you probably won't score with that 2 additional inches. This surgery only makes you taller.

A bit more comfortable. Try more along the lines of the difference between being put on the rack in medieval times or simply holding the equivalent of an xbox controller on your legs for a couple minutes a day. There's a reason the Guichet nail is called the "twist & shout method"

So is the Betz nail but only a dumbass would go to that guy or use his piece of sh*t nail....
