I'm thinking about doing two stages quadrilateral lengthening because I want to gain something like 15cm, but I'm afraid it's too much.

It is too much in my opinion. You can get 14.5cm in 2 separate surgeries. How do you plan on paying for this?

I'm not very young anymore, so I want something that will make difference fast.
I have the money to pay for Paley, but I was thinking doing with Giotikas (it would be 120k euros the 8 surgeries).
Why do you need 8 surgeries? I don't know about Giotikas but there seem to be several Giotikas diaries on this forum.

It's how its done with two stage quadrilateral. You break two legs (lets say tibias) and 3 weeks later you break the femurs. You lengthen for 4cm each and consolidate. One year after you break your legs again ang lengthen for more 4cm (16cm at total) It's 4 bilateral surgeries actually. If Paley offers this option, I assume it's ok.
There are two diaries of Giotikas here. Both are not complete yet and they are external tibia. I had a web consultation with Giotikas and I liked him.
Oh I see. I think Paley offers that option too but its extremely expensive (I think in the $300k+ range). What is your starting height? This is a very extreme variation of LL.

It's US$280k.
I'm 1,65m.
Update
I decided to be a little crazy and tried an intense 1 hour workout conditioning class. I was surprisingly able to keep up with the rest of the class (even with leg workouts and flexibility). I was even able to do front kicks better than some of the other participants (not as good as I was able to do before though. I used to do martial arts and had trained myself to kick pretty high).
Other than getting tired after running, I was in pretty good condition. This makes me think I've been 'playing it safe' for way too long and need to be more aggressive in my workouts. Once my 8 weeks pass, I want to get back into my groove.
I've been stretching aggressively for the past month. My flexibility is back to 100% for everything other than my quads. I'm able to bend my knees all the way (until my heel touches my butt), but I can't bend it by using leg muscles alone (I have to use my hands to pull it up). I'm going to be aggressive on that. Other than that, my flexibility seems to be back 100%. I can even do a proper 'heel sit' with both legs. This is a huge win for me as my quads were the last muscle group to remain inflexible.

I think by summer (May) I should be pretty close to 100% (maybe not with leg strength). I'll go to the gym on Thursday (before nail removal surgery) and try to record my running stats to get a good benchmark for where I need to get to after the surgery.
You are my inspiration ! Way to go Purush!
