Femur and Tibias at the same time

Edit Post

Hey guys,

I was wondering , are there doctors besides Paley who agree to lengthen tibia and femur at the very same time, potentially also with a discount ?

I was exchanging e-mails with Dr. Mitkovic and he said that 3 weeks after initial surgery it is OK to do 2nd, provided that the patient has been doing really well. He also said that he will be offering internals towards the end of this year and they will cost around 16k euro. So for a total of 25k + 4-5 k for living expenses the whole thing can be done

I am considering doing 4.3 cm femurs and 4.2 tibias with him. Probably in a 6 week interval.

This surgury is very risky but can result in postive outcomes by putting in tons of effort, going with a skilled doctor and a little bit of luck. That is for one segment. Seriously don't push your luck doing 2 segments at the same time. Your life might suck right now but it can be a lot worse.

Play it smart. There's a few people here who have done 2 segments with successful outcomes such as theogosis and I believe taller from old forum but they chose to do one segment first, recover,  then second segment.

didnt Iamready do the same / does the same right now ?

Could I do external LL on femur (5cm) and external LL on tibia (5cm) or does doctor Mitkovic do only internal LL on femur and external on tibia?? cos external is cheaper than internal so If its possible I would do both segments with external LL. Thanks

External Femurs would be a nightmare... let alone having all 4 segments done at once... totally unrealistic.

"Aspirant185" is doing it. And if doctor says its possible, why should it be unrealistic?.

If you're desperate and external femurs is all you can afford, then you find ways to justify it in your head. External femurs are simply the most barbaric form of LL, good luck.

Something tells me aspirant185 is not going to follow through with his plans lol. Saying youre going to do it on this forum is easy, lets see how many of you guys go through, especially you 175cm+ guys.

I´m not justifying anything. I was simply asking. If doctor says its ok, then he must´ve done it many times. But if he says that it would be better to do it seperate (tibia LL and after that femur LL) im ok with it. We´re discusing, nothing more, nothing less. Plus Dr. Mitkovic has a very good reputation as LL doctor. And btw not everyone can afford internal LL in China, Germany, Spain or USA, and if there is a doctor who does it for 9300,-€ why should I go somewhere where its more expensive.
