Because Dr. Giotikas rejected TemakiSushi as a patient😂🤣😂
So much hate toward Dr. Giotikas why?
He is a great doctor and will reject patients and that means A LOT!!!
I, myself and many others are truly thankful for Dr. Giotikas talent and knowledge.

OK here we go the list of red signs, the reasons not to choose Giotikas

A guy wasn’t happy with Giotikas Reoperation, couldn’t fix misalignment
Check Giotikas X-rays of tibia cases at least on this forum
He doesn’t put thick screws to hold fibulas
It’s well known that the tibia surgery without these screws will leave some troubles with joints
If Giotikas isn’t good at aligning bones then he may produce some troubles with femurs with prospective patients
Misalignments actually could be the cause of very delayed consolidation.  Pure externals should get faster consolidation but taking more than a year with less than 5 cm lengthening.
Giotikas telling patients that he put extra screws into heels for ballerina foot
Giotikas did extra surgery of foot flextor muscle extension to Zakika
Those surgeries should be avoided at any cost to protect soft tissues, ligaments and cartilages
These facts mean that he doesn’t pay much attention to PT to provide better prevention of contractures

Oh no, Dr Giotikas never rejected me
No doctors did

Dr Giotikas has just started to do cosmetic LL recently
I’m sure he’ll reject difficult cases which he cannot handle

This thread is not about Dr Giotikas.

I used to wear lifts so they never knew my actual height. I am considering reducing the length of my femurs, the only worry I have is that I stopped lengthening two weeks ago, I'm afraid that stretching then compressing might damage nerves etc. although my doctor says it shouldn't be a problem. Has anyone else reduced length after stopping for so long? Any advice would be much appreciated, I really don't know what to do here.

I don't know your circunstances, but if I were you, I would never cut my goals. This surgery is for you, not for other people, so if you want to be taller, lengthen what you want, maybe you have only this opportunity. You can try to hide your new height if you use a new hair style (I'm taller? Not, it is my new hairstyle  ). Of course, stop using lifts.

If they notice the procedure, talk about you and your feelings, tell them that this surgery makes you happier and you needed it. They should understand you, remember that you are doing this because you want to improve your life, and there is nothing wrong about that.

Have you completely lost it? Are you paranoid with Giotikas or is it something else? Because it seems that your judgement is a bit impaired.
You are only presenting your own uneducated interpretation of things as facts and you seem to ignore the fact that there are regular posts from Athens patients saying how satisfied they are.
Dr Giotikas didn't hesitate to treat "seriouslyInjured"'s complications from another surgeon and it seems that he did a great job. IMO, there isn't anything more difficult in CLL than sorting out someone else's mess and only experienced and confident surgeons can do that.
Finally, the fact that you hi-jaked Nestor's thread,(where he desperately asked for help- which in my view is the main goal of this forum) only to defame Giotikas shows that you have your own sinister agenda...The only remaining question in my mind is whether it is for mental or financial reasons.
