Has your country seen a massive uptick of LL interest?

1000+ or 3000+ CLL surgeries, that's a big number. You know some well-known doctors on this forum, some of them have done only a small number of CLLs (like 100-300). I have always believed that the number of operations is an important factor in evaluating a doctor. Some senior Korean experts have not even been mentioned in this forum. I think that they may mainly provide medical services for the Korean market.
There are more people doing CLL in South Korea. One advantage is that this industry is mature, with high safety and professionalism. I am very envious of you on this point.

You shouldn't really. If a person has money/time it doesn't matter which country you are at. Even in Korea 95% of "forum wanderers" won't get the procedure because of money/time and just ask the same " Is the surgery safe " or " is it possible to lengthen 15cm?"  then devolve into " this will definitely cause arthritis and knee pain in 20 years so you shouldn't get it ".

I would say 70-80% of Dr. Lee's patients are native Koreans though although many come from China/Japan ( not many White Americans/Europeans/Indians/Middle-easten - they mostly go to Germany, America, Turkey, Russia, or India ).

There are still concerns about LL that may cause knee pain in 20 years despite some of the LL surgeries are safe?

Ofc LL is still an extremely invasive surgery so there are always risks but lot of people decide that the benefits far outweigh the risk. Even common elective surgeries like LASIK can lead to life altering complications.

My country is Poland and I have not yet seen any uptick here
