Dr. Milorad Mitkovic in Serbia might be a good choice for you. It's not a specialty surgery so a doctor who does LL can also do LS.
Limb lengthening was actually invented by accident. Prof. Ilizarov in Russia was trying to force the broken bones of injured soldiers together, and a nurse turned the knobs the wrong way. Now here we all are.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, according to Google Dr. Milorad Mitkovic passed away in April this year.
Are there any other affordable surgeons?
So far, I'm planning on contacting:
Alex Monega
Javier Downey
Betz (I've read that it's around 30-32k euros so too expensive)
Ghassan Salame
Dimitrios Giotikas
Donghoon Lee
Debiparshad (I've read that it's around 30-40k dollars so again too expensive)
I'm also trying to look into surgeons in Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, and India. I found this post by OliveTree: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=244.31
Does anybody know is she is now?
Thanks to you all because I truly didn't expect everybody to be this nice and helpful. I was kinda expecting getting banned because my question was off topic.
Perhaps we should trade places.
You will fit right in the Netherlands. No surgery needed.
I wanted to leave this country, it is hell for me.
I think Spain is a much better place. I mean, the average height is quite a bit shorter.

Most leg lengthening surgeons have no experience with limb shortening, or have maybe done it a very small handful of times, so be wary of those who claim that they can do it easily with no problem. When I had my consultations years ago, a few even warned that shortening and compressing the limbs would result in an ugly cosmetic effect where the limbs look fatter since you're compressing the muscles together.

Thank you! Sorry if I'm being too noisy, what did you have your shortening consultation for? Would maybe taking 2.5 cm from femur and 2.5 cm from tibia also have that effect? Ideally I'd rather take 5-6 cm from the femur, because it seems easier.
I don't think there's any doctor anywhere who's done the surgery more than a few times. Standard treatment protocol is to lengthen the shorter limb.
Hey, I think most men don't mind if you're taller than they are. It's more about how they think you might mind. Plus, in northern Europe, men are slightly taller than 180 on average. You'll just be as tall as most men. I don't see any problems.
If dating is a concern, I'd lose fat, and hit the gym to grow your chest and glutes. I'm 173 now, and I'd love to date a 180 girl.
