I am planning to do limb lengthening in either Turkey, Germany or South Korea.
It looks like on average, limb lengthening is cheaper in Turkey than the other two.
Is Turkey a good choice for limb lengthening surgery?
Also, how is AFA limb lengthening clinic in Turkey?
Does the AFA provide quadrilateral limb lengthening package?

The first two ideas are better only take turkey as the last choice also if you do go make sure to stay away from wannabetaller. AFA is probably better turkey company around.

It depends on where you get it done in Turkey.

Livelifetaller is a horrible choice that abandon patients with complications, overlengthen and lengthen at an absurd rate.

Wannabetaller also has many patients who has gotten severe complications and they offer a crappy hotel (look at patients experiences tab on this forum)

 Uyksel Yurtaas has also crippled multiple patients with Tibias, since he doesn't know how to do them probably, but still calls himself the second best surgeon in the world lol.

Afa is the best option in Turkey from patients experiences and reviews on this forum with 0 bad reviews and a couple of very positive verified ones. If you look up Mustafa Uysal their surgeon online he only has positivé verified reviews on different turkish doctor review sites and more 20 years of experience with deformity cases. I'm going to get my surgery done by them in 2 weeks since they offer a very convenient service with everything in one building (psysiotherapy, X-rays) They even offer hydrotherapy and drive you everywhere you need to go.

If you have a higher budget go with Dr Birkholtz in South Africa, because his probably the best for the price, however he is about 30% more expensive than them, and for me the long distance is a big turn off. Don't wanna travel handicapped with 3 connecting flights with about 20 hours of travel time, but maybe you live closer to south Africa.

Above statement right if you must go turkey AFA seems like the place to go. I have seen the wannabetallers hotel and it's disgusting no wonder there is so much infection cases. Also worst location and services don't even waste your time on them.

No. Unequivocally no. This is asked all the time and the answer is the same. You get what you pay for, remember that.
