LON with Livelifetaller costs 20k without accomodation and physio
The assistant said any physiotherapist would work if the physio gave a call to the PT team of LLT
Im planning to do LON femurs first and then LON tibias
Whats the worst that could happen

Worst? Death from pulmonary embolism. Likely? No highly unlikely.
But being crippled after the surgery? Pretty likely.

Dude, if Turkey limb lengthening clinics were any good,
then everyone, including myself, would go there instead of US, Germany, France, Greece, South Africa, Canada or South Korea.

Exactly what wantingtobetaller said. Also wanted to add that LON for femurs is highly discouraged; most people go for internals cause way less pain and other complications.

It's better than be broke and crippled. I think, it's better to save money and do it once but very safe and responsible because it's a long process and you will have to live with it until the end of your life.

Dr Doan in Vietnam is cheap and respected. Also Dr Parihar in India. But there is a trend of hating on surgeons that are from outside of Europe/North America.

Edit: there might be some warrant to the critique in some case absolutely but not all of them are bad. Do research on the ones i mentioned. They have good reviews, and no bad rep.

The hate could be pretty much justified since doing an invasive surgery in any third world country is not a good idea in general.

Dont do LON with "Live life taller", because you will regret !
If you want to do it in Turkey, go only with Uysal or Gokhan.

Where did you get that Uysal is a good reputable doctor?

In the hotel, where i lived for 5 months, i met many patients from Uysal, and they were ok and pretty happy.
Uysal is doing LON very good, because 90% of its surgeries are LON. Also, he did many femur LON, which i never recommended, but worked well.
If you have something else to say, just put it here, because i had nothing to do with Uysal.
