Quote from: Alu on February 03, 2016, 04:07:30 PMThere are more diaries on Paley then Mahboubian...

Also he is slightly cheaper than Paley. But then again if you're gonna spend that much, might as well save a little more for Paley

Yes his surgery is cheap, but you will end up paying the same (~100k) because of the crazy hospital fee in US. Look at the patient's diaries.

As for advertisement, I am not sure what the others refer to here... Paley and Guichet advertise way more than him, and they are still the best doc in the two countries.

That is spot on but there is more to it. As I said, I am not viewing that as a sign that he is exploiting our insecurities. I am viewing it as a sign that he knows how we feel and he is letting us know that it is all right to feel that way, we are not alone, and he is there to make things right. That is how I understand it
Nevertheless, if he delivers results, and based on diaries he does, this is what is important to me

To each his own. If you decide to get your surgery done with Dr M then that's perfectly fine and I don't think anyone on the forum is going to bash you for doing so.

I agree that if he delivers results I'm fine with it...

But you're not in the same train like the rest of us...

Why ? I mean, OK, my starting height is probably higher than the average here but what applies to me applies to everybody else in terms of surgical work, financial need, and time to recover

Well theorically, the highier you are, the safer the max amount you get lengthen. 10-15% of a 40cm femure is more than a 30cm femure.

Wrong. Your starting height is the principle reason. He plays into the insecurities of those who are short. You're not. No matter how much you compare yourself to those who are tall.

How tall would u say the girl from the advertisment above is ? I would say around 172.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if you're gonna try to make the point I think your trying to make lmao.

She certainly seems taller then average, but comparing the pic of the guy and the girl it's obvious they are stock photos taken from different sources. Also it doesn't matter how tall she is...if anything it plays into how unrealistic people's expectations on LL might be...
