Honestly you should probably do 3 on femur and 2 on tibias instead of 2.5 each if you wanna hit 5 inches. Every half inch-inch on tibia is crucial as the recovery compared to femurs is slower and they have to cut two bones instead of one.

Yeah ur right thats what ill probably do then thanks for telling me that. Any doctors u can recomend?
Dr Parihar in India from what I can tell is very good. He's the only doctor I would recommend in india. The user penguin is his first precise patient doing internal femurs and he is doing well. He has a diary on this forum. Parihar mostly works trauma cases and seems like a very responsible doctor. There is Dr Solomin in Russia who is dirt cheap compared to other LL doctors for externals, he also has a lot of experience and is not eager to get cosmetic patients (good sign). There is also Dr Mitkovic in Serbia who is good and cheap compared to other doctors and has a good amount of diaries about him. All these doctors are good and won't burn a hole in your pocket.
You can forget about playing competitive sports after this, especially if you do 5 inches in two surgeries. Even if the surgery goes well your stamina will be totally shot and your balance will be worse. You're being greedy with how many inches you want to lengthen and if you go through with it you will regret it. Why ruin your body when you're starting off in a decent position?

The total price would be 50k, can you save that amount?

Yes, you should try there.
Quote from: jeromeharrison25 on May 15, 2017, 01:48:40 AMMy dream is to get at least 5 inches which i know is only possible by lenghening femurs and tibias 2.5 in each and the only doctor i know of whos even slightly affordable for that is monegal who ive heard can do all 4 segments for 61k. But then i also have questions about his safety and skill
No matter to which doctor you go, do not lengthen 5 inches. Especially not at your starting height.
