Thank you for your replies, I think I'm going with Dr. Giotikas, I have two choices :

Going for 5cm on Tibias = 1.60cm > 1.65cm
or
Going for 3.5cm on Tibias and 3.5cm on femurs = 1.60cm > 1.67cm

I don't mind to pay more I'm just worried about body proportions (currently my Tibia and Femur are almost equal in terms of lenght) and safety in the long term since I dance and run as a hobbie, also I saw some before/after patients where the lenght it's too much that their arms looked so short.
I'll appreciate your opinions.

Your budget is 40k but now you’re considering quadrilateral with Giotakis?  For a grand total of 7cm?  That makes no sense.

Also, your tibia and femur are almost certainly not nearly equal. This is something that can’t be measured at home—you need an X-ray.

I forgot to update but now I have more Budget for doing both Tibias and Femurs and you're right an X-ray would give an exact measurement

If you're going to pay for quadrilaterals, you should really consider trying for 6+4. You can always stop early if you like how you look during lengthening. And yeah, it's pretty unlikely that your tibia bone is anywhere near as long as your femur bone. Get an X-ray and a consult with the doctor, then decide.
