Hello guys, I absolutely want to have surgery by the end of May until August / end of August 2022. It can be complicated because I'm only 19 years old and I don't know anything about the procedures. That's why I want to do it for next holidays, people around me will just think I got taller naturally. So I'm looking for a safe method (that allow me to fully recover and squat) and hospital that costs less than 11k € (all fees included, hotel, food, flights (I'm from france), followup visits, daily physio ...) and finally that can get me at least 6.5cm taller (no matter tibia or femur, tell me what is the safest please) (also no matter india, iran, china or anywhere else, just cheap and safe).

I saw this post about Dr Naveen Talwar, is it true and safe ??  Safe surgery less than 11k€ including all fees

I also want to know about all procedures, papers (I read about x-ray here ?? ), pain, side effect and the impact on my weightlifting and mma career (I saw someone on youtube who could squat after timblenghtening). Ty.

Ty for yours answers mates ! What if I choose fast and cheap (11k) ? is it possible ? when I say  "fast" I mean just enough to go back to school after 3 months and walking, no need to do weightlifting directly. Does LON on femur requires less time than on tibia to regain walking ? how much time do we have to wear the external fixator ?  I did not understand your last sentence, "around 2 years" we can't do weightlifting or mma anymore after 2 years ??
Quote from: MorningStar on October 03, 2021, 09:46:58 PMCheap, fast and safe? Man, you should choose 2 out of 3. Probably externals with Parihar from India or some respectable doctors from Russia with the same externals would be pretty cheap and safe, but really not fast. You should dedicate around 1 year, not a summer holidays.

P. S. There aren't a lot (or maybe at all) diaries here by Dr. Talwar so by the rule of thumb I should avoid unknown or little known doctors from the third world countries. Also even if you choose him, 6,5 cm with a LON on tibia would require you much more time to regain walking gait than several months. You will only have nailing after 3 months.
P. P. S. You gave post from 2014. Be sure, now prices are different.
P. P. P. S. If you are thinking about professional MMA career, then forget about lengthening. It's not about regaining the physical abilities. It's about the fact that you won't exercise too long. I mean around 2 years. It's too long for the young potential MMA professional.



Quote from: SirStretchAlot on October 04, 2021, 12:36:30 AMTwo problems

1) LON/LATN will be extremely painful. It will also leave multiple deep scars on your thigh/shin, making it obvious you got the surgery.

2) If you want to lift weights and do MMA, don't do this surgery. Longer bones especially when disproportionate, are more likely to fracture. You won't be able to do much running until nail removal 1/1.5 years later. So it won't be 2024 until you can lift/fight.



Are the scares inevitable ? I read doctors that tell that the scars aren't very visible and they will disappear with time, is it true ?
No problem if I have to wait 2 years to squat and fight but can I walk 3 months after surgery, go back to school without external fixators, stay 8 hours standing and without any problem as long as I don't run or lift ?
After 2-3 years, I will be able to squat like him ??


Is LON/LATN more safier, cheaper and faster on tibia or femur ??

If these are the scares, no problem and I'm much hairier than him in my leg

Ty so much guys. I'm currently 168cm.
I did not understand one thing, MorningStar told me that "no method will allow me to walk after three months" and SirStretchalot "I would save up 55k EUR and do internal nailing on femurs. It's safer (less likely to die from an infection), less painful, fewer scars, and you will be able to walk properly after the first week." Finally, will I be able to walk after one week with internal ?? if yes, how much the cheapest one in the world cost (with all fees) ? I can try to reach 20k 25k but 50k impossible as student...

Do you think it's possible to walk without any problem after 5 months 7cm LON femurs ? are the secondary effect on athletic performance that much greater with external than internal or it's negligible and we will be able to squat 140kg after 3-4 years with external ?

Is it possible to do LON/LATN 7cm on tibia and get back to school walking properly after 6 months ?  (I can skip 1 month of school)
This guy talk about 4 months for 5cm tibia, I guess it's possible to walk correctly after 6 months for 7cm ??

Quote from: ilovescience on October 04, 2021, 08:43:03 PMI wanted to show you a video


Probably three months would be enough from the video, if that's the speed you walked.


BUt this is STRYDE on femur not LON/LATN on tibia 7cm
