It's important to mention that, that is only in the US. In europe it's going to be released after 2025, according to AthensBJR. It's also going to be 30% more expensive at least in Canada according to dr marie G. So I'm personally just going to do precice, since my budget and timing doesn't allow me otherwise.

There are some nail with full weight bearing like betzbone and Gnail, in your case, why not try those?

I can't because of budget reasons. Besides the safest nail out of those 3 and the most tested is the precice.

Just do Birkholtz for $60K. Or maybe even Giotikas for like $50K. Just avoid Turkey.

To be fair, they've been saying that for well over 2 years now. It's like the cybertruck, they'll keep pushing it back, so dont wait on it. It'll eventually come out, but no one knows when. They dont even know..it's subject to FDA clearance. It might come out next month, maybe in 2 years. Dont put your life on hold because of it.

GrowGrow123 First of all doing LL at your height at above 176 cm is not going to give you any real benefits. How it is even possible to have height dysphoria at that height baffles me. Because your're the same height as most other men and taller than all women so why feel bad about your height and the need to improve it?? This is at least my opinion from a logical based standpoint but hey at the end of the day it's your choice.

Second of all just because they're many bad clinics in Turkey doesn't mean that you shouldn't go to the few good ones. Metin K and Mustafa Yusal from AFA only has positive experiences behind them on this forum which are verified with x-rays proof, and they get many patients every year. Cyborg4life even recommended Metin K and his part of his platform. If they where as bad as the other ones, we would have heard about it by now with AT LEAST 1 bad case, but that hasn't happened.

Dr Giotikas is not a better choice in my opinion, they have been more negative cases recently and his accomodation package is way more inconvient like with most other clinics... His team doesn't answer simple answers for me that's way more alarming. Stop discriminating a clinic just because it is operating in Turkey. Imagine if their where one bad US clinic that screwed up many patients (which their actually is the Las Vegas one while doing tibias) does that mean all of the other surgeons and clinics are bad and you shouldn't go to the US? NOPE.

I agree Dr Birkholtz would probably be the even better choice, but his still about 20% more expensive, and I don't have time to wait in my life anymore. Besides having 2-3 connecting flights the total time going home would be about 15 hours which isn't going to be okay for me. But if you live closer to south Africa or to the US and have unlimited money then sure they're better choices.

I'm 6 months post-op. One of the best things I've done in my life. My height dysphoria is 100% gone.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Not saying AFA is bad. For all we know, Mustafa is actually a good surgeon. However, we can't / shouldn't actively recommend him. There are not many patient experiences from him. More time and more data points are needed. Whereas other surgeons like Birkholtz have a long and established track record.

Also, Victor doesn't recommend Mustafa. So your point there is moot.
