Surgeons with lengthening limits are simply less skilled

I am currently at the 4 cm mark and do not plan to stop until I hit 10 cm at the very least on my shins, bringing me from 174 cm to 184 cm, and I'll have gotten my money's worth.

I encourage you to listen to your body  rather than have preset fixed goals. I think the best surgeons say your soft tissues ability to stretch is the limiting factor. Stretch a ton to maximize your potential lengthening without a complication. 10cm is likely high risk for most people. I hope you can safely do it, but be careful. Good luck.

It says on Dr Parihar's page that he trained with Dr Paley, so of course Dr Paley would recommend him as an option because it's a way to make himself look good like "Go to the guy I trained." Do not get me wrong, Dr Paley is one of the best surgeons out there, but at the same time he certainly is braggadocios. But we have what, one Parihar diary? And he has had just over 10 cosmetic patients in over 20 years of practice? That does not look good for those wanting to get a cosmetic procedure done. Not to mention the 6 cm limit preventing you from getting your money's worth.

Similar holds true for Dr Birkholtz. He seems like a nice guy, but just because he has answered forum questions I would not be quick to call him an expert. Who heard of him before this forum brought him to light?

There was another surgeon in India that trained with Dr. Paley as well. His name is Dr. Shah. I asked Dr. Paley about Dr. Shah and he said "I trained him in Illizarov, but I have not heard from him since. I have not seen his work nor do I keep in contact with him so I really can't comment. Just be careful. You get what you pay for."

Then I sent him a message about Dr. Parihar in the net email to which Paley repllied "Ah, Dr. Parihar! He's a great surgeon. Very careful surgeon. If you're going to India go with Parihar."

In Australia we have 3 other Limb Lengtheners who knoe Dr. Parihar very well and they all say he's a great surgeon. He's a very well liked man as well. That doesn't mean complications wont happen...but Parihar is definitely the best and most careful option in India.

Parihar's 6cm limit is for tibias, and I think he allows upto 6.5 like Kilo did. It's not only Paley that recommends him. Cure Surgicals, the local representatives from Ellipse(Precice nail company) have also said he is an excellent surgeon.

Lengthen your 10cms and then show us a video of you running 200 meters.
Also Betz and Mahboubian have caused a number of complications if I'm not wrong.

If you're convinced doing 10cms will cause you close to or no harm at all, go ahead. Make sure you see patients who have done that much running and working out first before playing roulette with your legs.

Edit-
As per the forum
Paley's limit: 8cms femur and 6-7 cms tibia
Guichet's word on limits: "The amount you gain is dependent upon your body, your pre-surgery conditioning, your 'tolerance' to the lengthening procedure and your mental state. You are limited by what your body can tolerate."

Dont do things that can destroy your life. It sounds repetitive but the best play would be do both segments in each limb, for your 10 cm.

He lengthened 13 cm in his shins, no ballerina, looks just fine.

You will also notice Dr Salameh lengthened a humerus by 11 cm on that same page, so if we assume 13 cm would be the limit then one could theoretically do 26 cm in both segments and then 11 cm on each humerus, thereby giving you 10 inches of height with nobody able to notice because the humerus lengthening will give you 22 cm extra wingspan and hide the large lengthening amount.

God help you if you actually go through with that you wrote.

Basically you think that anything below 8-9 cm(for 1 segment) wont worth the money.While you say that you just ignore your health.If your money is more important than your health then just go ahead and risk yourself.Reach your goal.
Even if you recover it wont be more than %40-50.
