Tibia leg lengthening surgery by Prof. Dr. Ghassan Salameh and Dr. Schmidt

Edit Post

Hello,

i have decided to consult Prof. Dr. Ghassan Salameh and Dr. Schmidt in Frankfurt am Main in Germany to do the tibia leg lengthening surgery.

I have already met with Dr. Met Schmidt in his orthopedics. He said the operation would cost 22,000 euros and my legs would lengthen by 0.8 to 1 millimeter per day. After about 3 months I could get 8 cm taller. More than 8 cm would not be good because otherwise you get problems.

I am 162 cm tall and thanks to the operation I would be 170 cm. I live in Frankfurt am Main and I think this is the best solution for me.

Do you know Dr. Salameh and Dr. Schmidt? I haven't read anything problematic about them in this forum.

What if you do the operation in Turkey? I think livelifetaller by Dr. Buldu is dubious because they advertise too much and increase the patients' height by more than 8 cm, which is not good for the legs.

What do you think of Prof. Dr. Yuksel Yurttas in Turkey? Do you have a better recommendation?

Sorry for my english guys.

Best regards
Ichdereine

Update!!!

I will not have leg lengthening surgery with this doctor.  I have spoken to his patients and they are all dissatisfied and would not recommend this operation to anyone. Money is saved everywhere and there is no physical therapy after the operation. Patients are on their own with fixators for up to 12 months after the operation! There is almost no follow-up examination.

So watch out folks!
