Hello guys,

I've been registered here for several years but only now I am writing for the first time. I've read a lot of posts, stories, found a lot of information. Maybe too much. And that bunch of information a bit confused me. But because of various reasons I wasn't prepared for this surgery. I completely understand what does complex surgery mean because last year I had one. But now I am almost ready for the next step.

I am 27 years old, 171 cm (5.7" ft). I know, maybe some would say that my height is "normal" but since I live in the north of the Europe, my height is almost 14 cm below average. I am very muscular and really lack of flexibility. I live in European Union country so I don't have any problems to move to another country in the EU (and also outside the EU). Also I don't have any problems with job because I am software engineer so I can work remotely. My budget is 30 000 euros (~34 000 $). My goal would be: +6 cm.

For what I read, at the moment looks like the best option for me would be Giotikas in Athens. His prices: https://www.athensbjr.com/cost-pricing-of-cosmetic-limb-lengthening/ I financially fit into these options:

Tibia lengthening with TSF (Smith & Nephew) circular frames: 23615 Euro
Tibia lengthening with TSF (smith and Nephew) and Synthes Expert nail (LON): 32600 Euro

What is your opinion guys? Maybe there are better options for me? Thank you!

determination, thank you, but Italy now is the most Corona infected country in the Europe.

Futureller, I am not working out because of women. I've been going to the gym since my teenage years, when I wasn't shorter than my peers. So that's just a way of life. But I've been skipping legs day for almost a year now. I do sometimes with light weight just to keep enough muscle not to be "chicken legs guy".
