hey guys so im a 26yo guy from the UK (london) im 174cm and honestly ive been thinking for a long time about getting to 182cm or a bit above if possible. its like this number stuck in my head and i cant shake it lol. most my friends are around 180+ and i always end up feeling like the “short one” even tho i know 174 isnt actually short but yeah it still gets to me
so im looking at doing height surgery next year and im kinda confused what route is better… should i just do the full 8cm from femur in one go or do the quad approach like 5cm femur + 3cm tibia. i see different ppl saying different things, some say femur only is easier and others say quad looks more natural. idk honestly im kinda torn
also im gonna be straight about it i dont have unlimited budget so like my other surgeries ill probably do it in turkey again. i did my laser eye surgery there and also my teeth before and both were fine so im not too scared about going there again but obviously limb lengthening is a whole different level so i wanna make sure i choose the right doc
if anyone from here did surgery in turkey which doctor would you recommend? someone experienced and not some random cheap place pls. i dont want toxic replies or ppl telling me “dont do it” im already set on doing it just need actual recommendations or advice from ppl who know more than me
