Who's the best doctor for external tibia?

Edit Post

Why would you even consider external?!

Safest and cheap. I am lengthening my tibias.

Has tradeoffs tho. Extended hospitalisation, more scarring, less mobility during procedure. What's your budget if you don't mind me asking?

My target is 7cm, I wonder if I should set for tibias and do it sooner or save more money and wait a few years to do internals.
Since my torso is relatively short, tibias may look better than having a femur almost longer than my torso. lol
Knowing external is safer makes me give it priority over internals, and to that extend, tibia over femur.

I can stand extended hospitalisation, more scarring, less mobility during procedure. IMO, these are trivial and very temporary. However, I can't stand fat embolism. Internal method isn't best for tibias anyway and will almost certainly cause permanent knee pain as reported.

I don't really set a limitiation for my budget. I don't actually intend to go cheap. My priorities are the safety of the lengthening method and the capability of the doctor. However, I wouldn't mind a more attractive price if the quality is not any less.

IMO, proportions should be the priority. Remember that it's your proportions for life. It's much better to be 174cm and looking aesthetic and proportional than 175cm but looking like a freak.

Why have you decided on tibias? IMO anyone considering LL should first do femurs and tibias only if additional gain is required. The femur is one bone (as opposed to 2 for tibs) it is a bigger stronger bone with more capacity.  Less messing with your knees and ankles/achilles.  I am really at a loss.  Your concerns about internal methods are unfounded. Internal is perfectly safe, tried and tested. No adverse long term effects. I am proof of that. I did mine 14 years ago. You've seen my photos in my diary?  I gained 11cm on femurs alone and everyone thinks I am naturally that height.

Lol, one additional cm is not going to make you look like a freak! 

If you have €50k, my advice to you is to start on your femurs, aim for 7-8cm.  If you are reasonably fit and young, you should be able to achieve this with relative ease and minimal complications and very good recovery.

I will soon post a vid.

Hmm, well I agree, the proportions are important but 7cm won't make anyone a freak, try standing on a 7cm plataform and check it out, I'm mostly worried if the bone CAN take 7cm.

You misunderstood completely what I was saying. Additional 5cm on tibias would make us look more aesthetic and natural whereas additional 6cm on femurs could make us look like a freak/weird.

@taller_in_Kiev I'm not sure about you, but I did my mockups and decided right away that I wouldn't do femur lengthening without the tibia first. Sure I would love to gain 6cm over 5cm but I don't think I can't stand the proportions. I've also seen the pics of UNICORN. Regardless of her surgery issues, I personally do think that her proportions look pretty off. If you lengthen 11cm on femur and look natural, then I should really question the genuinity of everything you post her. And even if I want to do femurs, Dr. Jamal would be the last person I'd go to.

What do you have against Dr. Jamal? I think he's one of, if not, THE best out there. I owe him much.

I've just been observing you. Chances are you are either Jamal himself or his hired salesman.
