I 💯% agree. I once considered Dr. Buldu but after wannabetaller livelifetaller patient coordinators and all the patients turn advisers plus him allow and ok 20cm lengthening is crazy.
Be careful of who you go to bed with kinda scary and way too risky and not the the 💵💵💵
I'm also planning for Dr. Halil Buldu and have been contacted by some his his patients turned advisor.
I'll be honest they are reaching quite hard which perhaps isn't so good for marketing but that doesn't mean Dr.Buldu is an incompetent doctor, far from it.
He's performed thousands of surgeries on legs for soldiers and is still doing a lot of Stryde and LON without any reported complications so far.
It's just aggressive marketing; go in with a sound plan (one segment at a time) and decide what your psychological limit is and be reasonable, do PT, do your diet and exercise and you should be fine. Don't listen to the excessive marketing noise.
