It’s unfair you said I am fake
I gave all the details about my surgery even the date if I am fake there is no way I can give those details
If anyone doubts about my identity you can email me and I have no problem to provide all details evidence

You can google and go into their website to get the updated price.

I can't find their prices on the website! Thats why I asked you to share the link where you can see the prices!

This is the laser removal of scars. In my country, it costs $20-200, depending on body part and area covered.

External humerus lengthening leaves this kind of scars:

It's from monorail fixators. IDK about Ilizarov with hexapods, but it might be worse than this. Anyways, it doesn't matter much since lasers can blemish them efficiently and then you can tatt the whole arms and nothing will be evident unless someone takes a closer look with the help of a magnification device.

I did the surgery through them on March 14th LOE for tibia and precise2 for femur and I am living in the hotel now lengthening my legs. Will finish lengthening on May 31st. They are very professional, always care about me and visit me frequently. My surgery was successful and I am in my last period of lengthening. I am very positive about everything and look forward to take off the fixator on my legs on June 7th. If you have any question you can email me at 1906455057@qq.com :)

Fake as F LOL

At least Parihar is legit in India but I agree, all the other docs are shady there who does cosmetic LL.

If you value your health and appearance, only go with someone who is a legit orthopedic surgeon specialized in limb deformity corrections. No other surgeon should perform cosmetic LL except someone who knows how to align the bones correctly. I know only a handful of those docs in eastern part of the world and Parihar is one of them IMO.

I thought if risking with LON femur would be justifiable but came to a conclusion that it doesn't worth it due to many reasons. The same goes with internal arm lengthening due to rotator cuff damage.

Basically, the most legit and safe ways to lengthen the following segments are:

Tibia - TSF or Ilizarov with hexapod (either in Russia or with Parihar / Giotikas)
Femur - PRECICE MAX due to reversal option and presumed full weight bearing capacity (other IM nails are not even close to this, so not worth the money)
Humerus - Monorail fixator or Ilizarov with hexapod (the latter being preferred since it can align lengthened bones perfectly)

I know that for humerus IM nail is preferred by many due to little scarring and comfort but IMO it costs the same as internal femur and has a chance of permanently ruining rotator cuff like in tibia where IM nails can damage patellar tendon. IMO, paying huge sums for internal humerus lengthening is pointless when it can be done with experienced orthopedic surgeon with external frames for 1/10th of cost with less risks. Scars can be managed afterwards and it won't cost much. You can save tons of money this way. $50-80k for humerus lengthening with PRECICE is a joke IMO when it can be done for $5-10k with externals.

Indian doctors are f'ed up. I saw a documentary and I found that's a worst country to do surgeries

Personally, I would never go for LL with someone who's not a proper orthopedic surgeon specialized in limb deformity corrections. And there are only a handful of them around the globe who does cosmetic LL.

I think giotikas has more experience. Becker is pretty young guy who just started doing LL and he has no actual experience dealing with any kinda of ortho issues other than LL. Neither of the options are great tbh but I'd prefer giotikas. Better to go to the US if you can.

Although my arm length and wingspan is normal for my natural height, I have a big torso and short legs and that combination affects my arms since it barely comes down past pelvis and due to that I'm unable to comfortably put my hands in pockets when wearing low waist trousers or joggers. Even holding my penis is uncomfortable and requires me to bend a little, the same goes with wiping the arse (it requires much more bending though).

I'm 165-167 cm (night and morning) with 166-167 cm wingspan and 71-72 cm arm length from acromion bone to middle finger. My hands are 17.5 cm long from wrist line to middle finger which is another problem since most men have about 19-20 cm hands and I lose about 1.5-2.5 cm arm length from hands and fingers and it affects my reach to a certain degree. I have measured my humerus length and it's no less than 32 cm and no more than 34 cm from acromion bone to elbow tip. Forearm is about 25-26 cm from elbow tip to wrist.

Now, reach is least of my concerns to be honest since I tend to wear high waist trousers in order to elongate my legs and I can put my hands in pockets comfortably but I have a very specific reason to lengthen my humerus first and then tibia and that reason is the following:

I want to grow my biceps and triceps muscles in order to appear more masculine but I don't want to appear ridiculous since relatively short upper arms look bad even when they're moderately buffed (not insanely buffed like juiced bbers have but aesthetically pleasing level of muscles). I don't intend to overgrow my muscles, just want to have visibly large muscle mass on my upper arms and even that amount of muscles look uncanny on short guys due to short humerus.

Another reason is I want to tatt both of my upper arms fully so +5 cm longer humerus will look much better when tatted since the surface area will be 5 cm longer and I'll be able to tatt more stuff in that case. I know it sounds a bit silly, but it's a legit reason to lengthen humerus since tatted short and buffed humerus is not aesthetically pleasing IMO. Also, since external humerus leaves dirty scars, tatting the whole arms after scar removal and lasering will be necessary nevertheless.

One of the most legit reasons is proper fitting of long sleeved shirts, t-shirts, jumpers, jackets and coats. Almost anytime I purchase new apparel the sleeve length is too long for my arms and I look ridiculous in them unless I shorten the sleeves at a tailor. 5 cm longer arms is no joke since most of the times sleeves are about 2-3 cm longer and with 5 cm longer arms, I won't have issues wearing M size shirts and jackets without burying my hands inside the sleeves.

And, the final reason is increased reach in general. For example, when I stand in public transports, I often can't reach hand holders that are hanging way higher. Also, reaching the steering wheel when sitting in a car will become much more comfortable.

I'm working in delivery and driving a bike so I will benefit from increased reach at my job too.

I'm not going to lengthen my tibia for more than 5.5 cm so meanwhile I can get away with wearing elevator boots that add real 6 cm to one's height.

Also, if I lengthen my humerus first, I'll be able to resume my job much quicker and start saving again for tibia lengthening. 5 cm on humerus should consolidate in about 6 months and I will need about 1-2 months after frame removal to strengthen my arms to a point to drive the bike and lift 10 kg parcels with ease.

Also, if I lengthen my tibia first, I will need much more time to recover to a point where I'll be able to resume my job and start saving for humerus. I might be in fixators for about 10 months for 5.5 cm tibia and then require another 3-4 months of rehab in order to sit on a bike. That's a lot of time compared to humerus lengthening. Also, driving the bike and working in delivery system is much more realistic with recently healed arms rather than with recently healed legs.

The only issue I have with humerus lengthening is it's kinda risky since radial nerve palsy is a possible complication, although not permanent and recovery is possible. I don't know about the percentage of its chance but the risk is there. Apart from that issue, humerus lengthening is much easier as I'll be able to walk freely in the process and do everything except lifting heavy stuff.

The reasons I outlined why I want to lengthen my humerus for 2 inches is all legit and none of them are ridiculous, even though some of it might sound ridiculous at first glance.

I've seen that guy's pic before he did all those facial plastic surgeries and he was overweight at the time. If he reduced his body fat percentage down to a reasonable levels, put on some muscles, did some skincare routine, grew dark beard and brows and either shave his head or got hair transplant and then proper haircut, he would have been much better in terms of functionality and looks.

Basically, him going with some shady Indian doc for jaw surgery and then to another shady Turkish doc for LL at 5 fukin' 11 inches were the most irrational and dumb thing he could do in his life.
