Title: Best Value Surgeon
Post by: xifewi7458 on July 21, 2020, 10:39:09 PM
Whats the cheapest way to go from 164.5cm to 174cm that is also safe?

I was looking at Dr. Sarin but I've seen a lot of negativity about him

I'm also looking at Dr. Solomin who has a better reputation but he uses cross lengthening which I've read is bad

The cheapest reputable doctors are Dr. Giotikas in Greece and Dr. Parihar in India.

There are too many bad cases with Sarin. He even ended up with the nickname “the butcher”. I would strongly advice against him. Like HobbsTheDog said, Dr. Parihar and Dr. Giotikas are both reputable doctors and are more affordable. The surgery with Dr. Parihar is cheaper than with Dr. Giotikas, but it doesn’t include pt or accommodation. I’m planning on getting it done with Dr. Parihar in a few years. Another option could be Dr. Halid Buldu from Turkey. Not too many diaries from him. He works with a medical tourism company called LiveLifeTaller, and you can see his patients on his Instagram “LiveLifeTaller”. Dr. Parihar has published many papers and talked on many conferences concerning the ilizarov technique.

For 10cm you need 2surgeries. This will be a looong expensive journey my friend. Be prepared. Especially fnancially.

Dr Solomin can do 2 surgeries for around £25,000 using cross lengthening

I'll go with him if there is no other choice

Doing it with Solomin is a good price but bare in mind that external femurs are extremely annoying. You would need to sort out VISA issues, find a carer, struggle to even take a proper sh*t on the toilet with that massive frame on your thigh and with quad lengthening you cannot just stop after the first surgery, you must do both. If someone initially wanted to lengthen 10cm in 2 surgeries and after the first surgery changed their mind because they were satisfied with that height, they would still have to proceed with the second one. Check out Turkey or Greece which are much comfortable options and they won't kill your wallet either.

Have the same goal as your, but I’m thinking of going 13cm max so 3inches on femurs and 2 inches in tibia. Got Dr parihar on mind as it’ll be easier for me to go India as I’m Indian my self... other option is Dr giotikas. Other then then not many other surgeons who are cheap and reputable
