Title: Reccomindations and thoughts
Post by: Adam___ on March 31, 2018, 06:21:20 AM: Hello guys I am thinking of under going LL in the next year or so but just wanted to get more information I’m 22 years of age I’m 5’7 from Australia. With a muscular build I have played sports through out my years such as. Soccer, football (AFL) I consider myself athletic and very strong mentally and physically. My goal height is to be 5’11 or 6’0 any recommendations would be helpful and tips or any doctors 30k would be my max price just an FYI.

Thank you in advanced guys!

You should do 2 LLs.
But with 30k you can do 1 LL on tibias and nothing more.

So have a realistic aim of getiing to 5.9-5.95 with 1 LL or gather more money to do 2 LLs and reach up to 6ft.

I have been checking the surgeons listed in the directory on this forum and find that most now charge more than double the rates listed.

I understand that some of the information posted in the directory of doctors on this forum is about 4 years old; however, more than double the price seems like an excessive increase.

Many doctors, actually. No doctor in the US will operate for that low, and forget internals like Precice, since the nails alone will surpass $30k.

The general rule for affordable tibial CLL: look outside the US and choose pure externals/LON/LATN. Italy, Russia, South Africa, etc.

Search the forums a bit more, you'll see plenty of threads about affordable doctors. It's a popular question!
