Title: Hi LL recommendations?
Post by: Harry1309 on September 14, 2022, 08:32:20 PM

Hello I am Harry, I am new to this forum and am in the research phase in looking for a good Limb Lengthening clinic. If anyone can give me some pointers towards a recommended clinic it would be highly appreciated

I have seen some in the US and UK however they are out of my price range for sure, so I am looking for somewhere; safe, secure and affordable.

Thank You,
Harry

As far as weight bearing nails go, do you think Giotikas is better than Betz?  Or are they similar?

At ICLL in Baltimore we have femoral PRECICE lengthening options that start at 60,000 USD including all physical therapy.

With a very personalized service and aftercare quality that will no suddenly change when your surgery is done or once your lengthening is over.

most of our patients do not use a caretaker anymore . we give access to one however there is additional fee

Food is available at the hospital cafeteria for those who don’t want to cook.

we are not an all included resort :) the fee would be much higher !
