Nice idea. It will make researching doctors easier for many people.

Since I have knowledge of Turkish, I have been researching Turkish LL surgeons for quite a time now, and have communicated some of them personally. I will present info about them so that you can add them to the list.

These doctors are part of a team called Wannabetaller, and in respective pages you can find example cases of each doctor. There are other doctors as well, and when I get into contact with them and get info, I will share on the forum too.

From my talks with them, all these doctors do not advise going over 8 cm on thighs and 6-7 cm on tibia.

I was surprised that Turkey has so many surgeons, all with good education and experience, with attractive prices too, however they go under the radar of many. So it was a good chance to share a bit of knowledge and material for forummates to research.
