That is not a problem, in MEDEM all speak english. but what more?

Can you do this on a tourist visa if you dont plan to stay - consultation, surgery and then 3 days - then leave?

vegeta24 · « **Reply #34 on:** March 05, 2017, 03:23:34 PM »

I thought Dr Solomin does speak English. He responded to my emails in English not the best but it seems obvious he's familiar with it.

egocentrical · « **Reply #35 on:** March 05, 2017, 11:30:38 PM »

Ok - got a reply back and was adding everything up and i got these totals;

MEDEM CLINIC TOTAL = £4341.33
ELIZABETH CLINIC TOTAL = £3139.72

For Surgery (LON) Plus Nails and 3 day stay - either i got this wrong or this is very cheap?

Extremely cheap.

I calculated how much a 10 month stay in St Petersburg would cost inclusive of everything- plus extra money- bought me to £15,000. I could probably stay for half that time. Going to Russia looks increasingly tempting... I've also heard mostly good stories about Solomin.

i have only seen dozers(kulesh) and badwolfs diary..could you please post the links to other diaries if you know?

onemorefoot · « **Reply #39 on:** March 06, 2017, 04:14:49 AM »

As far as I know there are only two diaries form St. Petesburg, but there are a good option, also not expensive.

egocentrical · « **Reply #40 on:** March 06, 2017, 09:37:29 AM »

How much did you calculate for just surgery and hospitals stay? I'm hoping we got the same figure or close to - the sheet he sends back on emails is loaded with prices.

Jack1066 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 06, 2017, 11:42:12 AM »

Not much at all. I can't remember but maybe 500,000 or £6,500? The rest was for other expenses.

Yeah I've only seen those two and another guy who wrote about Dr. Kulesh (who apparently works with Solomin). They seemed happy enough.

Except badwolf (I think) had some problems but they didn't seem to be Solomin's fault.

Bander72 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 08, 2017, 03:19:23 PM »

One thing I like about the other russian doc barinov is thay you can stay at the hospital which at 1200 euros is not a lot if I lon for 4 cm. It seems though that solomin he does not want to take that many international patients if he is recomending his student.

doomsday · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2017, 05:25:57 PM »

As far as i know Solomin is on every CLL operation.

Jack1066 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2017, 08:29:43 PM »

Yes Kulesh always operates with Solomin as I've been told in this forum.

egocentrical · « **Reply #45 on:** March 10, 2017, 11:57:12 AM »

Would a tourist visa be acceptable as I don't plan to stay for lengthening period? I think I'm set on this doctor as they reply and seem competent and within my budget.

Bry · « **Reply #46 on:** April 19, 2017, 06:39:59 PM »

Dr Solomin is my first choice, Im just worried that I might end up lengthening the fermur and not the tibs

Bry · « **Reply #47 on:** April 20, 2017, 08:05:59 PM »

I plan on doing it next year with Dr Solomin for 7cm increase, Im 167cm.

I'm pretty sure my upper and lower legs are almost the same length, is there any way to measure it?
Should I do the full 7cm or divide it in cross lengthening?
Femur or tibs?
I got 175cm wingspan and a short torso.

onemorefoot · « **Reply #48 on:** April 20, 2017, 09:25:37 PM »

External femurs is pure hell, if you can go out of that you Will be a Hero.

June · « **Reply #49 on:** July 25, 2017, 12:02:44 AM »

I did legs correction with dr. Oleg Kaplunov.

He's not just a great surgeon he is a great person!
I ll try to make a separate post about my whole experience.

So he doesn't do precice or internals at all? Any specific reason, is it considered too risky or assumed to havelong term complications?

From their information document:

Quote

Unfortunately, at present time we can’t perform internal lengthening: implants (selflengthening nails) are not certificated in Russia.

BK524 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 25, 2018, 09:26:38 PM »

Is it me or has the price skyrocketed? Pretty sure SEH used to charge 140000 now they charge 250000?

Tiger9898 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 25, 2018, 09:51:13 PM »

Price increased suddenly around 1 month ago. There are a lot of patients going there recently,maybe that's why they decided to increase prices

BK524 · « **Reply #57 on:** August 25, 2018, 10:02:34 PM »

Indeed, still very cheap, could do CL for less than £8000 if you only do 3 or 4cm.

qirenzhe123 · « **Reply #58 on:** October 14, 2018, 07:18:43 PM »

How much does it cost to extend the 6.5cm tibia over there now? the full cost?

Francesco · « **Reply #59 on:** December 06, 2018, 04:43:33 PM »

Hello Guys.

I am from Brazil, planning to perform the procedure in September/October 2019.

My first option was Dr.Barinov or Dr.Amar sarin, but now i've reading a lot of positive things about Dr Kulesh/Solomin.

Anyone planning perform the surgery at the same time in Russia ?

Please Let me Know.

Sounds like with less than 15k US Dollars you are able to gain 7.5cm, that is my goal.

Starting height: 171.5cm
Goal: 179cm

ReCKLeSS · « **Reply #60 on:** June 24, 2019, 04:06:21 AM »

I hear MEDEM has already stopped providing the surgery, does anyone know about this?

Aedi · « **Reply #61 on:** July 14, 2019, 12:10:14 AM »

Any one been to doctor solomin and Kelush to share with us his diary ?
The cost for Lon close between dr sarin and solomin . I been inspired by Arabic man diary he is doing good with dr sarin . The point here we haven’t heard any more about patients to dr solomin . But we been getting lately too many patients to sarin .
