How big is the fail risk of Leg Lengthening ?
« on: July 27, 2015, 10:17:25 PM »

I live in latvia a small east European country in EU but bordered with Russia. in my city half population are Russians.
the price is relatively cheap but I am not sure if it's safe enough. I heard some patients get unable or leg length discrepancy.

does anyone know about the price and safety of LL surgery in other European countries such as Germany?

I'm giving the obvious answer, depending on who you do it with. From what I've read if you go to a very renowned doctor it's 0.01%. Just pick a good doctor and don't be afraid- does the idea of getting run over by cars stop you from crossing the road?

Considering LL in 2016. Will have a detailed diary at the time.

I have heard that even in America only several doctors can do such surgery.  I am in a small country in east Europe. does it sound safe?  if not, can you introduce me some doctors?
