Hey everyone, so I am finally over 18. And life sure sucks being short—especially 5’0.75. Anyway,
after living for 3 years in the US now I am so tired of it and its people, so I have looked into doing LL abroad in Mexico. Does anyone have info about surgeons in Mexico or Latam? Good ones. I am not going to spend more than $10k on said surgery if I even do it. I am not as stupid as most Americans/Westernerns when it comes to spending my capital (yup, I have seen how easily Americans get rid of their money, just look at their rent prices for instance!).

If someone has good information please let me know! Knowing Mexico and its health system already, which is much better than the American one despite veing partially government-funded (not completely since there also is a large private health sector), I am aware I can find a really good surgeon who does not charge exaggerated prices as in the US or Europe.

Unfortunately we don't have any info on doctors in Mexico, good or bad.

I wouldn't be too conservative with the money when it comes to your own health, though. I'd rather be a few extra grand down than crippled for life.

Again, it is more about believing in the health system of my country. The American system is so fked up and I refuse to pay a single penny to any doctor up here unless it is an emergency and I have no choice... Considering that LL is around 100 grand in the US is simply ridiculous.

You get what you pay for.

You should not be going for a cheap option for this surgery. $100k+ in the U.S because doctors such as Dr. Paley are the best.

No seas pendejo guey qualquier cirujano te puede meter el fiero, pero de los que no te van a dejar jodidos son pocos. Ya se que el pollito ya se quiere hacer gallo y en eso estamos iguales. Pero aunque todos los doctores en latinoamerican sean super buenoes no hay doctores especializados en LL CosMetiCa. No te desesperes guey ponte las pilas hay doctores baratos y chingones

Technically, there must be at least one good surgeon. I just doubt he'd agree to do CLL.

People have congenital limb length discrepancies, or ones that stem from accidents. How else can a doctor treat a 4cm limb length discrepancy present in only one of a patient's legs? He'll lengthen that leg with an external fixator, or refer to an orthotist who can make insoles or whatever other form of prostheses that might deal with the discrepancy, without the need for surgical intervention.

But like people said, if you find a doctor greedy enough to do it, despite not being a "name" in this field and not normally performing CLL, you're gambling (even more) with your own legs.
