Hey guys,

I´m 1,70 (5′ 6) and decided to go for 6cm/2.3 inches in tibias. Have been long time thinking about it.

I´d like to make it as safe as possible, that´s why 6cm is ok for me.

My budget is 20K-30k, but I wouldn´t mind to pay more if the method allows me to recover faster.

As Paley or Mahboubian are totally out of my budget, the doctors that I like the most are Dr Ghassan Salameh & Dr. M. Schmidt and Dr Xia & Dr Li.

Do you think they are good options?

What other doctors do you recommend?

Thank you!!

You could look at Dr Giotikas in Greece. He does external tibias with TSF frames for around 25k (US).

Looks like there are not many cases of the greek doctor  Doesn´t seem very safe to go with him.

Your budget fits parihar. If you don't care about the Indian environment it will be the best choice.

Have you read the thread about Xia?

[eddiemorra]

there some scary comments about the chinese doctor

Kulesh is the best for my budget I think he is good
US are the best but too costly .
India , Greece costly more then RUSSIA .
Danghon cost as US .
It depend on budget in my opinion.

There is also a video about Dr Xia, where a girl is complaining about the butchery she had to suffer from. I think you have to be cautious with him.
I would think about about German doctors, the rest seems to be too risky imho.

do not go to kulesh...
pilli/kulesh are not good physicians to go to. They do achilles tendon lengthening when lengthening over 4-5 cm (very bad outcomes due to this) and have had multiple negative pt experiences on this forum.

Danghon Lee, Giotikas, Parihar should be good cheaper options than US for external tibias

Why does everyone want tibia? Why not femur? Only aesthetically?

What I know and I learned from doctors:
Femur lengthening and boiling is better.
The negative effect of the femur on the body is less. (Body movements etc.)

Negative aspect of femur. Having more pain than the first period.

Hi tanerjames
The reason for tibia is mainly the lower cost since external tibias are doable.  For femurs, you need to do only internal which is more expensive than external tibias.  Some people may choose tibias for aesthetical reason, too.
