The surgery is too damn hard and alot of members have hidden thier complication realy its sad. So even the real members accept money and dont tell. There is no any old veterans here other than medium drink of water. This forum is dead. People here only talk about proportions. This forum has its ytopia
I received this e-mail from Doctor Birkholtz:

Dear Prospective Patient,
After long hours of contemplation and soul-searching, I have decided not to offer Cosmetic Limb Lengthening at my
practice anymore. This may come as a shock to some of you and certainly will derail a lot of plans.
The decision was not taken lightly. The overriding reason for my decision is that it has become clear to me (based on
the complications I see from elsewhere), that the risk-benefit ratio of CLL swings firmly to the ‘risk’ side. In other
words, the potential complications are not worth the risk of permanent functional impairment. For this reason I can not
ethically continue to offer this surgery.
Ironically, once a complication is present, I can get involved morally, as this type of complication correction surgery
makes up the bulk of my work and here I can provide effective solutions for difficult problems. This swings the ethical
risk-benefit equation into the other direction.
My patients’ best interest and safety come first and for this reason the decision was taken and is also a final
decision. I will ask you to please respect this decision and also refrain from endless engagements and discussions
on online platforms, social media etc.
If, after weighing all the risks and benefits and you are still keen on pursuing CLL, PLEASE choose an ethical doctor
and choose someone with a solid track record, not only in CLL, but also in management of complications.
With my best regards,
Sorry, I didn't read the thread before posting.
