How much do Russian doctors charge for LON tibia(or femur)?
I read somewhere that it is 8kUSD? really? that's impossible.
Has someone done it? Can someone tell me the prices? Im a cheap fellow. We indians are born cheap. Cant resist that great a deal. Please someone tell me more about it

It is not impossible, even if it looks like a very complicated surgery, it does not make the prices necessarily impossible, many surgeons when they use LON for non aesthetic surgeries usually lower their prices by more than 50%.  Now, in Russia I know you can get pure externals for 6-7k USD, but I don't know which surgeons work with LON there, Russians are experts in working only with externals. Now, in Vietnam there are a considerable amount of surgeons performing LON for several years for aesthetic cases, many even have quite low prices, especially those outside the capital, I have seen cases of people getting LON for 5-8k USD, but usually these doctors only operate on local people, to foreigners they usually increase the price. You could look into dr. Doan, he is a surgeon based in Hanoi, he is one of the most reputable in Vietnam so to speak, he has a lot of experience operating LON in TIBIAS, I was talking to him and he offers the surgery for 10k USD, and he has several packages including accommodation, physiotherapy and care, but depending on the package the price increases, I was talking to him and some of his patients and it seems that everything is  "ok" for the moment, but I am still looking for more detailed information about the guy and more experiences, because although he has had good results, I don't like that he makes his patients lengthen more than they should, he recommends to lengthen maximum 8 cm, (which is already a lot) but nevertheless some of his patients usually go up to 10 cm, which is crazy for tibias.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

well then since Im in india , it doesnt make sense. 10k USD or 14k USD isnt exactly that different. Ill stick to parihar then.
Russia looks interesting. Russians are the ones who made the ilizarov anyway afaik. They have far more experience doing it than any other country. Ill try to look for the docs who do it. If it's like 6-7k USD im going with russia. No Indian doc even can offer that price. Thanks

Actually you could get pure externals in Russia for up to 5k, in Russia there are too many prices and packages for this surgery, and yes, they are the best doing pure externals, there are hospitals that offer accommodation, physiotherapy, care and the surgery for something like 8k, there are too many options, and usually pure externals usually have better results in terms of recovery, but it is resigning yourself to being in bed for a long time, it is almost 1 year total of lengthening and therapies, you have to be very desperate and without many options to decide for pure externals.  Parihar has good prices, and good reputation for having been with Paley, you should save a little and go with him, you are in India, at home, think better of it. Dr. Doan in Vietnam also offers a package that includes accommodation, food, physiotherapy, transfers and of course the surgery for 15k, the package is to get to a maximum of 6 cm in both tibias, it would also be a good option to consider, as you would not have to worry about anything else.
Remember that cheap is expensive, health and your legs are the most important thing, I am still gathering information from Vietnam and Turkey, to have the Lon done by 2022 at the latest, I want a good price, but I also need to be sure that my legs are going to be in someone competent. In my long search, I have seen some doctors offering LON at up to 8k in countries like Iran and Egypt, and there is very little information, so be careful, don't be driven to desperation.

yeah. I am thinking about parihar. But the guy has this rule that I need to bring my parents. Im 22. WHy on earth would I need to inform my parents. I dont even live with them. Im entirely independent. This is my biggest problem with parihar. He doesnt make an exception in case of indian patients. For outsiders it isnt that big of a deal. Im gonna hire someone to be my mother/father lol. Only way out

That is really very strange hahaha, it makes no sense, curiously I am also 22 years old, and my intention is to do this on the sly, mostly to avoid a worry to my mother, because she sees this surgery as something deadly. If I had to have surgery in India, I would definitely choose Parihar, but yes, it is very strange that he is so selective and requires you to bring your parents when at 22, you are more than an adult. How much does Parihar charge for LON in TIBIAS? I would like to lengthen 6 cm, do you know if he has any package with accommodation and care, and its price?

He actually doesnt have that rule for people from outside of India. At least that's what he said on an interview(cyborg4life youtube).

He told me it would cost 9 lac rupees. As of today that would be 12600 dollars. Although he doesnt offer any packages of any kind. This cost is for the hospital charges and I think a stay of 5-6 days or something in the hospital. And all other costs.
For accomodation you're on your own. India is dirt cheap if you know people here and can get a place to stay in. It would cost 130-150 dollars per month in a 2bedroomhallkitchen apartment in bombay I believe. But if you stay in a 3star hotel that's going to be at least 10 times more.

The only reason why im thinking about sarin is the fact that he has no such rule. I am NEVER going to tell my parents XD. I should be allowed to do whatever I want to do with my body/money/legs. FTW

Oh yes, for LON it is 1 lac rupees extra. So that becomes 14000 USD.
