Giotikas is almost most experienced active cosmetic LL doctor in Europe (maybe just after notorius Guichet). He has been doing cosmetic LL surgeries already what 10 years?
With Giotikas you are in safe hands.
i respectfully disagree. See below.
Antonio. You clearly no nothing about leg lengthening since you asked on a different forum if the precice nail can weight bear, so please don't talk. Give som value arguments, facts and statistics instead of your personal unlogical opinion.
Yes i asked about the weight the nail can bear. Because I was clarifying something from Paleys document itself. Dont mix the two mate.
You want facts and logic? Giotikas diaries show many with misaligned bones. Top docs would argue that alignment is very important eg donghoon, paley etc. Misaligned bones put stress on joints. Plus one of giotikas patient died.
If this was a small ear surgery, i'd pay the lower fees, take the risk and go to some cheaper doctor. The worst case isn't that bad.
But you are forgetting that THIS is a big surgery and death can happen. I personally WAS going to go with giotikas until i saw the misaligned bones and then a death. That was the end point for me. You have to see facts objectively and then form your own opinion around it. I'm pretty sure if the same guy went to Paley, he'd be alive right now. How can i say that? look at the huge number of surgeries Paley has done and not a single death? Think.
Remember the dead cant speak up against any mistake that the doctor MIGHT have done. So it's survival bias.
LG1816, I personally would not send myself nor my family to go to giotikas. He is NOT that experienced as many other doctors. Let the results in mis-alignment/death speak for itself.
If you or anyone wants to bear the risk, up to you. I gave my personal opinion. Please dont let the cheap price convince you to overlook facts.
If you go with him, and come out healthy, great, I am happy for you.
