I live next to Armenia, so I'm interested about this doctor, not only for price, it's easy for me to move in Yerevan and stay there as long as I need.
I e-mailed him about procedure and he told me that if I lengthen both segments, there's an option to perform it in "Cross-Lateral" mode.
He also told me that they were able to gain 16 centimeters in "Cross-Lateral" mode on a male patient, where full procedure lasted 16 months (Including rehabilitation). He explained that this amount of lengthening where performed because there was significant disproportion between patients lower and upper body.
I want to collect more information about this doctor and his clinic.
Thanks.
Can you link me his/her diary?
Can you tell me what was the major complication he got there?
I'm new here, so I want to summarize every pros and cons before I decide where to go, how much to lengthen, etc.
He charges 1900$ per centimeter (Both legs).
As far as I know, he uses external method (Ilizarov apparatus).
It's kinda useful when lengthening 2 inches or below of that.
I can't imagine that doctors can treat their patients that way. It's so horrible to be treated like "Experimental Monkey", especially when you pay such an amount of money.
I want to undergo this surgery, but I have no funds right now, so I should carefully consider right doctor, where I'll be safe.
Also, price is another factor which "Drags" me to lengthen using external method.
Please, suggest me good options, where it'll be safe and cheap compared to other doctors, like Dr. Paley or Dr. Betz.
Sorry for my moderate English, I believe you fully understand my writings here.
Thanks again!
