Quote from: Body Builder on May 11, 2017, 01:18:19 AMI think he charges about 50k euros which are a lot but of course less than Guichet who use the same nail.
If I had to choose between Betz and Guichet I would easily choose the first to be honest.
as of 2014 its been 52k euros for tibias if i recall correctly and same
There are some people who hate Dr Betz but he's not that bad and has good results
Fresh information about prices of Dr.Betz
Our patients can gain up to 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) in one operation on both upper legs (femurs) and about 3-4 inches (7-9 cm) in both lower legs (tibias).
The rate of lengthening is 1 millimetre per day in femurs and about 0.7 mm in tibias. Every 10 days is 1 cm or 0.7 cm. Patients can gain up to 10 cm (4 inches) in 3 ½ months in femur.
You have the option of staying at the residential centre at the Betz Institute, rehabilitation clinic, an apartment nearby, or with a local family. The prices vary depending on where you stay. In the rehab clinic it is 150 € per day including full accommodation, physical therapy and medication.
Patients can also return home after their hospital stay once they feel comfortable with the lengthening. Patients can lengthen in Germany in or near our institute or return home to lengthen. Many of our patients return home shortly after the hospital stay. It is possible for our patients to return home to lengthen 4-5 weeks after their operation.
The internal device „Betzbone“ used by Prof. Dr. Betz is preferred for cosmetic limb lengthening because of its many advantages. The device is completely internal, allows for immediate weight bearing, patients do not require the use of a wheelchair and may use crutches from the day after the operation and allows for a 12cm/ 4-5 inch gain. You can walk from the first day after surgery. It has extremely small scars, a minimal risk of infection and a simple design to eliminate risk of mechanical failure. Patients are in complete control of the rate of distraction, easy monitoring and controlling allows patients to return to home, work or school sooner than any other device. Depending on your work – do have to walk a lot or more sitting work – you can start your work/life activities soon. There is normally nothing against to work during recovery period.
The internal device is the only device that allows patients full weight bearing in combination with the use of crutches during the lengthening. Other devices require the use of a wheelchair or expensive, specially made orthopaedic device during and after the lengthening phase.
The recovery depends on the amount of gain. After the lengthening the bone takes approx. 6-8 weeks to consolidate enough for patients to begin walking without crutches. Please note that this time frame may vary.
Here is the timeframe of a typical limb lengthening patient for both femurs at the same time:
Operation/rest = 1 day
Hospital = typically 10-14 days
Lengthening = 1 millimetre per day, 3 cm per month.
Consolidation = typically 8-12 weeks (this phase may be longer)
Concerning pain: the pain feeling is different in every patient but all of our patients receive pain medication and muscle relaxant so there is no need to bear pain.
The whole procedure of both femurs costs approx. 49.100 Euro and covers the entire operation, implants, hospital stay up to 14 days, physical therapy during the hospital stay, and Prof. Dr. Betz post-operative visits. The cost to lengthen both tibias (lower legs) is approx. 52.700 Euro.
Prof. Dr. Betz is the most experienced limb lengthening surgeon in the world with internal devices. Cosmetic limb lengthening is a routine procedure for Prof. Dr. Betz in which he has performed over 800 procedures approx. 8-10 procedures per month. Every operation has a risk. But this surgery is a used operation for us. We provide limb lengthenings since about 20 years. Complications are seldom and we never had a big complication like infection or loss or malfunction of a limb etc.
We encourage all potential patients to come for a consultation and visit our facility (hospital, residential centre, rehabilitation centre), see the accommodations, and meet current patients during different stages of lengthening so that they can see the results for themselves. When patients come for their consultations they have the option of having their picture taken for the purpose of manipulating it for patients to see what they would look like with different gains.
Hasnt he crippled Metanoia And Apo? How is he a good surgeon? Am I missing something?
