Hexapod has the same amount of scarring as standard Ilizarov frames. The Hexapod struts can be replaced for standard rods after lengthening is completed.
do you know if he is still operating? i emailed however - no response, i'm willing to bite and do external femurs only if it means one surgery and its done by a good doctor. Do we know what length could be done with just monorails?

I am 19 years old male with 153cm height. I don't care about proportions.
Please do some research on the safe limits of lengthening. 17CM is a ridiculous amount and it's good you wouldn't be concerned about proportions as they would be the last of your concerns, you would be lucky to walk without a limp and pain ever again and you can forget about running or sport.
But your proportions would look really, really bad anyway, and seriously the bad proportions alone would not be worth the increase in height.
