Sliding genioplasty and fat grafting/liposuction ARE in fact more complex surgeries than cosmetic limb lengthening. Furthermore, orthognatic surgery and facelifts are significantly more complex than limb lengthening as far as surgery is concerned. (Don't confuse the difficulty of recovery with the complexity of the surgery.) And yes, these surgeries became significantly more affordable when the techniques improved and allowed predictable outcomes.
As a matter of fact, cosmetic limb lengthening is pretty straightforward. An average orthopaedic surgeon deals with far more complex cases than lengthening healthy legs on a daily basis (correcting extreme congenital bone deformities, putting together bones shattered in horrific accidents, etc). They don't offer CLL because they don't think it's ethical, not because CLL requires some kind of advanced skills they don't already have.
This source states that there were 25 thousand orthopaedic surgeons in US in 2009. That's twenty five thousand orthopaedic surgeons with higher level skills or equal to dr Paley in America alone.

I have no idea if Stryde will tip the balance towards CLL becoming acceptable in the eyes of orthopaedic surgeons community. I hope it does. But if it does and more surgeons start offering it, there's no doubt that the price will go down.

A genioplasty ist more complex?? Sorry but you are a guy who knows nothing. I had a genio. Beside of that you can not split everything. There is the surgery and then the lengthening and healing procedure. That belongs together and therefore its more complex as a genio which is not so a difficult surgery. Every doctor in this field says limb lengthening is the biggest and most complex procedure in world of cosmetic surgery. Even with Stryde that wont change extremely. Are you smarter than any doctor? OK you can wait 5-10 years till prices will plummet. Maybe yoz are right, maybe not. Its your decision. Good luck!
Surgery in China is divided into four grades, and other countries may have such a classification.
1. Low risk, low difficulty, similar to cutting double eyelids
2. The difficulty is generally moderate risk, rhinoplasty liposuction surgery
3 The risk is greater, the difficulty is greater, the limb is extended
4. The risk is very high. It is very difficult. Intracranial surgery
It is usually more difficult for CLL to serve normal people. A gnome has a normal human nerve that is only a genetic defect. This is why it can be extended so much. But the normal human nerve is more exposed to the risk of being stretched.
