Hi there.
I was pretty active here some time ago. I had a surgery planned for this month but I cancelled it.
Since the cancellation I had ups and downs. I decided to ask family and close friends with ties to get info on this thing from various sources which do not include the internet. So here is what I managed to discover.
Dr.Guichet: Through family in france with ties with official in health ministry I was able to discover that guichet left France because he had to. He was actually facing ALOT of lawsuits because of people he fked up. The guy can no longer work as a doctor in France.
Dr.Paley: Through family friends in Toronto (where he began), he started to work at "sick-kids" hospital. After facing a couple of law suits for malpractice, the guy came in terms with the hospital to "leave by his own will". He went to Baltimore where after a couple of years he was also forced to leave. After he went to Florida which is the only state (To my knowledge) that does not have malpractice insurence for docs which means that he can legally fk you up.
Dr.Pilli: through info from Prof.Montanari (Head of Ilizarov unit at Rizzoli institute of bologna which is considered one of the most advanced orthopedic centers in the world). The guy is a con artist. He is a "persona non grata" in Rizzoli hospital. The guy made alot of pubblicity for himself. Luckily for him, because he is only operates in a private hospital, the patients who get fked up can't do nothing because of how Italian medical-legal system works.
This is pretty much a summery of what I have learned. You can believe me or not... It's up to you... I post it because I care for many people here. Some are decent nice people, some are complete nutjobs and others are self loathing.
I wish that each one of you will make a decision that he will feel 100% with.
Best regards to all
Info on the LL "industry" and why you should reconsider some of the surgeons
Interesting post man, about Pili is he still associated with Dr Catagni? Has there been anything specific about him?
So now you are sure of your choice ?
Have you learned something about Catagni?
About Dr. Guichet. I was interested in him before so I read a lot of information on him in the French forum (like doctissimo) and I know that in his first years of activity (2006-2008 from my remembrances) he has had several accidents and many complaints. Now accidents must reflect on the causes, because there is a heavy work to be done after the operation. And if it is not done, it is not surprising either.
Leg lengthening straddles the line between voluntary amputation and conventional cosmetic surgery. The way some doctors sell it is sick. It takes a certain sort of person to do that, so these stories aren't surprising.
Wow, Guichets website is gross. It shows a woman "3 months" after multiple tendon lengthenings and a 10CM (!!) femur gain RUNNING along holding the OLYMPIC torch. Anyone that reads the diaries knows this is so far off reality it's not funny.

I don't think Dr. G would lie about this because it was publicized in the news as well. I don't remember the website, but I do remember he actually had the newspaper article framed in his office. Found the story online:

I dont think he lie, it's just someone who have very good result.
What I would like to know is whether the incidents has directly to do with the operation or further operations. In the first case it is much more worrying.

Almost all the surgeons have stuff like that on their websites. You should see the spam email I now get from Dr. Mahboubian after I contacted him. Me thinks someone took a marketing class or two, lol. Definitely plays on height insecurities.
Anyway, my last post here. After speaking with TIBike200 frequently outside of this forum (we are the same height), I've realized that my height is not really that bad. I'm 5'7 or close to 5'8, and that is good enough.
I've got a hot wife, cute kids, 2 thriving businesses, over a million in the bank (well, on the balance sheet anyway), I'm respected in my community, I've never lacked female attention, black on black SL400 in the driveway, etc...
So some 6' guys and some women might think I am short? Since when do I give a rat's a** what anyone thinks, especially a woman? I'm richer than most those 6' guys, and there are plenty of women who don't care about my height. (I know, I've banged plenty of them)
I have the will and the means to change my life anytime I want.
It's going to take some time to put height neurosis behind me, no doubt. But I just saved myself $100,000 on LL, so I'll just keep going to my shrink, lol. (besides, give me the $200,000 that Iamready spent with Paley and 15 years, I'll turn it into $2 million)
I wanted to thank TIBike200, DIFM, and Alu for being voices of reason. Good luck guys.
Now i'm gonna block this forum on all my devices, and work on purging thoughts of height from my head.

Fair enough - I see she only had one leg done and was a teenager, which we don't really see here.
