Thanks for asking Dr. Parihar about forearm lengthening. While it's unfortunate that it doesn't seem possible to safely lengthen this particular segment, Dr. Parihar's response demonstrates once again what a responsible and careful surgeon he is. Anyone doing lengthening procedures with him is definitely in very good hands.
its just a shame that all those people who went to sarin and sringari could have gone to dr parihar instead for the same price.

Agreed, had Sysop/Apo or what ever else he goes by these days(I've lost count) took his time, did his research and not rush into picking the first Indian person with the title Dr. in front of their names, we wouldnt have this forum and previous patients would not have been butchered all in the name of greed. Sigh...
Thanks for the reply Kilo, on a personal note how are things going with you atm? How much have you lengthened and are you having any pain/discomfort atm?
Quote from: Polycrates. on October 22, 2014, 12:26:20 AMDr. Parihar is my ideal choice to do femurs with. I just have to see if he is willing to take me on as a patient. From what Kilokahn says, there are many people at his clinic undergoing external procedures on the femur for various deformities, so I am confident he can lengthen me safely with that method. The pain of external should be less than the pain of shelling out 40kUSD for a pair of precice nails.
Your ideal choice would be to see a psychiatrist...
I think external femur can be done safely according to clinical studies. but its true we need more diaries to be 100% sure.
I think polycrates is making a logical decision. I think 123 you should rethink why people see psychologists. its not applicable in this case.
I too want to do external femurs. im not going to pay the price of a house for LL when I don't need to.

It's not about external femur, it's that he still isn't satisfied with his height at 184cm + he can't even walk. Sorry, but this is just insane...
I have a lot of friends who are around 185cm and they all consider themselves tall (because they are). So why would you even think about LL at 184cm? Sorry but I just don't get that...

he just hate his femur to tibia ratio, he say it looks really bad
123, it's not as simple or trivial as his tibiae to femur ratio looking bad. It's a matter of it being bad, biomechanically, for running, jumping, balance, and even walking. That is no way to live life.
Femur lengthening would restore an anatomically normal ratio and prevent potential knee and back issues from altered biomechanics down the road, plus allow running and jumping once muscle and nerves have recovered.
Sorry if I'm missing something, but can a psychiatrist do that?
hmm. well I agree with 123, it is already a tall height and no one should have any height issues at this height.
but I also agree with taller and the biomechanical aspects need to be fixed.
I guess he has no choice but to fix the biomechanical issues (femur to tibia ratio)
in hindsight polycrates should have got less lengthening on tibia, and spread it over both tibia and femur.
4.5cm on each would have been much safer, especially considering external femur.
I personally think that no LL patient should only get 1 segment done. but if people are getting 2 segments done they should not max out each of the segments.
