I read all what is written here and as a cosmetic limb lengthening specialist, i can confirm that most of people here had a wrong idea about the methos, co0mplications, risks or pain encountered with it. The method and devcies became more and more advanced and developed. The complications is almost nill if the operation is done with a professional limb lengthening surgeon. Conventional method as Ring Ilizarov fixator can work perfectly in case it is applied in a modern way that meet the western standard in medicine, not as originally invented a long time ago in Russia. Personally, i have many patients from all over the world including USA, some of them are movie stars, bussiness men, doctors and pharmacist and they are very happy with the results of their operation and siad that they would like to do it again if the time come back ! Any one wish to know more about the operation can go to my web site: www.lengthening.net or e.mail me: yasser@elbatrawy.com
