In the polls below, we’re selecting the best limb lengthening doctors from different countries around the world based on your votes. Each poll includes the most prominent surgeons from that region. You can vote for the doctor you believe is the best, based on your own experience, research, or observations.Each member has only one vote per country poll. The voting period lasts for one month. The listed doctors were selected based on general feedback across the internet and forums. No new doctor suggestions will be accepted for this poll, but you are welcome to share your thoughts in the comments.
In the lists, the clinics or companies are mentioned before the doctors’ names. This is because payments for limb lengthening surgeries are usually handled by the clinics, and these institutions play a direct role in managing the post-surgery process. Therefore, when voting, it is recommended to consider not only the doctor but also the overall service quality of the associated clinic.

The United States offers some of the most advanced medical infrastructure and experienced teams in the world for limb lengthening surgery. Internal (implant-based) lengthening systems are especially preferred for both aesthetic and orthopedic procedures. However, these high-tech and prestigious clinics come with significant costs—surgery prices in the U.S. typically range from $85,000 to $150,000. Therefore, the country is mostly preferred by patients with a high budget.

Russia, the historical origin of limb lengthening methods, continues to use modernized versions of traditional external fixator techniques. These are especially prominent in correcting orthopedic deformities and generally cost around $40,000 to $90,000. South Korea, on the other hand, is known for its high-tech implant systems, detailed patient monitoring, and aesthetics-focused approach. Procedures there usually range from $45,000 to $90,000, making the country a popular destination for patients seeking low complication rates and advanced infrastructure in cosmetic limb lengthening.

I don’t get the hype around Paley. Yes, he’s skilled, but the clinic operates like a business first. If you’re rich, fine, but it’s not for everyone for sure.00 -

The poll really shows that each country has its own unique “style” of doing things. USA = tech + price. Turkey = affordability + solid work. Europe = variety. Korea = precision and aesthetics. Don’t choose just based on the name, choose based on your goals. The surgery and service you get are basically the same everywhere.
I’ve been into limb lengthening for 3 years and I’ve had the surgery myself, but I still don’t get how the exact same procedure can be sold at such different prices. How can there be a $50,000 difference between two countries? Blows my mind. That’s why I support many developing countries. They make you feel like a god for what you pay.

Still can’t believe people pay over $100k for this. I’m not judging, just trying to understand if it’s really worth it.00 -

Last year, I underwent quadrilateral surgery at Become Taller Clinic with Dr Cimen. My intended goal was 12cm, and I achieved precisely that. At the time, the clinic operated with multiple surgeons, however, I was assigned to Dr Cimen. During that period, I toured several facilities across Turkey, though none offered a sense of security, and a number of them even quoted higher prices. Presently, I notice they’ve placed Dr Cimen as their primary listing and seem to collaborate exclusively with him, which appears to be a favorable development.00 -

People overthink the doctor names too much. Just make sure they’re experienced and the clinic doesn’t treat you like a number. That’s what matters.00 -

Why is no one talking about India or Iran?? There are surgeons there too and prices are really cheap. Maybe next poll should include them x00-

That’s a very insightful experience you’ve shared. It’s encouraging to hear you achieved your intended 12cm goal successfully with Dr. Cimen at Become Taller Clinic. Touring multiple facilities beforehand clearly gave you perspective, and it seems reassuring that the clinic now collaborates exclusively with Dr. Cimen. Your detailed account adds valuable guidance for others considering similar surgery.
