Reply To: Turkey or Vietnam for limb lengthening?

The hate is totally pointless. Turkey did this surgery for years at cheap prices and even sold to Europe and China. I’m European myself and had my surgery in Turkey, during my stay I met like 50 other limb lengthening patients there and never saw anyone with serious problems. I even did it with my childhood friend, we stayed together. We both did LON. I gained 7.8 cm and he gained 7.6 cm, exactly what we aimed for.

Turkey kept the prices fair for a long time. Later when prices went up worldwide, Turkey’s prices also rose and I think that’s why people started hating. But the doctors there gained insane experience thanks to the high patient traffic. While a German doc might do 2–3 surgeries a month, Turkish docs were doing 10+ a month. Do the math. More surgeries means better skills and performance.

I’m not defending anyone or getting paid. I’m just telling it like it is as someone who’s been through it. After my surgery I even dedicated myself more to this field and I’ll go back to Turkey again. I don’t think much of Vietnam, met someone who went there and his experience wasn’t positive. Honestly don’t even consider it.
