Thanks Cyborg. Just found her today in a random search and found your video of interview. So informative!
Incredible interview!
As a Canadian, I really enjoyed this. She seems great. Hope you can make more content with her or other Canada content. My plan A is LL with Dr. Paley but this is also nice to know she is available.
Why not have it done in Canada, if the health care system pays for part of the procedure?
@@DeusExMachina50 Elective surgeries are not covered even in Canada. The only coverage will be when there is a complication and needs correction
Am so excited to do this surgery just the matter of time am still saving money atm. I will be the happiest person on earth if successfully done.
And I'll be just as happy for you! Wish you the best
How much are you looking to gain?
Thank you Cyborg! I’m Canadian and have a minor LLD that I want fixed but also desire CLL so this is a godsend interview for me! She’s a wonderful surgeon!
Then she's definitely a great choice - wish you the best!
Thanks for all your effort Victor,all this doctor's are amazing.Candains are really lucky that the government covers their nail removal and her package is amazing included with the physiotherapy wow,I love her especially because she is a women and is very intelligent and knows her work.💖💖💖💖
Thanks Sepo you're the best! Yes she is an amazing surgeon and a rare gem to find in this industry indeed!
I like that you are going into the technical/details of the process of post surgery procedures. I think patients can really benefit from having an advocate like you to consult with in order to make sure they are staying on top of all the moving parts and asking their doctors the right questions as well as keeping an eye out for anything that may be going wrong... all while receiving that psychological support from a therapist AND a consultant like yourself with experience. Awesome interview, btw!
Yeah quite a few people have mentioned that I appreciate the kind words!
As a Canadian, I didn't know was available here. Appreciate the video!
Yeah apparently she said she's the only one in Canada at the moment
@J S Yeah walker, crutches or wheelchair are all fine
Holy shit what a nice find buddy! I'm from Montreal, I've looked a few years ago and didn't find anything for LL in Canada. Was planning to go with Dr. Lee in S Korea but now I can do it in my hometown, amazing! The free nail removal is a sweet bonus and she seems super conscientious which is what I look for in professionals. Thanks and have a nice one mate!
Oh really that's awesome! Yeah you guys have an awesome healthcare system and getting the nail removal saves about 15-20k! Dr. Gdalevitch is highly qualified and experienced too. Like me, you got a A-list LL surgeon in your hometown!
How much it cost In Montreal with precise 2 nail not stryde nail
Thank you
@@nythennythen6672 You know I'm not exactly sure but I know it's usually 5-10k cheaper
Did you do it or consult with her?
Plz make a vid on arm lengthening!
I plan on it eventually
Hey Victor, amazing channel! Do you have any additional contact information? I've sent an email but haven't heard back. How long does it typically take? Thanks again, bro.
Hmm you know I'm not sure, I think they could be quite busy but I've heard they do get back within about 1-2 weeks at the most. Thanks for your support!
I’m
Just shocked that we don’t have a surgeon in Ontario that does this surgery
That will change in the very near future once these surgeons realize the money that can be made.
Bro ,,,its possible to done this surgery in both femur and tibia at the same time
Thanks god I have discovered your channel! This surgery is definitely my life’s goal now. I’m 5.5ft, from what I understood I can gain 8cm on my femur by only 1 surgery? Is that right?
Glad to have you apart of the community! Yup, you can potentially gain up to 8cm on the femur which is a tad over 3inches. It costs a lot and takes a lot work but it has been done
Good luck mate.
yo brother nice video as always. i wanna ask is it possible to add another 15cm to my height? how much is the maximum they can go on average? and will the process be different, riskier, or more painful if u decide to lengthen the maximum amount that u can possibly lengthen? thanks in advance!
Well yeah it'll depend on a lot of factors. The average is about 8cm femurs and 5cm tibias but there are unique cases where you can go slightly more on tibia maybe 6cm if surgeon and you see fit but it's all about observing along the way. Yes, the more length the more challenging the soft-tissue resistance
Hey I'm really short and I'm tired staying stuck at 5'5.. But at the same time I'm scared I will loose my running abilities because of the surgery and I don't want to. I'm only 16 years old and I can exceed to even 18mph and I never EVER trained or did anything for sprinting so I sometimes feel that I'm talented there... I don't want to loose even my 10% of my speed after the surgery.
Since you're 16 I'd say you have a chance to get taller without surgery
Take hgh ( human growth hormone) his will make you taller ( make sure your growth plates are still open by xray )
Also aromatase inhibitor ( drug )
This will prevent your growth plates form closing so you will grow for longer times ( for example you naturally stop growing till 18 by taking it your grow till you're 21 )
it's used by lots of body builders for other reasons and it's safe
Why do you want to run? lol
At the end of the day, you'll have way more benefits from being taller and run 15mph than being your current height and keep running at 18mph.
This is just your brain giving you excuses to sabotage the idea of getting this surgery. You're 16 and you said you never trained to track, so why do you care about running that fast?! It's not like even if you had the height to compete against professional runners you'd be able to, because they've been training since young age.
If you are really serious about become a professional runner stay focused on that goal and be proud of the gift god gave you. If you don't plan to be a professional and just do it for a hobby then maybe consider doing it. However you still have time to grow buddy. I am also 5"5 dude but I'm 33. If you get into bodybuilding this will boost your confidence substantially ;)
@@max8784 I heard that growth hormones have alot of health problems..
@@petrosmixides2843 long term
you're not taking it like body builders with huge amounts
It will also increase your speed by 5% but if you're competing in any sports you may get tested and suspended if you're on it
Can you do interviews with Dr halil buldu
Do I have to wear that apparatus throughout my recovering time? I mean for 8 or 10 months constantly?
Internal nails are usually kept in until about 1 year after. External fixators roughly about 6-8 months depending yes.
Hello again, Victor
This question isn’t relate to LL but I want to ask you since you are bodybuilder
1. I have fast metabolism. no matter how much I eat, I won’t gain weight. at first, I didn’t think about it but then I started to think so after people around me always said that my body temperature is very hot. do I have to eat more than other ?
2. How much calories should I take in order to gain weight ? My BMI is below average. also, I tends to get my stomach full after a few dish. any advice ?
3. Is it possible to build a muscle like you ? I’m not sure if my metabolism will burn all of the calories away before I can use those to build a muscle or not.
Having a great body like you is my dream, it’s look so damn great
Ha appreciate it bro. So yeah you might need to eat more it really depends I'd have to ask more details to tell you specifically. Usually with the clients I work with I go off of assessments like physique pictures to see body composition of fat to muscle, then how much they've been eating, what their goals are, how much cardio they're doing, their type of work, their favorite foods etc. Lots go into it. But to build muscle; enough food and enough protein, ample water and sleep...which I need more of lol
What is cost?
Did you work with Dr, Steven Kopits?
What are your opinions on bmp-7
As far as I understand if it's injected into the joints it can make the person grows even after the growth plates already closed
My knowledge about it is limited since I am not a native English speaker ( my English isn't that advanced ) and the studies are pretty confusing
Interesting. I'd have to delve into some research to learn more on how they would possibly regulate growth after growth plate closure.
well I am waiting an admission letter from mcgill unversity,,hopefully by the will of God I will be accepted and meet this angel. thanks
I just want to sit with you face to face one day :( I have a problem with my left that I don’t think anyone has it and I’ve been doing research on it for years
It’s shorter than my right leg about 9mm it’s also Way skinner on my calf and I know my nerves are damaged my question is ..since I live Canada will this be covered under OHIP ?
Perhaps the discrepancy has increased since you measured? Yeah if they see it as causing medical issues it could be covered by insurance which would be great
@@Cyborg4Life last time I took measurements 2019 it was 9mm .. in two weeks I get to X-rays and I hope so thank you so much and I am
Actually going to see dr.Marie since we don’t have any orthopedic surgeon in Ontario I will have to drive to
Montreal
I am worried about EMBOLISM. Brother, do you have any news about this complication ?
I mean it "could technically" happen but not likely if surgeon follows basic protocol
Oh wow. I typed in her name and here I am back to your channel 😂😂😂
Yeah. She’s a good surgeon, too. This is the one I’m going to get!
@@averyjudgementalsoldier8303 how much does she charge?
@@averyjudgementalsoldier8303 I’m gonna get both bones broken. It’s a long video. Hopefully it’s not too expensive
@@xierraleone1905 I believe it’s $85,000 for 1 surgery.
@@averyjudgementalsoldier8303 damn so that’s 170K for me. Got damn. I guess 5’7 to 6’1 will be worth it
This isn't for cosmetic right? We don't do that here in Canada
This was primarily referring to cosmetic. She does it Montreal.
how much in canada?
I believe it’s $85,000.
1 questions bro you are 5.9 now . You can even do another surgery to get more taller my height is 5.6 want to grow 5.9 Can I increase my height by 1 surgery only
Yes you should be able to get it done in one surgery. 8cm is 3 inches which would be what you're looking for
@@Cyborg4Life thanks bro
Cyborg, i have a question. Am 16, if i stretch religiously every day until the surgery time in 10 years or so until i become super flexible do you thank that will help alot?
Being flexible will help. Don’t know how flexible you have to be, though...
How much does this surgery cost??
It's $75,000 in the US.
Bro ..can you tell doctor from Japan
I'll keep my ears open and if I find quality surgeons from there I'll see what I can do
@@Cyborg4Life ok...post videos 😅😁
Do know any good doctor in Italy on this topic except Dr. Catagni?
Hmmm not as of yet. I have heard of a few in Spain but besides him not in Italy
@@Cyborg4Life Thank you. I have a "small" (compared to the cosmetics lenghtenings I usually see) lenght discrepancy between my legs, 1,1 centimeters. This has caused big problems to my body, muscle imbalances mainly but also with digestion (GERD syndrome), intestine activity, and more. I met Dr. Catagni but I was told to wear a lift of 1cm lifetime, an operation was unconceivable in my case. I'm wearing it for 1 year and a half now and I can say it's really ugly. You can't no more walk barefoot, many activities are excluded. For an active person like me (always played sports through all my life) it's an issue, psycological mainly but also in practice.
From what I read and hear about limb lenghtening surgeries, 1cm is really easy to obtain, without complications. I really don't understand.
@@GettinOuttaShit Yes you're absolutely right a 1cm discrepancy is often a very easy procedure but oftentimes not even performed as a shoe lift can help. But I understand what you mean because I had a discrepancy also and realize that even that small of a discrepancy is cause for some problems. Is it just 1cm or is it larger than that like 2cm or more?
I have a question bro. does insurance cover by Canadian government pr holder leg lengthening surgery how much cost
Not cosmetic lengthening only the removal of the nails
Sir I don't understand
Canadian leg lengthening surgery it's covered by insurance how much cost coverer insurance
@@pranaybutale9754 No just the removal of device
Just removal free
Would I lose my footwork after leg lengthening 5cm-6cm conservatively? I know I have to do physical therapy so how would that affect my footwork in something like boxing/mma and dancing? I know my muscles will be fine but do I lose the muscle memory and footwork?
There's always a possibility but no one will be anywhere close to full recovery until about 2 years and honestly closer to 3. It just takes time especially for internal tibial lengthening. But one thing I know is proper training programming can do wonders for maximizing recovery, strength, and ballistic explosiveness assuming you had no complications and didn't over lengthen. Footwork will be different but I like to think that building muscle strength to match new limb length can help you move limbs faster. Then balance training for finesse and tight movement patterns. I don't know...work ethic and time tells all. Wish I had a more definite answer for you
@@Cyborg4Life Thanks for trying to answer my question. Could you ask these questions in your next interview? I haven’t heard anyone else answer them.
Do you think 3 inches can be done in one go?
Yeah I think it's possible on the femur. 8cm has been achieved
Hey Victor what's the cost of whole lengthening in Canada.
moose and a half
@@GeneralGreevas lol
Its 85k for the surgery and 5k for the physiotherapy for a total package of 90k CAD
@@spikergaming869 is that only for the femur or both femur and tibia
@@adriandantedanosos4146 femur only
Can you please describe the best location or exact phone number of her to take appointment I checked her website but it’s complicated because so many addresses
Ah yeah she mentioned the cosmetic center is in Montreal and the other main hospital she does her other cases is at Verdun. I would email her patient coordinator, Myriam who will assist you with the best contact & location as she's on top of things
bro ask her how much it cost, didnt know there limb lengthening here in canada
75,000+
But you can get a couple loans.
I emailed a couple weeks ago and it's 85k CAD and 90K with the physiotherapy
@@spikergaming869 can you please ask her if she can make an ig? For some reason I can’t log onto my email.
@@spikergaming869 yes bro she get back to me too, lengthening for 2 legs cost around $180, 000..
@@skepo22 that's for quadrilateral lengthening on both femurs and tibias
Indian doctor plz
Yes
India is very cheap and if there is a good doctor with that price this would be amazing
I just emailed Dr. Parihar again yesterday as I've heard great things about him. We'll have to wait and see if I get a response
Can i know you IG?
@bigvicpro
What a quack
I am 5'1" and want to gain 5'8" is it possible and how much it will cost. Which doctor is best in the world. I am ready to invest any amount.
The doctors I interview are all solid picks but that's not conclusive as there are more out there in each country to reveal.
Dr dror paley is probably the best he is in the us one suregy costs around 200.,000, u want the full 5 inches and u get two surgeries that will be around 400,000+ but as cyborg said all of his picks r good
Just watch all the interviews with the doctors and I am sure you will find someone who is suitable for you and I wish you all the best💕
Cyborg, i have a question. Am 16, if i stretch religiously every day until the surgery time in 10 years or so until i become super flexible do you thank that will help alot?
Yeah that would definitely help but you may still get tight as your muscles can only get so flexible based on your current limb length. For example if you can palm the floor, great! But when you lengthen you will get tight again after a certain amount as the muscles couldn't stretch to that length prior.
But yes, flexibility will help you big time more than not being flexible
