Some tips on picking the right leg lengthening surgeon include ensuring that they keep the patient’s safety first, have a record of previous successful surgeries, and are active in following up with patients and providing after-care.
Potential patients can find scholarly articles by most surgeons online, proving their credentials and activity within the orthopedic community. Potential patients can also look up surgeons on YouTube, blogs, and communities such as the Limb Lengthening Forum, where many patients post their leg lengthening diaries with various doctors.
Lastly, potential patients should look at their own funds, location, and mindset to determine which surgeon they should go to, but keep in mind that choosing the wrong surgeon based solely on a smaller price tag may add significantly to complications and recovery time.
