Dr. Alexander Barinov, RUSCOM (Volgograd, Russia) - 2012
Update
on: December 27, 2011, 10:00:33 AM
Here are the responses from Dr. Barinov, updating their information with
2012 pricing and details.
1. How many patients have been treated by you for Cosmetic Leg
Lengthening?
Over 60 cosmetic leg lengthening (with height more than 150 cm) and over
200 operations for leg lengthening for medical reasons.
2. Which techniques do you use?
In most cases external Ilizarov frames and his technique are used. In some
cases we use apparatuses of different designs. As an exception lengthening
over nails (LON) is applied. The method to be used depends on many factors
and is very individual taking into consideration specific needs of the patient.
3. How much do you your currently charge for cosmetic LL for each
procedure? When will these prices change?
For the year 2012 the price of LL on the lower leg is 12,500 euros which
includes surgery and 3 months' stay in the clinic in a two-bed ward. After 3
months there are several options for a patient:
a) he/she may stay in hospital till the end of treatment paying 1,000 euros
for each extra month spent in hospital;
b) he/she may rent an apartment till the frames are taken off;
c) he/she may go to a spa in Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic where the
frames will be removed (in this case the price is 20,000 euros);
d) he/she may go home for the period of bone consolidation and come back
to remove the frames.
In 2012 we start performing surgery on the upper leg using LON technique.
The package price of this surgery is 30,000 euros.

4. What are the lengthening limits for your procedures?
Commonly, lengthening which does not interfere with proportion between
shinbones and thighs is 5-7 cm (2" -3"). Besides, lengthening within this limit
is much safer. The maximum lengthening in our Center for cosmetic reasons
was 10 cm. Apart from purely esthetic reasons, the maximum lengthening is
limited by individual stretching capabilities of soft tissues, as well as
regenerative capability of the bone tissue. Lengthening of the femurs is
possible only by 5 cm.
5. Do your patients need to do any preparation before for their
treatment?
Usually no special preparations are needed. Nevertheless, patients must be
physically healthy. Prior to surgery patients undergo general medical
examination, ECG, radiography, they have blood and urine tests done.
Examination may as well be done before the patient comes to the clinic.
6. Is accommodation included in your pricing?
The price as shown in answer 3 is a package price.
7. Are there any medical conditions that would prevent a potential
patient from being accepted?
Absolute contraindications are acute and infectious diseases, exacerbation of
chronic diseases, chronic diseases with decompensation of inner organs,
some skin diseases and psychiatric conditions.
8. In what percentage of cases do your patients experience
complications?
Patients experience some complications in less than 5% of my patients. In all
cases of complications timely treatment is carried out.
9. Are complications or unscheduled surgery covered in your costs?
We do not charge anything for treating complications arising in course of
treatment, unless these complications are due to the patient's violation of
rules of treatment and medical advice.
10. Is there any insurance available to cover the patient's treatment?
No. Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance.
11. What is your official web-site?
http://www.rucosm.com
12. How much do you charge for a consultation?
100 euros
13. What is the best way for potential patients to contact you?
Our e-mail: info3@rucosm.com
Phone: +007 988 022 19 26
14. Do you limit your services to people of a certain height?
No.
15. What is your policy for people who are suffering from depression
or some other mental health issue, or have suffered from it in the
past?
In case of any suspicion about a psychiatric condition a psychiatrist should
give his written advice whether it is possible for a patient to undergo a
long-term treatment.
