Silicone implants in feets (LL 2-4cm)

[Kidrobot]

pics, how much did you increase, does the sensation in your feet feel different, is your balance walking off, how much did it cost??

[bellazio]

I've got no pics. Anyway I can't see any difference in my feet after.
After a week of pain ( from 1 to 10 I mean 7) I removed my bandages.
Walking and feeling the floor is almost the same.
I use to go running every day and I feel it pretty normal.
Real height increase is a bit more than 1 cm.
It cost me for both fetes € 2400.
I'm going for a second session.
If you have any other questions you can ask me.

[Kidrobot]

no offence, but I think I'll pass for i cm or even 2 cm

[bellazio]

I don't understand. Can you explain me?

[groove311]

For 2.5cm, how many sessions do you need total?

I calculate that you would need 3-4 sessions, am I right?

So the cost would be close to 10k euros if you have to buy the airplane ticket
and you would need to stay in spain for 1-2 months because between the sessions
there has to be time to heal.

Bellazio, you seem happy and satisfied with the results, but is it possible to be at least 1 inch taller with this? Will it require paying  another 2400 E for the additional session or do they just normally break it down into two or three seperate treatments?  I agree with Kidrobot 1cm is not enough to satisfy us short people.

As from my e-mail conversation with the doctor she said each session costs 2400 euro, then u wait 2-3 weeks to heal
then do another session and so forth. If you want at least an inch, say 3cm, then I think u need 3 sessions
which will be 2400 x 3 and 2-3 months in spain cos u have to rent an apartment or something to stay there
while the wounds heal.

each session can give u 1 cm or slightly more i dunno, for each session u pay 2400 euro.
for another session u need to wait 2-3 weeks i think she said to heal then u can do another session for 1 more cm,
then wait 2-3 week and do another session and pay 2400 again.

1 seeion session take 2-3 week to heal pay 2400
2nd session pay 2400 again and wait 2-3 week to heal
3rd session pay 2400 again and wait 2-3 week to heal
4th session pay 2400 again and wait 2-3 week to healz

if i'm wrong can correct me

It seems to be some confusion on this argument.
First my opinion is that LL is the best and effective solution for changing one's life. I went to Giuchet and Betz, and I'm not doing LL now ONLY because in my job can't stay out of the field for 3 months at least....I'll find the time!!!
I consider this simple procedure as little BOOST that can give you appreciable results in 2-3 sections, I'm not very enthusiast about this, just reporting you.
In my  experience i got exactly 1.25cm
i took a low cost ticket for € 250
You can walk normally after 3 days with pain
You don't need to stay there, doctor told me that most of people come and go home the same day.
I'll book an other section and i wish i can reach 2.5 cm. (you have to wait 30d)
Than for 2.5 cm my total expense will be € 4800 (2 sections) + 500 (ticket) + 100 (taxi)
I don't want to encourage anyone because i don't know long term effects and body reaction is very personal. ( to me if you  got time and money, go for LL)

O I C. Thank you for clarifying that more for me. Did they happen to provide info on where on the soles these injections go?

What area of your foot are you focusing theses injections; the heel, ball of foot or how exactly do they do this? 

I want to mention that I don't think we will  be able to gauge the full benefit from this until you've complerted all the sessions - 1.25cm taller for you  is such a minute amount that there is really no way to determine if that 1.25cm came from the actual filler treatment.

I definately look foward to knowing more how this works out for you. Crossing my fingers it's successful and there is a true height gain.
 Thanks for the info.

[Without Judgment]

I don't know why, but this is something that I would never be able to fully trust  :-\

I get the impression that this would have the same effect as wearing lifts all day.  Essentially, a ton of back pain. 

[Bulldozer]

The question of how much for flat feet vs normal feet is in my mind as well. 

[luffy]

bellazio please post some pictures of your feet. I really curious to see how it looks. I'm doing LL right now and almost reach 2 cm and I can see a different already with 2 cm when I stand up. So 2.5 cm will make a different.

[chlor]

Hey bellazio,

Can you tell us if you're having to wear special, custom made shoes after the treatment?  Can you still wear shoes with heals/lifts after this?

Also, even though you only got 1.25cm, do you feel any noticeable effect yourself?  Do you FEEL, or SEE things any differently? 

Thanks for the courage for getting this and sharing the experience with us.

[bellazio]

1.25 cm is not much, is like the height difference between morning and night, I hope I can see a real difference in sept with 2.5 cm.
I feel a little back pain but I dunno if it is due to this , I use to have it often.
I can wear every shoes, classic and sporty but  the shoes fitting is different. I mean I feel the shoes lower on my heel and with adidas this cause me a little abrasion.
As for the injections:
Doctor perform 1 injection of anesthetic and 1 of bioalcamid per foot (4 total ).
The entry point it just below the calcaneus. It goes under derma and allocate Hyaluronic.
Please send me a Pm and tell me how to post pics

Hello i'm from Italy i was in Spain last year and i knew about this treatment at that time. . . . sorry for my english not perfect. . . whetever. . . to be quick. . i sended an email to doctora Barba about in February to be scheduled. . . she repilied she was so busy so i had to wait. . . i asked also for more informations but she didn't give to me. . . at the end belive or not after these email exchange i was able to be scheduled 3 month later my first email. I called ones but i had no reply. . . in real there is a kind of discussion in Spain sameone says doctora barba hasn't even a degree in plastic surgery. . whetever. . it is not the point. . I never went because i heared same bad stories related to silicone implant even of the death of sameone. For sure i don't want to scare anyone and i thing the treatment is very easy and possibly safe but at that moment i was a little scared:). . for sure doctora barba didn't give to me a great impression. . . i generally had quick answers.
I wanted to have Macrolane because bio-alcamid is not very safe and there are many bad reports about that. . . in Italy you have to sign a paper to have bio-alcamid where it say it a "sperimental treatment with many people satisfiad. . . . many not at all". . . so you have to accept the risk. . . . also in usa bio-alcamid i suppose is not fda approved. So at the end i suppose Macrolane is a better choice. About the 1 50 cm or 2 cm for me it would be perfet. . it makes so much difference. . i'm tall 1: 74 1/2 in the morning and usually i wear 1/2 cm insoles in shoes that makes the difference. . . so you can imagine 1 30 or 2 cm. I suppose later in time i will ask again to be scheduled to have performed the treatment.
Just a curiosity. . . . . hace a look to this link. . it looks intresting also:)
hxxp: books. google. it/books?id=Pe0DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=silicone+implants+in+heels+height+increase+newspaper&source=bl&ots=YLO3ZDJ0fe&sig=9tKrTZTm5WgSf8AKCv8B23kr4Bk&hl=it&ei=QvdATs6NM8uXOtW50aMJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false
whetever. . . . . . . . . bellazio good luck for everithing and pls let us see same pics considering at the times i asked to doctor barda and she replied just she had no pics because there is not noticiable difference between past and after the treatment. . . . publishing the images on imageshack is a good idea then:)

So bic,

are you going to have the treatment done or not?  When are you scheduled for?

[SysOp]

Great link Bic. The photos that purport to be the heel implants of the guy from the article almost look reasonable. Interesting, although that's not exactly the most reliable news source in the world.
