About Center of Anthropometric
Founded in Volgograd in 1992 by the late Mikhail F. Yegorov, who is credited with adapting the Ilizarov method to purely cosmetic height increase, the Center of Anthropometric (Orthopedic) Cosmetology and Correction is an independent cosmetic orthopedic center with no affiliation to the Ilizarov center in Kurgan. Alexander Sergeyevich Barinov, PhD, Chief Physician and Orthopedic Surgeon, a Candidate of Medical Sciences with 90-plus publications and 10 patents, succeeded Yegorov. Methods confirmed are LON, LATN and Ilizarov; a computer-navigation technique developed in 2008 is used for alignment.
The clinic publishes a single price of $8,800. It states more than 800 cosmetic operations for patients from over 55 countries, self-reported figures.

The site runs in Russian, English, German and French, and the clinic also operates under the ortopedia.ru domain.

Legs don't hurt, look straight... scars closed and became almost invisible. Got the result I dreamed of.
After consultation all doubts disappeared... in May I had ideal legs. Not a bit sorry I ended up with this professional.
I finally decided on going to Dr. Alexander Barinov, RUSCOM (Volgograd, Russia). I picked him because heard he has done over 60 cosmetic leg [lengthenings].
