Height Lengthening Surgery in Turkey
Increase your height with advanced limb lengthening surgery using state-of-the-art orthopedic techniques.
What is Height Lengthening Surgery?
Height lengthening surgery (limb lengthening) is a complex orthopedic procedure that gradually lengthens bones to increase height. The procedure involves cutting the bone and using specialized devices to slowly separate the bone segments, allowing new bone to grow in the gap.
The Lengthening Process
The process involves three phases: surgery to place the lengthening device, a lengthening phase where the device is adjusted daily to gradually separate the bone (typically 1mm per day), and a consolidation phase where the new bone hardens. The entire process can take 6-12 months or longer.
Who is a Candidate?
Height lengthening surgery is typically performed on adults who have completed bone growth. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and understand the lengthy recovery process. The procedure can increase height by several inches, typically 2-6 inches depending on the technique used.
