About Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions
Lengthening Turkey is a surgeon-led limb lengthening clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, operating since 2014 and led by Op. Dr. Fatih Arslanoğlu, Assistant Professor of Orthopedics and Traumatology. We are a medical clinic, not an agency or medical-tourism facilitator, and we do not refer patients to other clinics. Our company, Lengthening Turkey Healthcare Solutions, holds Health Tourism Authorization Certificate No. ST-091 from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, and "Lengthening Turkey" is our registered trademark (No. 2022 021498). Limb lengthening is our core specialty, and we've built our entire team, facilities, and process around doing it well.
Our Track Record
Since 2010, our lead surgeon has performed more than 1,000 limb lengthening surgeries, alongside thousands of related orthopedic procedures. We've guided patients from over 30 countries — including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, UAE, South Korea, Japan, and China — through the full process, from first consultation to full recovery.
Where Your Surgery Takes Place
Surgeries are performed at BHT Clinic İstanbul Tema Hastanesi (BHT Clinic Istanbul Tema Hospital), a JCI-accredited, A++ rated private hospital with over 100 beds, 6 high-tech operating rooms, and 30 ICU rooms. Our clinic operates inside this hospital because limb lengthening is a major surgery that requires high-end hospitalization to minimize complications and support proper post-operative care.
Our Team
Our surgical team is led by Op. Dr. Fatih Arslanoğlu, Assistant Professor and orthopedics and traumatology specialist trained at Istanbul University's Faculty of Medicine, with published research in international peer-reviewed orthopedic journals. Our team has more than 15 years of surgical experience.
Recovery support is led by our in-house physical therapy team, including Suna Gedik, a physical therapist with over five years of experience in orthopedic rehabilitation who specializes specifically in post-surgical limb lengthening recovery.
