Limb Lengthening Surgery In Turkey

What is Limb Lengthening Surgery?

Limb lengthening surgery is a medical procedure designed to increase a person's height by gradually separating the bones of the legs (either femur or tibia) and allowing new bone tissue to grow in the gap. The process is facilitated using highly specialized devices that control the rate and direction of bone growth with millimeter precision.

This procedure, once reserved for people with leg deformities or discrepancies, has now evolved to include individuals pursuing cosmetic height increase. Whether you're 160 cm or 175 cm, we have successfully helped patients achieve height gains ranging from 5 cm to over 13 cm.

​

We are not a general hospital offering dozens of unrelated services. We specialize exclusively in cosmetic limb lengthening surgery — and we’re proud of it.

Located in a modern private hospital in Istanbul, our facility is equipped with the latest surgical technologies and offers a boutique, patient-centered approach. We perform both the LON method (Lengthening Over Nail) and the fully internal PRECICE 2 system, depending on your preference and budget.

Our Techniques

LON Method (Lengthening Over Nail)

• External + internal fixator combo

• More affordable (starting from $36,000)

• Up to 8 cm femur or tibia

• Visible external fixator for the distraction phase

​

PRECICE 2 Method

• Fully internal, no visible fixators

• Magnetic-controlled motorized nail

• Premium pricing (starting from $54,000)

• Ideal for patients prioritizing comfort and aesthetics

We also offer quadrilateral lengthening (femur + tibia) for patients seeking maximum gain (up to 14 cm).

​

Who Can Benefit From This Surgery?

You're a good candidate if:

• You're over 18 and have fully developed bones

• You're in good overall health (controlled diabetes or mild conditions are okay)

• You’re mentally prepared for a 6-12 month journey

• You're seeking a boost in self-confidence, career impact, or life satisfaction

Many of our patients are men and women aged 20–45, including:

• Entrepreneurs

Step 3: Arrival & Pre-Op Tests

Our driver picks you up from the airport. We do full blood tests, ECG, X-rays, and physical assessments before greenlighting your surgery.

​

Step 4: Surgery Day

Under general anesthesia, we insert the devices (LON or PRECICE). You stay 3–5 days in the hospital.

Step 5: Lengthening Phase

You begin lengthening at a rate of ~1 mm per day. This takes 60–80 days to complete.

Step 6: Recovery & Return

Bone consolidation takes 4–6 months. With regular physiotherapy and follow-up X-rays, you regain full walking ability. Most patients return home within 3–4 months, continuing recovery remotely.

​

Step 7: Final Result

Once consolidation is confirmed, the internal nails can be removed optionally. You will walk, run, and move as if no surgery was ever done — just taller.

Safety, Pain, and Complications

We’re honest with every patient: limb lengthening is challenging. You will feel pain — but it's manageable. We use:

• Strong painkillers and nerve blockers

• 24/7 nurse care post-op

• Regular X-rays to monitor alignment

• Mechanical axis evaluation to prevent deformities

Risks include infection, delayed healing, nerve irritation, and non-union. These are rare but taken seriously. We offer optional stem cell injections and bone grafting if needed.

​

Pricing and Packages

We offer transparent, fixed packages. No hidden costs.
