FITBONE® Cosmetic Leg Lengthening in Turkey

A German-Engineered Innovation for Safe and Precise Height Increase

The FITBONE® Intramedullary Lengthening System, designed and manufactured in Germany by WITTENSTEIN, represents one of the most advanced orthopedic technologies in the world. Unlike external fixators, which rely on bulky frames and painful daily adjustments, FITBONE® is a fully internal, motorized implant made of high-grade stainless steel.

Using a transcutaneous electronic controller (TEC), patients can lengthen their legs comfortably from home with just the press of a button. This method not only delivers highly accurate results but also significantly reduces the risk of complications, minimizes scarring, and provides a more comfortable recovery experience.

At Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions, we are proud to be Turkey’s top provider of the FITBONE® system. Patients from over 30+ countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Korea, UAE, and China, have chosen us for their life-changing height increase journey.

​

Why Turkey is a Leading Destination for FITBONE® Surgery

1. World-Class Medical Tourism Hub

Turkey is now one of the top 5 destinations for global medical tourism. With its strategic location between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkey combines world-class medical facilities with significantly lower costs than the U.S. or Western Europe. Every year, thousands of patients travel here for advanced procedures like cosmetic leg lengthening.

At Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions, we have seen a sharp rise in patients specifically requesting FITBONE®, thanks to its reputation for German precision and patient comfort.

​

2. Renowned Orthopedic Surgeons

Our lead surgeon, Dr. Fatih Arslanoglu, brings 20+ years of surgical experience and has personally performed over 1,000 successful limb lengthening surgeries. With a background in trauma, deformity correction, and reconstructive orthopedics, he is one of Turkey’s most respected experts in leg lengthening.

​

3. Affordable Excellence

While FITBONE® surgery can cost well above $100,000 in the U.S. or Europe, we provide the same surgery—using authentic German implants, luxury facilities, and comprehensive aftercare—for less than half that cost, with no compromise on quality or safety.

​

4. Complete Luxury Medical Experience

From the moment you arrive in Istanbul, every aspect of your journey is taken care of:

• VIP airport pick-up

• 4–5 star hotel stay with breakfast included

• All pre-op testing and imaging

• Surgery and hospital care

• Daily physiotherapy sessions

• 24/7 nursing support

• Translation services in multiple languages

​

What is the FITBONE® System?

The FITBONE® nail is a fully implantable intramedullary lengthening device made of high-strength stainless steel. Once inserted into the femur or tibia, the nail gradually lengthens using a motorized system powered by an external transcutaneous controller (TEC).

The TEC communicates wirelessly with the implant via radiofrequency signals. With each daily session, the bone is lengthened in small, controlled increments until the target height is achieved.

​
