Limb Lengthening in Turkey vs Your Home Country: How to Compare
Short answer
To compare a Turkey package with a quote at home, compare what is included, not just the headline price: the implant and method, hospital nights, physiotherapy, X-rays, medication, accommodation for about 3 months, transfers, follow-up and nail removal. Our packages start at USD 26,000 (LON, without hotel), and the price is the same whether you gain 1 cm or 8 cm.
Step 1: compare the same method
LON, PRECICE and FITBONE have very different costs. Make sure both quotes are for the same method and implant. See LON vs PRECICE and PRECICE vs FITBONE.
Step 2: list what is included
• Surgery, surgeon and anaesthesia.
• The implant (nail) itself.
• Hospital nights (ours: 4 nights / 5 days).
• Physiotherapy during lengthening (ours: 6 days a week, 1 hour, onsite).
• X-rays, blood tests, medication and wound care (included in ours).
• Complication insurance (ours: free mandatory complication insurance).
• Accommodation for about 3 months (ours: 90 nights at the Four Points by Sheraton in hotel packages).
• Transfers and a wheelchair (included in ours).
• Follow-up after you go home (ours: free, unlimited remote physiotherapy follow-up).
Step 3: add the costs that are often missing
• Physiotherapy sessions after discharge, which can be needed for months.
• Accommodation if you live far from the hospital.
• Nail removal 8 to 18 months later.
• Time off work.
Our prices (one segment)
• LON: USD 26,000 / USD 38,000 with hotel.
• FITBONE: USD 50,000 / USD 62,000 with hotel.
• PRECICE 2.2: USD 56,000 / USD 68,000 with hotel.
• Quadrilateral: USD 76,000 to 124,000.

Step 4: compare experience and safety
Ask both clinics how many lengthening surgeries they have performed, who operates, which hospital they use and what happens if there is a complication. See questions to ask your surgeon and Is Turkey safe?.
Questions to ask your home-country clinic
• Which implant is used, and is it the same as in the Turkey quote?
• How many nights in hospital are included?
• How many physiotherapy sessions are included, and who pays for the rest?
• How often are X-rays done during lengthening, and are they included?
• Is nail removal included, and what does it cost?
• What happens and who pays if there is a complication?
Advantages of treatment at home
Treatment close to home means less travel and the support of family and friends nearby, and follow-up visits are easier. For some patients these advantages matter more than the price.
Advantages of a package in Istanbul
A package bundles surgery, hospital, daily physiotherapy, X-rays, medication, transfers and, in hotel packages, accommodation, in one fixed price per method. During about 3 months your whole day is organized around recovery, and after you go home remote physiotherapy follow-up is free and unlimited.
Follow-up at home
After you return, our team follows you remotely. Nail removal can be done in your home country if you prefer, 8 to 18 months after surgery. See remote follow-up and nail removal.
Check the details of each quote
Two quotes for the same method can look very different once you list everything that is included. Write both quotes in two columns with the same lines: implant, hospital nights, physiotherapy, X-rays, medication, accommodation, transfers, complication cover, follow-up and nail removal. Then add your own costs such as flights and time off work. The comparison usually becomes much clearer.
Experience matters as much as price
Whichever clinic you choose, ask how many lengthening surgeries the team has performed and who will operate. Our clinic has performed 1,000+ limb lengthening surgeries, and the surgery is performed by Op. Dr. Fatih Arslanoğlu.
