​Precice Leg Lengthening Surgery in Turkey
Precice leg lengthening is a state-of-the-art orthopedic procedure designed to increase a person’s height by gradually and safely lengthening the bones of the legs. Developed by NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, the Precice system represents a major leap forward in limb lengthening technology. It replaces outdated external fixation methods with a magnetically controlled internal nail that provides an unprecedented level of comfort, precision, and safety.

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on bulky external frames and painful daily adjustments, the Precice method allows patients to control their own lengthening process from home using an external remote controller (ERC). The result? More accurate outcomes, minimal scarring, lower infection risk, and a smoother overall experience.
At Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions, we are proud to be Turkey’s top provider of Precice leg lengthening. Our internationally recognized team, modern facilities, and comprehensive care package make us the preferred choice for patients from over 30 countries.
​
Why Turkey is a Leading Destination for Precice Surgery
​
1. Global Center for Medical Tourism
Turkey has rapidly evolved into one of the world's top destinations for medical tourism. Boasting a strategic location between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the country offers cutting-edge medical care at a fraction of the cost of the U.S. or Western Europe.
Every year, thousands of patients travel to Turkey for specialized procedures, and Precice leg lengthening is among the most sought-after. At Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions, we’ve seen exponential growth in interest from patients in the U.S., U.K., Canada, UAE, South Korea, and China.
​
2. Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeons
Our lead surgeon, Dr. Fatih Arslanoglu, has over 20 years of experience and more than 1,000 successful leg lengthening surgeries. With a background in trauma, deformity correction, and orthopedic surgery, he is one of Turkey’s most respected figures in limb lengthening.
​
3. Affordable Excellence
While the Precice surgery can cost upwards of $100,000 in the U.S. or Europe, the same procedure with us—including surgeon fees, hospital stay, implants, accommodation, physiotherapy, and follow-up—is available at a much lower rate without sacrificing quality.
​
4. Luxury Medical Experience
We combine medical expertise with five-star hospitality. From airport pick-up to your return flight home, every detail is arranged to make your experience safe, smooth, and stress-free.
​
What is the Precice System?
The Precice nail is a revolutionary, magnetically controlled intramedullary nail made from titanium. Once inserted into the bone (femur or tibia), it allows controlled lengthening using an external remote control that generates a magnetic field.
​
Key Benefits:
-
Fully internal system: No visible hardware
-
Precise control of distraction speed and amount
-
High biocompatibility and safety profile
-
Remote operation, usually done at home
-
Significantly reduced risk of infection
-
Allows for bilateral simultaneous procedures
The Precice system has undergone several evolutions, including Precice 1, Precice 2, and Precice Max. At Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions, we use the most advanced version based on each patient’s eligibility and medical needs. Currently Precice 2.2 version is used. Precice Max expected to be used soon.

​
The Precice Leg Lengthening Process: Full Timeline
​
Step 1: Online Evaluation & Consultation
After reaching out, our medical team reviews your X-rays and health history. We explain the procedure in detail, discuss your height goals, and confirm eligibility.
​
Step 2: Arrival in Turkey
Upon arrival in Istanbul, our team picks you up at the airport and brings you to your hotel. Your accommodation will be arraged according to package you will choose. If you do your payment in cash you will get 2 nights free hotel stay in our hotel.
​
Step 3: Preoperative Testing
You undergo full bloodwork, lung scans, heart EKG, full-body X-rays, and mechanical axis planning. This ensures a safe and personalized surgical approach. We will calculate if you have any misalignment and surgery will be performed accordingly.
​
Step 4: Surgery
Under general anesthesia, the Precice nail is inserted through a small incision into your femur or tibia. We drill multiple micro-holes to safely release pressure, reduce embolism risk, and harvest bone marrow for stem cell application.
​
Step 5: Early Recovery (Hospital Stay)
You’ll remain in our partner hospital for 4 Night 5 days. Our nurses and surgeons monitor you 24/7, manage pain, and help you begin gentle movement as of next day of surgery to prevent DVT.
​
Step 6: Lengthening Phase (Distraction)
You’ll return to your hotel and start using the External Remote Controller (ERC) to gradually lengthen the bone by 1 mm/day Femur or 0.75mm/day Tibia. You’ll also receive daily physical therapy, and bi-weekly X-rays.
​
Step 7: Consolidation Phase (Bone Hardening)
Once your desired height is achieved, the ERC is stopped. The new bone begins to mineralize and harden. You’ll slowly transition to full weight-bearing.
​
Step 8: Return Home
You can safely return home after 12 weeks post-op. We provide a detailed discharge report and coordinate with your local doctors, and request X-rays every 3–4 weeks.
​
Step 9: Nail Removal
The titanium nail is removed 12–18 months later through a minor outpatient surgery, either in Turkey or in your home country.
​

With a walker: 2–4 weeks after surgery. Without support: 3–6 months depending on healing rate and length gained.
​
How visible are the scars?
Very minimal. Precice involves small incisions (~1–2 cm). Most fade significantly within 12 months.
Will insurance cover it?
Cosmetic lengthening is rarely covered. However, we provide full documentation for possible reimbursement in case of deformity or limb discrepancy.
