Welcome to Lengthening Turkey Height Solutions

Unlock New Heights with Advanced Limb Lengthening Surgery

Most people who write to us start with the same two questions: how much taller can I safely get, and what will the months after surgery be like? We are a limb lengthening clinic in Istanbul, and we begin by answering both honestly.

​

Our Experience in Limb Lengthening Surgery

Our surgical team brings more than 15 years of experience, and our lead surgeon has performed 1,000+ limb lengthening surgeries. Most of our patients come for a cosmetic height increase; others come to correct a difference in leg length. In both cases, the plan is built on your examination and X-rays.

​

How We Plan Your Surgery

We offer LON, PRECICE, FITBONE and quadrilateral lengthening. Which one suits you depends on your bones, your goal, the kind of recovery you want and your budget. We go through the trade-offs of each with you before you decide. The package price depends on the method and is the same whether you gain 1 cm or 8 cm.

​

Meet Our Limb Lengthening Surgeon

​

Talk to Us Before You Decide

Send us your height, your goal and, if you have them, your X-rays. We reply with the methods that suit you, the package price for each and a realistic timeline. This first consultation is free.

​

You can reach us on WhatsApp or by email with any question about limb lengthening surgery.

How to increase height?

Cosmetic limb lengthening is with simple terms; guiding human bone regeneration with controlled intramedullary nails or external devices to the desired amount. When we create a gap between bones on the osteotomy area(where we cut the bone) distraction osteogenesis starts right away. It's basically human body's reaction to heal the wounded area via formation of new bone and soft tissues.

​

According to studies there is no permanent side effects in long term if patient stays with in the safe limits.

​

These are: 

  • Femur bones up to 8cm (Upper Legs)

  • Tibia bones up to 6cm (Lower Legs)

​

  • Humerus bones up to 6cm (Upper Arm Lengthening)

​

Lengthening starts a week after surgery as 1mm per day in femur and 0.75mm per day in tibia.
