Lengthening Options and Packages:
2 Nights Pre-Surgery at our hotel is complimentary from us to all of our patients.

LON Method
LON is a combination of both Titanium intramedullary rods and external devices.
It is a mechanical system. You will use an allen wrench to lengthen your height from fixators next to your legs.

PRECICE Method
PRECICE is most advance system currently and it is fully internal. It means there will be no device around your legs.
Almost zero infection risk. Less painful. Much more comfortable because there will be no open wounds. It is not weightbearing.
You can stand and you can walk with help of walker but you are not allowed to walk without assistance for 6 months due to bend/break risk.

Both LON and PRECICE methods are most commonly used and reliable systems in the world for limb lengthening surgery. Compare to PRECICE and LON, of course if your budget allows, PRECICE is better and more comfortable. LON allows early weightbearing but it does not mean that everyone can walk without assistance right away. Usually, it takes around 4-5 months to walk unassisted again for a patient who lengthened 8cm with LON Method. PRECICE also allows unassisted 6 months after surgery. That is why healing time frames actually similar in both methods. You must choose according to your budget and what kind of healing phase you want to have. PRECICE comfortable but pricy, LON discomfortable but costs lower.

We have 3 different package types for single surgery:
  • 17 Days
  • Hotel Included
  • Hotel Excluded
17 Days package is prepared for people who can not stay long periods away because of work or family. You will return to your country and continue lengthening there. You will have to do your own physical therapy exercises and send us follow up xrays every 15-20 days. But when you finish lengthening you have to come back for fixator removal or bring back the remote control unit.

If you need financing, you will need to obtain this privately on your own to be paid in full prior to surgery.

Why you should choose us?

We are the most Professional Limb Lengthening company in Turkey with Full Mechanical Axis evaluation before and after surgery. All the patients from all over the world who wish to have this surgery wants to be taller but it is surgeon's ethical duty to provide this surgery as natural as possible to the patient, so the patient can return to his daily life as like before after healing period. Every orthopedic surgeon can perform this surgery but as you can imagine there is huge difference between experienced and inexperienced surgeons. If your surgeon do not pay attention to the mechanical axis during implantation of intramedullary nails, lengthening it self will cause Varus (bowlegs) or Valgus (KnockKnees). We use trigonometric formulas to calculate the predicted change, using the lengths of the tibia, femur, whole limb, the amount of lengthening and the angle between the anatomic and the mechanical axis of the femur.

Also we are the only company that offers Lengthening Guarantee to it's patients during lengthening period because normally complication treatments are not covered anywhere in the world. Our patients can take their surgical decisions with peace of mind without thinking if they will do additional payments for the treatments of the complications.
All surgery related tests, examinations, consultations and procedures are included in our packages. No hidden costs or extras.
Treatments of the complications may occur related to your surgery will be done for free by us; for example infection, embolism, noneunion or fracture of the bone.

Most Asked Questions:

What are the main risks and potential complications that can occur?
The patient must know this, there is no 100% risk free surgery in the world. Some of the risks; Surgical, Anesthesia, Blood clot (embolism), Infection, Joint stiffness, Circulation disorders or pain due to nerve tension. These symptoms may happen in very low
percentages but patient must know it before making a decision about getting this surgery. If patient had LON Method surgery; tiny infections on the exhausts of the nails may seen but it is easily treatable without causing serious problems with clean dressings and if needed oral antibiotics. We never observed any infection in Precice 2.2.

How fat embolism occurs and how do we prevent it from happening?
During limb lengthening surgery reaming of the bone to place intramedullary nail leads to increased pressure in the bone which causes the fat in the bone marrow to be displaced to corners of the bone. Some of it is pushed into the blood circulation during installation of the nail. When this fat gets filtered by the lungs it is called a fat embolism. Small amounts of fat are well tolerated
by the lungs and lead to no symptoms. Larger amounts can lead to shortness of breath and lower oxygenation.
We have a special surgical technique that prevents this from happening and increase healing in the osteotomy area. What we do with simple words is; we open several holes on the bone before reaming, this allows all these fats inside the bonemarrow flow thru these holes to a single point during bone reaming. We take this gathered bone fats and turn them in to stem cells and apply them to the osteotomy area just before finishing surgery. This method allows us to lower the fat embolism risk dramatically and increase healing in the osteotomy area at the same time.

When will I have x-rays done?
Starting from limb lengthening starting date every two weeks. Our Mobile X-ray staff and Mobile X-ray Device will be brought to your room to take your X-rays. From these X-rays we will check your progress and healing, so according to your healing speed, we may order you to decrease or increase the limb lengthening speed to prevent early union or noneunion of your bones. If the
patient goes back to his/her country during limb lengthening period, he/she must send us X-rays for follow up every 15 days.

Can I get back my pre-surgery health?
Limb lengthening procedure may take some time, but eventually you can get back your pre-surgery health and do sports that you want. For many sports types, you may have to wait up to 1 year after recovery. The key is to be patient, stick to the instructions of your doctor, do your exercises with determination and care about your overall health.

How are the scars after surgery?
We use a minimally invasive method to put the limb lengthening device into the bones. A 1 to 1.5cm incision is made at the hip area, and 4 or 5 less than one cm incisions are made on the side of the thigh. These scars are so small they are not very noticeable. Most look no bigger than a mosquito bite. For the tibia there are more incisions. The incision to cut is about 1 cm long. The nail insertion incision is again 1 to 1.5cm long and the rest of the incisions all less than one cm.

What can I do to prepare for surgery?

As Physical preparation: Stretching exercises may help.
For femur limb lengthening:
1) iliotibial band; lie on your side, extend your hip so your thigh is in line with your body and flex your knee. In that position, try and bring the flexed knee towards the ground. Also, you can do cross-leg stretches with the hip straight. These stretch the IT band.
2) Quadriceps and especially the rectus femoris muscle (bend knee with straightening of hip at the same time. Can be done standing while pulling foot behind butt and leaning back or kneeling with leaning back).
3) Hamstrings: knee straightening while flexing hip.
For tibial limb lengthening: Achilles tendon: heel cord; maximum dorsiflexion (foot up) with full knee extension (straight).

Most importantly stop smoking and exposure to second hand smoke.

Which method do we recommend?
Both LON and PRECICE methods are most commonly used and reliable. Both methods has positive and negative sides.
Patient must choose one method according to what he/she want from this surgery and how he/she want. LON costs lower but external devices are disturbing, PRECICE is fully internal but costly and not weightbearing.

Hi, guys...

I could read above to dr. Faith presentation that "He has performed more than 500 Limb lengthening surgeries since 2010"
and, in his website its saying: "He has performed more than 1000 Limb lengthening surgeries since 2010" !
Between 500 and 1000 since 2010... its a "bit" of difference !
So, this is a stupid joke, or a mistake ?... It result he did 500 LL (half of his totally LL)... only in the last year !!

So, I think they are playing with these numbers because nobody can verify the real number  anyways...

And, second problem... why I cannot find here any comment or experience, at least from ONE of those "1000" cases of LL, that has been done by this doctor ?!?

It's not a strange thing, what do you think guys ?

Yeah you are right not many experiences about them because it seems they do not promote them selves with fake diaries as like others do. No idea if it helps but here are the diaries about them i found here.

I had Lon femur legs lengthened with Dr Fatih Arslanoglu from Lengthening Turkey Height Solution, other doctors are the assistant. I stayed in Four point Sheraton hotel, Dull and the foods are less appetites. On the first surgery my whole front upper legs were serious Bruised and I had pain in the evening before I slept, its been a few weeks and I didn’t have the doubts of the Doctor. The experience I had in the hospital began to doubts about them, the nurse put needles into my skin a few times and caused bleeding and bruised  then she disappeared, others nurses created a lot of noises in the midnights also.
The Doctor created two extra scars on my sides hips areas and next to fixator areas,other long scar with stripes lines and the scars on the fixator areas a lot bigger than the actual one.

We all want less scars and the Doctor can be trusted !

Thats why is better and safer to do Precice on both, lower and upper !!
The scars, infections and pain are MUCH lower...
Anyways, if the doctor is good and the rest are not... is great !.... Because it can be viceversa... and that could be a drama !!
