THE PROCEDURE

What is limb lengthening surgery?

Height is gained through distraction osteogenesis: the bone is surgically cut, then gradually extended by about 1 mm per day while your body builds new bone tissue in the gap. Fully internal systems (Precice 2, Fitbone) or the hybrid LON method can be used — the principle is the same.

Honest expectations: a single surgery adds up to 8–10 cm depending on the method; an absolute maximum of 12–15 cm is possible with a second operation. We never promise more than your anatomy safely allows.

It relies on distraction osteogenesis: the femur or tibia is surgically separated in a controlled way, then extended by about 1 mm per day while your body fills the growing gap with new natural bone tissue. We perform three systems — LON, Fitbone and Precice 2 — and the lengthened section is entirely your own bone, not an implant.
A single surgery adds 6–7 cm on the lower leg (tibia), 8–8.5 cm on the femur with fully internal systems (Fitbone or Precice 2), and up to 10 cm on the femur with the Combined (LON) method. Bone quality, age and muscle flexibility shape the achievable amount; your safe personal target is set after examination and X-ray evaluation.
The femur and tibia are lengthened within the same treatment process, allowing a total height increase of 12–15 cm. For safety, at least one segment always uses a fully internal system — an external fixator is never applied to both segments at the same time.
Single-surgery packages are 26,400 USD for LON, 54,000 USD for Fitbone and 58,000 USD for Precice 2. Quadrilateral packages range from 79,400 USD (Fitbone + LON) to 115,000 USD (Precice 2 + Precice 2). Every package covers the surgery, hospital stay, medications, physiotherapy and VIP transfers — with no hidden fees.
Yes. The lengthened section consolidates into completely new, healthy bone tissue and becomes a permanent part of your body. Once healing is complete, your new height stays with you for life.
As with any major orthopedic operation, risks include infection, delayed bone healing, muscle and tendon tightness, joint stiffness, and nerve or vessel sensitivity. An experienced team, regular X-ray monitoring and a disciplined physiotherapy program keep these risks largely manageable.
When the operation is performed by an experienced surgeon with a specialized team, the risk is very low. To date, no permanent nerve damage has been observed in our patients; the entire process is closely followed with regular checkups and a personalized physiotherapy program.
Assisted walking with a walker begins 2–3 days after surgery, and walking without support generally starts around 5–6 months. Light activities such as swimming can begin around 7–8 months with your doctor's approval, and high-impact sports are typically safe after about 12 months. For quadrilateral lengthening these timelines are slightly longer.
