Are you ready to read the story of 28-year-old Mr. Mehmet, who grew from 1.73 m to 1.82 m? Although Mr. Mehmet contacted us on October 22, 2022, he actually had a 15-year history of researching limb-lengthening surgery. Living in Ankara, our patient had been conducting research for many years until he finally came across Jack’s limb-lengthening video on YouTube and decided to get in touch. Asking whatever questions he had in mind and receiving detailed answers, Mr. Mehmet made his final decision during this conversation. On October 22, 2022, Mr. Mehmet contacted us, officially beginning his limb-lengthening surgery process.
Pre-Surgery Consultation with the Doctor
After deciding to undergo limb-lengthening surgery, Mr. Mehmet visited our clinic and shared his experience of the first consultation and examination as follows:
“I went to his clinic, and the doctor explained the surgery process and gave very detailed answers to all my questions. He informed me about possible complications and emphasized how harmful excess weight is for this surgery. I appreciate that the doctors explain it to patients the same way they would to their colleagues. Many doctors think their patients won’t understand the details and avoid the effort, which is a big mistake.”
Standing at 173.5 cm tall, Mr. Mehmet contracted the coronavirus during the pandemic. However, since his illness did not prevent the surgery, he underwent the Combined-LON surgery on his upper leg (femur) on November 22, 2022. After the operation, which was performed under general anesthesia, our patient woke up feeling excruciating pain but reported feeling better after about 20 minutes.
The stages of lengthening with the LON method.
A few hours after the surgery, our patient underwent an X-ray, and our doctor stated that the 3-hour operation was successful and everything was on track. The doctor’s first advice to the patient was to perform foot exercises. After learning the exercises from our doctor, the patient started a routine that would contribute to blood circulation.
Mr. Mehmet’s Journey to Growing +8.5 cm Taller
Our patient, Mr. Mehmet, had a height of 173.5 cm before the surgery and reached a full 182 cm after the surgery! Following a successful operation and recovery process, our patient grew an impressive 8.5 cm in a single procedure, stepping into a new chapter of his life.
We wish our patient a happy and healthy life with his new height and beautiful memories. He will be with us again next year for the 2nd tibial lengthening surgery. We are looking forward to see him again! Now, let’s move on to the process.
The First Days at the Hospital and Accommodation
During the post-surgery process, our patients experience luxury comfort and attentive care. While Mr. Mehmet was resting in the comfort of our hospital room, his brother, who came from London to accompany him, had the opportunity to explore the hospital. Impressed by the sense of luxury in our hospital, both Mr. Mehmet and his brother expressed their satisfaction. On the 5th day after the surgery, Mr. Mehmet was discharged and moved to a hotel for rehabilitation.
During the rehabilitation period, when the lengthening process officially began, Mr. Mehmet emphasized that he did not experience severe pain. He listed the reasons as follows:
- Excellent surgical technique
- A physical therapy program 5 days a week (he mentioned feeling pain during the sessions)
- Stretching his legs throughout the day
- Following a high-calorie, high-protein diet and taking supplements such as vitamin D3, fish oil, and multivitamins
Our team pays strict attention to hygiene both at the hospital and the rehabilitation hotel to prevent infections. Mr. Mehmet confirmed that no infection incidents occurred during his stay at the hotel.
Our patient was highly satisfied with the luxury services and privileges offered by the hotel. He shared that our team purchased Wi-Fi with a 5G connection for him to play on his PS5, and no extra charges were requested. Mr. Mehmet stated that the most impressive service for him was the presence of a Nigerian restaurant at the hotel, which had been arranged for an American patient.
Device Removal Surgery
After a pleasant process filled with exercises and rest following the limb-lengthening surgery on November 22, 2022, the devices in our patient’s legs were removed on February 9, 2023. Here is the post-removal status:
- The patient experienced pain for 30 minutes after the anesthesia wore off.
- From the very first day, the patient was able to walk.
- A height measurement was conducted, and he learned that he had grown +8.5 cm, which exceeded his initial goal. He happily noted this achievement.
Important note from our patient: To avoid severe pain during the process, it is very important to do stretching exercises before the surgery. Do not neglect this step!
