Marius initiated his journey by scheduling an online consultation with one of Wannabetaller’s patient consultants. During this comprehensive virtual meeting, he openly discussed his aspirations, concerns, and questions regarding limb lengthening surgery. The consultant provided detailed information, guiding Marius through the entire procedure, potential outcomes, and the recovery process. Feeling reassured by the professionalism, expertise, and transparency displayed during the consultation, Marius confidently made the decision to entrust his transformative journey to Wannabetaller.
Setting an ambitious yet attainable goal for his limb lengthening procedure; which was gaining an additional 9–10 cm in height, he planned on reaching around 181 cm at the end. Achieving this milestone would significantly enhance his presence both in the gym and the ring, aligning perfectly with his athletic ambitions. More than just numbers, this height increase symbolized newfound confidence, a stronger competitive edge, and personal growth that extended beyond the physical.
To ensure optimal preparation for his surgery, Marius was guided through a structured pre-operative exercise regimen, with a strong emphasis on stretching. Our medical team provided tailored recommendations, highlighting specific stretching routines aimed at increasing muscle flexibility and enhancing joint mobility. These exercises were designed not only to prepare Marius physically for the procedure but also to facilitate a smoother and more comfortable recovery phase. By diligently following the recommended pre-operative stretching plan, Marius positioned himself ideally for a successful surgical outcome and a faster return to athletic performance.
After completing comprehensive pre-operative examinations—including blood tests, anesthesia evaluations, X-rays, and all other essential assessments—Marius had an in-depth consultation and physical examination with our specialist, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yunus Öç. The consultation proceeded excellently, with our doctor carefully reviewing Marius’s X-rays and assessing his overall physical readiness. Thanks to his disciplined approach to flexibility exercises and consistent stretching routines prior to surgery, Marius was found well-prepared. Our doctor confidently confirmed that Marius was suitable to pursue his targeted height increase of 9–10 cm, aligning perfectly with his ambitious goal.
The next day was the big day: Operation Day. Following his successful surgery, Marius was carefully accompanied to his hospital room by Wannabetaller’s dedicated caretaker, ensuring comfort and immediate attention. During his hospitalization, he received two personalized physiotherapy sessions under the attentive guidance of our expert physiotherapist. Although Marius recalls experiencing significant discomfort during the initial days following surgery, he noted that the pain gradually subsided, becoming increasingly manageable. After four days, his condition had improved sufficiently for discharge, and he was comfortably transferred via private ambulance to our affiliated hotel. By the time he arrived at the hotel, Marius felt confident that his pain had become tolerable enough to effectively engage in continued physiotherapy and focus fully on his recovery journey.
During his stay at our hotel in Istanbul, he enjoyed a fulfilling experience with the attentive support of our dedicated team. His days were thoughtfully balanced with invigorating exercise routines and personalized physiotherapy sessions designed to enhance his recovery and overall wellness. Additionally, he took delight in leisure activities, engaging in playful moments and building genuine connections with our staff. His visit was also enriched by a delightful exploration of Turkish cuisine, savoring authentic dishes that introduced him to the vibrant flavors and culinary traditions of Turkey.
After spending 10 days comfortably at our affiliated hotel, Marius decided to continue his recovery journey back home, surrounded by his supportive family and his beloved dog, who never left his side. Before his departure, our medical team conducted thorough evaluations, reviewing X-rays, tests, and doctor’s assessments to confirm that he was in excellent condition to safely travel home. Reassured by our continuous, around-the-clock support via a dedicated WhatsApp group—including the medical team, physiotherapists, and patient coordinators—Marius confidently flew back to Ireland, ready to pursue a smooth and successful recovery process in the comfort of his own home.
After returning home, Marius maintained close communication with our team, actively continuing his recovery through dedicated physiotherapy sessions conducted remotely by our experienced physiotherapists. Regularly sharing his progress and feedback, he benefited from personalized guidance and adjustments to his rehabilitation plan, ensuring optimal results. This ongoing collaboration allowed him to progress comfortably and confidently, supported every step of the way by our attentive medical team, despite the physical distance.
