How much does limb lengthening surgery really cost when you add everything up? The surgical fee is only the starting point: your total budget also depends on how many centimeters you want to gain, how long you stay in Istanbul, where you stay, and which recovery services you choose. This free calculator puts all of those variables in your hands and shows you a transparent, itemized estimate in seconds, with every session and every night priced individually and no hidden fees.
All figures are based on Wanna Be Taller's current 2026 price list: the LON method at $26,400, the Fitbone method at $54,000 and the Precice 2 method at $58,000, each covering both legs for one segment. Every procedure is performed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yunus Öç in JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul, and the base surgical fee never changes with the number of centimeters you target. For goals above 10 cm, the calculator automatically switches to quadrilateral (four-bone) lengthening combinations, where the femur and tibia are lengthened in the same session.
Your height goal drives your timeline: lengthening progresses at about 1 mm per day, starts roughly 5 days after surgery, and we recommend staying at least 5 more days after it ends. The calculator converts your goal into a recommended stay and scales physiotherapy, dressing care, X-ray follow-up and accommodation accordingly. For a full explanation of what determines pricing and how Turkey compares with the USA, Europe and Asia, see our detailed limb lengthening surgery cost guide.

Goals above 10 cm cannot be achieved safely in a single segment. Both the femur (upper leg) and the tibia (lower leg) are therefore lengthened in the same session. This is called quadrilateral (four-bone) lengthening, and the method combinations are listed below.

This limb lengthening surgery cost calculator is for informational purposes. Prices are valid for 2026 and may vary depending on exchange rates, the amount of lengthening, your health status, and the services you choose. Your final written quote is confirmed after a free consultation and doctor evaluation. Stay length and session counts are calculated based on average values and may vary from person to person. How your height goal is distributed between the femur and tibia is decided together with your doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Cost Calculator
How accurate is this cost calculator?
The calculator uses Wanna Be Taller's current 2026 price list and average clinical timelines (1 mm of lengthening per day). It gives a realistic planning estimate; your final written quote is confirmed after a free consultation and doctor evaluation, and there are no hidden fees.
Does the surgery price change based on how many centimeters I want to gain?
No. The base surgical fee (LON $26,400, Fitbone $54,000, Precice 2 $58,000) is fixed regardless of whether you aim for 5 cm or the maximum for a single segment. Your height goal mainly affects how long you stay in Istanbul, which changes accommodation and service costs.
Do the prices cover both legs?
Yes. Each price covers both legs for one segment — either both femurs or both tibias — in a single operation.
What is included in the base surgical price?
Pre-operative diagnostics, the implants and surgical hardware, all surgeon and anesthesia fees, a 4-day stay in a private room at a JCI-accredited hospital, a dedicated caregiver speaking your language, mobility equipment, post-operative medications during your hospital stay, airport pickup and a 6-month complication insurance policy. Long-term accommodation, daily physiotherapy and services after hospital discharge are calculated separately in this tool.
What if I want to gain more than 10 cm?
Height goals above 10 cm cannot be achieved safely in a single segment. In that case, both the femur and the tibia are lengthened in the same session — this is called quadrilateral (four-bone) lengthening. The calculator automatically switches to quadrilateral method combinations when you select a goal above 10 cm. You can read more in our quadrilateral surgery guide.
Do I have to buy accommodation to receive physiotherapy and medical services?
No. You can arrange your own accommodation in Istanbul and still book physiotherapy, dressing care, X-ray follow-up and other services individually. Stays of 90 days or more with the full service bundle automatically qualify for our published 3-month recovery package pricing.
