Medically, what do you think, is it better to lenghten with longer or shorter legs? I mean I am 170 cm wanting to undergo this surgery, but legs make up around ~100 cm of my height. Does lenghtening already long legs increase the risk of complications or vice versa?

Do you perform Combined tibia (up to 4cm) and femur (up to 4cm) lengthening, followed by re-breaking femur and tibia with same nail in place and repeating up to 4cm femur and up to 4cm tibia lengthening one year or more later to achieve maximum (16 cm) gain. If yes, what would be the cost?

Hello, re-breaking the bones during the procedure is not always necessary and depends on the individual case and the desired lengthening goal. The decision to perform re-breaking would be made by the surgeon based on factors such as bone stability, healing progress, and overall patient health. Even though it is feasible except for using the same nail, our doctor does not approach doing it. He prefers two separate bilateral surgeries and wants patients to achieve the ideal height gain as safely as possible. Regards, WBT.

What if you have slightly longer legs and/or slightly larger tibias/femurs, could that cause any additional complications or make any limits on the lenghtening amount?
ReplyWanna Be Taller - Makbule2023-07-08 12:50
Hello, thanks for your comment. During the face-to-face consultation, the doctor discusses the body ratio and proportionality with patients over the X-ray images. Based on the measurements, he gives the estimated height increase that patients should achieve in order to keep the balance in proportion. Regards, WBT.

Is it possible to lengthen 17 cm using precice?
ReplyWanna Be Taller - Makbule2023-07-04 12:05
Hello, thanks for your comment. The amount of lengthening that can be safely achieved in a single surgery depends on various factors, such as the age and overall health of the patient, the location of the bone that needs to be lengthened, muscle flexibility, and the surgical technique used. Though it is technically possible to reach 17 cm by undergoing two separate surgeries, it is not recommended to exceed the safe limits, which are 8 cm for femurs and 7 cm fro tibias. Regards, WBT.

Hello, How much does it cost for leg lengthening in both femur and tibia simultaneously for maximum height and how long it takes for full recovery please.
ReplyWannaBeTaller - Makbule2023-01-02 18:07
Hello, thanks for your comment. The doctor does not recommend doing quadrilateral surgery because it requires a long duration of anesthesia, carries a high risk of embolism, and can cause multiple trauma in the legs. Thus, he recommends doing the second lengthening surgery at least a month after the first surgery, but he prefers the operated area to heal properly and then, go for the second segment. Accordingly, the doctor can perform the second surgery on 3/6 or 12 months after the first operation. Considering doing two surgeries 3-month apart, the recovery time could be 8/9 months.

Hello, Before the surgery, our contracted doctor examines the measurements of each segment and determines the most suitable lengthening amount for the patient by considering the tibia/femur ratio. As with any surgery, there are risks and complications involved in limb lengthening as well. After the surgery, if the patient stays within the safe lengthening limits, receives complete medical services, and periodically sends X-rays to update their current condition, potential complications can be minimized. if you are considering leg-lengthening surgery, we strongly advise you to schedule a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon who has experience in limb-lengthening procedures. They will be able to assess your situation, discuss potential risks and benefits, and provide you with the most appropriate advice based on your unique needs and goals. Regards, WBT.
