Leg Lengthening Surgery

Leg Lengthening Surgery

Height enlargement surgery is a procedure performed to increase the height of individuals through a surgical intervention. Generally, short stature is preferred in cases where it negatively affects the individual's quality of life for psychological or aesthetic reasons.

Some individuals may have short stature as a result of congenital or acquired health problems. At the same time, some people may seek height enlargement surgery for aesthetic reasons or social pressure.

In lengthening surgery, fractures are created in the bones in a controlled manner and a space is gradually created between these fractured areas, encouraging the regrowth of the bones. In this process, a certain tension is applied between the leg bones with an external device and this allows the bones to lengthen.

After surgery, an individual may experience temporary pain and discomfort in their legs. Physical therapy has an important role in this process. The rehabilitation process allows the bones to fuse properly and the individual regains the ability to walk.

Height enlargement surgery can increase individuals' self-esteem and quality of life. However, to get detailed information about the risks, costs and recovery process of this type of surgery, consult Op. Dr. You need to schedule a preliminary meeting with Serkan Hezar.
