Good morning, I wonder if you could provide pricing for surgery, ideally a height gain of around 8cm. I’d also be interested to understand how long I’d be unable to carry out my job as a plumber while going through this procedure.

Hello, thanks for your comment. For physical jobs, the required time to be away is around 7-9 months. As the recovery phase is a delicate time, patients should be attentive not to neglect their physical therapy, exercises, and healthy nutrition intake. As to quotes, detailed info will be sent to your email address. Regards, WBT - Medzonia.

One year ago I had two limb lenghtening surgeries with LON method for femur and tibia, both by 6 cm. I was thinking if it\'s possible to do another round for femur and tibia, by 6 cm? The bones are healed and the nails haven\'t been removed yet. Is it possible and would it be safe in this case?

Hello, we empathize with your desire for additional length, and our primary concern is your overall well-being. We recommend discussing your goals and concerns in-depth with an orthopedic surgeon, who can provide personalized advice based on your specific medical history and physical examination. Regards, WBT.

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?

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.

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?

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?

Reply

Wanna 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.
