Lengthening Treatment Turkey

Lengthening treatment is an operation performed for cosmetic or medical reasons so that the individual can have longer bones. This operation can be performed to lengthen the leg bones or arm bones. However, it is generally preferred for the purpose of extending the leg length. Individuals who plan to have lengthening treatment are evaluated in detail by the doctor in terms of their suitability for the operation. If there is no health condition that may prevent the operation, lengthening treatment can be applied. Thanks to this treatment, even individuals who have completed their bone development, that is, whose growth plates have closed, can have a longer stature. If the amount of targeted elongation is less than 10 cm, the procedure is applied to the shinbone (tibia) only or to the thighbone (femura) only. If an elongation of more than 10 centimetres is aimed, it may be necessary to intervene in both bones. The maximum achievable bone length is proportional to the original length of the bones.
