Limb Lengthening
Trusted Support for Limb Lengthening Surgery from London to Istanbul
At Cure and Travel, based in London, we specialise in helping patients access limb lengthening surgery at accredited clinics and hospitals in Istanbul. If you’re considering increasing your height through a medically supervised surgical process, we provide professional assistance to connect you with qualified orthopaedic surgeons and ensure your treatment journey is safe, clear, and well supported.
Limb lengthening surgery is a precise, gradual procedure where bones—most often in the legs—are carefully extended. This surgery requires a detailed assessment to determine suitability, a commitment to the recovery process including physiotherapy, and ongoing medical monitoring to promote safe and effective outcomes.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy
Natural Height Increase
Limb lengthening surgery allows you to gain permanent additional height through a controlled, medically supervised process. This gradual bone growth helps achieve a natural and lasting result tailored to your goals.
Improved Body Proportion
The procedure corrects uneven limb lengths, improving your body symmetry and balance. This can enhance your overall appearance and reduce discomfort caused by limb discrepancies.
Expert Care and Safety
Treatment is performed by experienced orthopaedic surgeons in internationally accredited clinics, ensuring high standards of care.
Guided Recovery
A structured rehabilitation program including physiotherapy helps restore joint mobility and muscle strength. This support is essential for safely returning to everyday activities and maintaining long-term results.
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
You meet with an orthopaedic surgeon who evaluates your suitability through medical exams and imaging.
Step 2
Surgery and Device Installation
The bone is surgically cut, and a specialised lengthening device is attached to begin the gradual extension process.
Step 3
Lengthening and Monitoring
The device is adjusted regularly to slowly separate the bone segments while your progress is closely monitored by doctors.
Step 4
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy helps restore strength and mobility as the new bone hardens and you gradually return to normal activities.

Reviews
I was nervous about traveling for a hair transplant, especially from another country. But Cure and Travel made the entire process easy and stress-free. My FUE hair transplant results look incredibly natural, and I barely experienced any pain or downtime.
After months of research comparing clinics, I chose Cure and Travel for my FUE hair transplant in Istanbul, and it was the best decision I could have made. From airport pickup to the hotel and surgery day, everything was seamless. The medical staff were incredibly professional and used the Sapphire FUE technique, which left zero visible scars.

FAQs
Is limb lengthening surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by qualified orthopaedic surgeons using modern techniques, the procedure is considered safe. As with any surgery, there are potential risks, but these are carefully managed by experienced medical teams.
How much height can I gain with limb lengthening?
On average, patients can gain between 5 and 8 cm, though this depends on individual goals, medical suitability, and bone structure. Your surgeon will discuss what’s realistically achievable in your case.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery can take several months and involves a gradual bone-lengthening process, followed by physiotherapy. Most patients can walk with support within a few weeks and see full results after 6–12 months.
Will the procedure be painful?
Some discomfort is expected, especially during the lengthening phase, but pain is usually manageable with medication and support. Clinics provide detailed guidance to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Can I return to work or travel after surgery?
Yes, but it depends on your recovery progress and the nature of your work. Many patients work remotely during recovery. Light travel is possible after the initial healing stage, with your doctor’s approval.
