    Congratulations on your journey! I am currently undergoing femur lengthening through Limb Lengthening (LL) and I am extremely satisfied with the care and expertise provided by Dr. Uysal and the staff. Specifically, Omer, my main point of contact, has been exceptional. They surprised me with a basket of goodies right after my surgery. Let me tell you, waking up from surgery and being handed ice-cold juice feels heavenly. It’s the small things that matter, you know?

    I adore the hotel. The breakfast buffet is divine. I just started the lengthening process yesterday and I feel fantastic. I experience minimal pain, but I do get very tired after just a few steps. I am 179cm tall and aiming to increase my height by 8cm. Due to my athletic physique and active sports involvement, my healing plan is slightly adjusted. Weighing 104kg, I cannot walk all day to avoid risking the bending of my LON nails. Therefore, I strictly follow the instructions given during physical therapy, and everything is progressing smoothly so far. Special thanks to Farooq, Mahmood, and the individual responsible for changing my dressings. Your professionalism and patience are truly commendable.

    Dr. Uysal is exceptional. He is approachable, kind, truthful, efficient, and supportive. You couldn’t wish for better hands to be in.

    You may perform the other surgery a month following the initial one when your body has healed from the first one. Alternatively, you can undergo the second surgery immediately after completing the limb lengthening process of the initial segment. You could also opt to wait until the first segment has entirely consolidated. The decision will vary based on your body’s tolerance and your desire to maximize limb lengthening. I chose to have the femurs operated on a month after the tibia surgery. Perhaps waiting until the tibias had lengthened (an additional 3 weeks) would have been more beneficial. The second surgery disrupts the lengthening, recovery, and stretching of the initial segment if performed during the lengthening phase. This made it more challenging to optimize the lengthening of my tibia.
