What is the PRECICE Method?
PRECICE is a revolutionary fully internal limb lengthening system designed to increase height safely, accurately, and discreetly. The PRECICE system uses a titanium telescopic nail that is implanted into the femur or tibia bone. The key feature is its magnetic motor, which interacts with an external remote control device to extend the bone by 1 mm per day, without the need for any external hardware or fixators.
Patients lie down and simply activate the remote controller for a few minutes daily. This internal process allows new bone to regenerate gradually, with near-zero discomfort or visual disruption.
Key Advantages of PRECICE Method for Limb Lengthening
✅ No External Devices: No risk of pin-site infections or bulky external frames
✅ Highly Comfortable: Patients report better sleep, hygiene, and mobility
✅ Minimal Scarring: Only five 1–2 cm incisions per leg
✅ Precise Control: The magnetic remote offers daily exact 1 mm adjustments
✅ Ideal for Discreet Recovery: No visible signs of surgery during lengthening
Key Benefits of the PRECICE Method for Limb Lengthening
100% Internal: No fixators or pins outside your body
Magnetic Control: Daily growth controlled remotely with precision
Minimally Invasive: 5 small incisions (1–2 cm) per leg
Reduced Pain & Risk: No exposed wounds = extremely low infection risk
Natural Bone Regeneration: Your body fills the new space with natural bone
High Aesthetic Value: No visible scarring or disfigurement post-surgery
How Does PRECICE Work?
Imagine a small rod placed inside your leg bone that slowly grows in length each day — all without opening the skin or attaching anything to the outside.
Here’s how it works:
A custom titanium rod is surgically inserted into your femur or tibia.
Inside the rod is a miniature magnetic motor.
Using a remote control device, you activate the motor each day from outside your body.
The bone is gently pulled apart by 1 millimeter per day.
Procedure Timeline and Recovery of PRECICE
Surgical Time: 3–4 hours under general anesthesia
Bone Growth Rate: 1 mm per day = 8 cm in 80 days
No Second Surgery Needed: No external device removal
Stay in Istanbul: 3 months of post-op monitoring, physiotherapy, and accommodation
Full Healing: Nail removed 1.5–2 years post-procedure
Ideal Candidate Profile
PRECICE is best for:
Professionals, athletes, or models wanting minimal visibility
Patients who prefer maximum safety and minimal pain
Individuals with strong compliance and patience
Anyone looking for a cutting-edge, luxury medical solution
⚠️ Important Limitations of PRECICE Method for Limb Lengthening
Limited Weight-Bearing: Can only support 35 kg per leg for the first 6 months
Slower Return to Walking: Assisted mobility required for a longer period
Higher Cost: Advanced technology, premium materials, and remote systems increase the price point
Longer Device Retention: Titanium rod remains in the body for 1.5 to 2 years until full bone healing is complete
Pre-procedure Tips for PRECICE Method
Careful preparation helps your body respond well to surgery and supports smooth bone regeneration once lengthening begins. Before your PRECICE procedure, keep the following in mind.
Stop smoking and avoid nicotine products for at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery, as smoking impairs bone healing and regeneration.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil, for at least 1 to 2 weeks prior, unless your surgeon advises otherwise.
Arrange your travel and accommodation for an extended stay of around 3 months in Istanbul for surgery, monitoring, and physiotherapy.
Complete all requested pre-operative bloodwork, imaging, and bone measurements so your surgical team can plan the exact lengthening protocol.
Maintain a balanced, protein- and calcium-rich diet in the weeks leading up to surgery to support bone strength.
Operation Day: Step by Step for PRECICE Method
On the day of surgery, the PRECICE nail is implanted under general anesthesia using a minimally invasive technique. Here is what typically happens.
You are placed under general anesthesia in a fully equipped operating theatre.
The surgeon makes five small incisions, 1 to 2 cm each, along the leg to access the femur or tibia.
The custom titanium telescopic nail, containing the internal magnetic motor, is precisely inserted into the bone canal.
The incisions are closed with minimal, discreet stitching, leaving no external hardware in place.
You are moved to recovery for monitoring before beginning the daily remote-controlled lengthening process a few days later.
Post-procedure Tips for PRECICE Method
Since the PRECICE system works entirely inside the body, aftercare focuses on consistent daily activation, mobility support, and monitoring bone growth. Follow these guidelines during your recovery.
Activate the external remote control device daily as instructed to maintain the steady 1 mm per day lengthening rate.
Limit weight-bearing to around 35 kg per leg for the first 6 months and use walking aids as recommended by your physiotherapist.
Attend regular physiotherapy sessions to preserve joint flexibility and muscle strength during the lengthening phase.
Avoid smoking and alcohol throughout recovery, as both can slow bone regeneration.
Sleep with your legs slightly elevated and supported to reduce swelling and discomfort in the early weeks.

The PRECICE Method is a fully internal limb lengthening system that uses a magnetically controlled titanium nail placed inside the femur or tibia to gradually increase height. It is ideal for professionals, athletes, or anyone who wants a discreet, minimally visible lengthening process. Good candidates are generally in good general health, have finished skeletal growth, and are willing to commit to the daily remote-control routine and follow-up physiotherapy required for the best outcome.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. Through five small incisions of 1 to 2 cm per leg, a titanium telescopic nail containing a miniature magnetic motor is implanted into the bone. There are no external pins or frames. Once healed, patients activate an external remote control for a few minutes each day, which drives the internal motor to lengthen the bone by 1 mm daily as new bone regenerates naturally to fill the gap.
Bone lengthening progresses at 1 mm per day, so reaching up to 8 cm takes about 80 days, or roughly 2 to 3 months. Patients typically remain in Istanbul for around 3 months for close monitoring, physiotherapy, and supervised mobility training. Weight-bearing is limited to about 35 kg per leg during the first 6 months, so assisted walking is required for longer than with external systems, though daily comfort, sleep, and hygiene are noticeably better since nothing protrudes from the skin.
Yes, once the newly regenerated bone has fully consolidated, the added height is permanent. The titanium nail itself stays inside the leg for approximately 1.5 to 2 years to support the bone as it matures and strengthens, after which it is removed in a straightforward outpatient-style procedure. No second lengthening surgery is required, since the entire growth process happens internally through the magnetic motor rather than external adjustment.
Because the PRECICE system is 100% internal, there are no exposed pins or external hardware, which greatly reduces the risk of infection compared to traditional fixator methods. Scarring is minimal, limited to five small 1 to 2 cm incisions per leg that fade over time. As with any major orthopedic surgery, general risks such as blood clots, stiffness, or delayed bone healing exist, which is why Estetik International provides structured monitoring, physiotherapy, and aftercare throughout your recovery in Istanbul and beyond.
