Ever caught yourself wishing you were just a few inches taller? You're not alone. Every day, thousands of people google "how to grow taller" - even long after their growth plates have closed.
But what if we told you height increase surgery isn't just something from sci-fi movies? Limb lengthening has evolved from a reconstructive procedure into an elective option for those seeking additional height.

At Estetik International, we combine world-class surgical techniques with advanced post-operative care to make this transformation safe, precise, and empowering.
Ever wondered what limb lengthening surgery actually is? It's a surgical procedure that increases the length of bones in the arms or legs. Pretty straightforward in concept, but complex in execution.
Limb lengthening is a highly specialized orthopedic surgery that increases the length of the bones in the legs, usually the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone), or both. Through a process called distraction osteogenesis, the bone is gradually separated to allow new bone tissue to grow and fill in the gap, effectively increasing height.

Some patients opt for tibia lengthening first, recover completely, then return for femur lengthening later. Others might choose simultaneous bilateral lengthening (both legs at once).
The combined approach can potentially yield 12-16 cm (4.7-6.3 inches) of total height increase—but comes with significantly more risk and recovery time.
