Cosmetic Limb Lengthening Surgery

Cosmetic Limb Lengthening Surgery in Delhi

Is It Possible To Lengthen Both The Tibia and Femurs at Same Time? 

Both of these can in fact be lengthened, though this is a carefully orchestrated and surgically conducted process. Our cosmetic leg lengthening procedure performs this complicated procedure for patients who desire proportional increase in height. Lengthing both in a combined process yields a greater increase in total height, though it is a greater stress on the body.

The patient who is getting this procedure must be willing to go through a more difficult process of recovery since it is needed for lower and upper leg muscles alike. While it shortens the time in a course of surgeries, it must have stringent medical surveillance so it can stimulate growth of the bone in an appropriate position. Our highly trained staff makes use of cutting-edge internal lengthening technology, which stimulates growth of the bone in a secure and appropriate location. If bilateral leg lengthening is being considered, we have individualized consultations so we can discover the best solution for your goals in a secure and uneventful course of recovery.

Quadrilateral Recovery 

Recovery from cosmetic leg lengthening varies depending on whether it is one of the femurs, the tibias, or both that is being lengthened. For individuals that have quadrilateral leg lengthening, meaning both femurs and tibias, there is a more difficult rehab process, as four of these bones are healing simultaneously.

There is muscle tightness, swelling, and pain for the initial few weeks, which is managed with pain relief and physiotherapy. Physical therapy is initiated early in a bid to maintain flexibility and strength in the supporting muscles of the stretched bones. Quadrilateral procedures have a lot of muscle adaptation, so we provide an individualized plan of rehabilitation in a bid to prevent complications and speed up recovery.

TimeLine For Lengthening and Recovery 

• Recovery & Healing in the Beginning (Day 1-2): The patient is admitted in hospital for a short time for observation and pain relief. The body starts healing of surgical wounds.
• Lengthening Phase (2-3 Months): The bone distractor process begins a few days post-surgery, when bones grow in length about 1mm a day. Check-up appointments ensure proper growth and alignment.
• Consolidation Phase (3-6 Months): The new bone starts hardening, and patients begin to regain strength in a course of physical therapy.
• Complete Recovery (6-12 Months): The individual is restored to normal movement, doing daily activities as normal since the bones have consolidated.

Eligibility Criteria 

Not all patients make ideal cosmetic leg lengthening candidates. Patients have to fulfill a set of requirements so it can be a safe and effective procedure.

• Health and Age: The candidate must be in good all-round health, have healthy circulatory system, and healthy bones. In general, it is recommended for a person of 18-50 years of age.
• Psychological Preparation: The patients have to be prepared for this lengthy and challenging process, as well as for its psychological and physical stress.
• Bone Quality: Medical exams and x-rays are taken in order to evaluate bone structure and density for appropriateness.
• Recovery Commitment: Since physical therapy and post-operative care play such an important role in success, patients must commit themselves to following all medical guidance and rehab programs.

How Does The Process Work? 

Our cosmetic leg lengthening procedure is a highly controlled, step-by-step process utilizing cutting-edge internal lengthening technology for a secure increase in height, all resulting in a naturally enhanced outcome.

• Surgical Procedure: The surgeon makes a minimal cut and implants an orthopedic lengthening device in the bone.
• Bone Lengthening: The device, a few days post-operation, gradually extends the bone 1mm daily in controlled increments.
• New Bone Formation: The body automatically fills in the gap when the bone extends, keeping it stable.
• Rehabilitation and follow-up checks: Physical therapy facilitates adaptation of muscles, and occasional medical checks track progress.
• Bone Consolidation: The new bone hardens once it achieves its desired size, taking a few months to return to full functionality and strength.
