Most people who want lengthening surgery are not satisfied with their body appearance. Body image is the way we perceive ourselves. Whether we are tall or short is related to how many cm we are, as well as how we perceive ourselves according to our body and leg ratio.
By looking at the distribution of height in the society, we can evaluate the average height of the society and who is taller and shorter than the society. In studies, the average height is 173 cm in men and 163 cm in women. The lower limit of normal height is 166 cm in men and 153 cm in women. Six of these heights are considered short stature. But the most important thing is how the person perceives himself.
The aim of aesthetic lengthening is to increase the height of the person in a healthy way and to carry out the process without any loss of function in this process. For this reason, the most suitable method for such an operation is the use of nail systems that provide elongation by placing them into the bone. With the development of technology, the Precice Stryde nail, a model with the load-bearing capacity of these nails, was produced.
During the lengthening process, the patient can walk by putting weight on his leg. Bone elongation is achieved by applying a magnetic field from the outside of the leg or arm. It has an elongation capacity of up to 8 cm.
The person who wants to increase his height cosmetically is first examined in our clinic. The size of the Precice Stryde nail to be used on the leg length film of the patient being examined is determined and the nail is ordered for the patient. This process takes 3-4 weeks. Surgery is planned on the x-rays taken.
The patient is admitted to the hospital on the agreed day. After the patient's pre-operative preparations are completed, the patient is taken into surgery. The duration of the operation is 2-3 hours. One day after the operation, the person is walked with the help of a walker. 3 days after the hospital, the patient is placed in the hotel room. In this process, the patient is taught to walk and the exercises that he will do during the day. Day 7 Precice Stry teaches the patient how to lengthen the intramedullary nail with an external control device. On the 17th day, the patient's x-ray x-ray is taken. The patient who learns the exercises to do can go home. The patient sends an X-ray of his leg to his doctor every 3 weeks. In this process, the patient can walk with 2 couches. After the elongation is completed, the patient is followed up with monthly x-ray films until the bone formation is complete.
