According to cosmetic experts, leg lengthening surgery is the only way to increase height for people who have reached the end of their growth period.
Is leg lengthening cosmetic surgery easy or difficult?
Advantages of using new leg lengthening surgery method
The old method used to be quite painful and time-consuming. Doctors would use a bone cutting method, insert 8 screws through the bone and install an external frame to slowly stretch it at a rate of 1 mm/day. Once the desired height was reached, the patient would have to wear the frame for another 7 months for the bone to heal, then remove the frame. This old method was both painful and very cumbersome and cumbersome in daily life.
Nowadays, thanks to modern advances, before cutting the bone, doctors will place a nail in the bone marrow canal, using only 4 small nails through both ends of the bone. When the length is stretched enough, the frame will be removed. The nail in the marrow canal will play a fixed role while waiting for the bone to solidify.
With this new method, the time spent wearing the brace is shortened to only 1/4. Early removal of the brace also allows patients to quickly return to daily activities and work, while scarring is much smaller and less.
Suitable candidates for leg lengthening
According to orthopedic experts, leg lengthening is only recommended for people with short stature (women under 1.5 m, men under 1.6 m) or those with congenital disabilities or injuries. This technique is not recommended for cases where the difference between the legs is no more than 3 cm.
The appropriate age for leg lengthening is between 20 and 30 years old, because at that time the surgeon can determine the final height. After 35 years old, the bones begin to age, so it is not favorable for lengthening surgery.
Suitable candidates for leg lengthening
In addition to leg lengthening surgery , patients also need to combine with rehabilitation exercises for a period of time, fast or slow depending on each person and the lengthening level. When the musculoskeletal system is stable, has been trained well, the lengthened limb is completely healthy, the patient can walk, run and jump normally.
