Here are the response from Centre of Anthropometrical Cosmetology regarding Limb Lengthening surgery.
1) How many patients have you operated for cosmetic Limb Lengthening so far and How many patients do you operate yearly?
We've operated over 200 patients only for LL so far. Our clinic is not large and we can't accept more than 10 LL patients a year
The operating surgeon is Dr. Barinov.
2) What is the estimated total cost, including post-op treatments, stay, medications, physiotherapy? Are unscheduled surgeries covered and How much does a consultation cost?
The total cost of the contract, signed for 3 months is 12 500 euros including the surgery, physio, painkillers, accommodation and meals. There are some extra expenses, as consultation, crutches and additional blood tests. We charge for consultation because the patient can refuse to do the surgery after it.
3) What kind of physical therapy is assigned to the patient?
The patient does physiotherapy while his staying in hospital, these are special exercises which help flexibility of joints.
4) What maximum amount of lengthening do you recommend per segment, regarding patient safety? What is the daily rate of lengthening?
Surgeons worldwide recommend to grow 5-7 cm, which is considered physiological. On an average patients grow 0.75 - 1 mm a day. growing 8-9 cm requires up to 9-10 months of treatment.
I must say that the process of growing is very individual, some patients stop at 3-4 cm, others grow 9 cm and it's impossible to predict how the body will react to growing.
5) What are your opinions regarding the weightbearing of the patients?
Some walk with crutches up to the day the frames are removed, and others start walking without crutches 2 months after the surgery.
6) How often will you follow up with patients during lengthening?
The doctors sees the patients almost every day and X-ray is done every month to see regeneration of the bones
7) How fast can patients return to normal life (walking without support)? What is the time required to lengthen 5 cm and 7.5-8 cm ?
From my experience I can say that those who have well-trained strong muscles grow harder, their muscles are very rigid. That's why we recommend our patients to stop running and start stretching exercises before doing the surgery.
