I believe I’m the first person to undergo cosmetic forearm lengthening. So far, I’ve achieved 5cm with Dr. Salameh using the small external Salamehfix device. Dr. Salameh designed two special fixators specifically for me, which allow rotation with the forearm. There’s one fixator for each bone in the forearm, and I’ve done bilateral forearm lengthening. I also had humerus lengthening with Dr. Salameh and achieved 6cm. My hand and fingers are completely normal, and I do physiotherapy three times a week to maintain mobility and strength. I haven’t experienced any pain and have been lengthening slowly, about three times a day, to stay on the safe side. The process has gone smoothly, and I can even hide the external fixators with a jacket. Since Dr. Salameh has extensive experience with forearm deformities, I felt confident it wouldn’t be a significant risk—and it’s been a great experience overall.
