Lon Femur Surgery 167 cm start height ( My doc is professor Halil İbrahim Balci)

Edit Post

I just realized this forum because of my work. I just want to share my limb lengthening experience to thanks to limb lengthening İstanbul and Halil İbrahim Balci. Im lawyer. I have my own law office. My start height is 167 cm. Im 30 years old.

Deciding this surgery took almost 4 years from me. There are many options for me before but Doc Halil İbrahim Balci wasnt an option because i didnt know him. But i heard many bad things about limb lengthening surgery so i could not trust anyone. Also, I heard some global doctors like Paley, Rosbruch, Donghon lee, Dr Betz.

 I heard my doctor first time in a turkish forum site.  When i try to reach him, i found and contacted to his organisation,  Limb Lengthening İstanbul ( They are shortening their name as LLI). To have trust him. I searched his working area and i noticed that he has many studies about limb lengthening, one of them is with Dror Paley. I want to share this.  https://avesis.istanbul.edu.tr/yayin/2e908e5b-6491-40a8-b9ee-598fd4c4d544/stature-lengthening-using-the-precice-intramedullary-lengthening-nail  So these things made me decide prof dr Halil İbrahim Balci.

I took that surgery in July 28. I completed my lengthening period, Im on consolidation stage. Im walking with using 1 walking stick. İt was two before. I will add my x-rays here.

It happened because I started to walk so early without listening to my doctor. I didnt feel any pain so I noticed it only when I took an X-ray.
