Hey everyone, finally getting around to posting my full experience here. I actually meant to update more during my journey, but honestly with the surgery, the rehab, and still working remotely from my laptop, time really flew by and I totally forgot to check in here earlier. Things move fast once you’re in it.
So Im from LA. I started at 173 cm and now Im standing at 181 cm after Precice femur lengthening with Dr. Fatih. I originally planned to stop at 7 cm but when I saw that I wasn’t getting too stiff around 6 cm, I decided to push for the full 8 cm and I’m glad I did. Today its been 4 months. I am back in LA now and recovering well.
I stayed at Seba Suites in Kagithane during my stay, which I can definitely recommend it was very comfortable and super convenient for getting to therapy sessions. Huge shoutout to my physical therapist, Suna she was incredibly helpful, especially when things got tough later in the process.
Pain-wise: I won’t sugarcoat it the first 3 cm were pretty smooth. I did have some pain at night before sleeping, but nothing unmanageable. After 3 cm, though, I started to get more intense pain attacks, mostly before bedtime. I managed with paracetamol, Rantudil, Geralgin-K, and Contramal Retard.
Around 5 cm was probably the hardest part for me. My side muscles tightened up so badly that I started walking like a penguin kind of funny looking back, but pretty frustrating at the time. Regular therapy and stretches with Suna helped a lot, but the sharp pains were still difficult. Contramal wasn’t cutting it, so after checking in with Dr. Fatih, he prescribed Oxopane 10 mg and that worked like magic. Made a huge difference in my ability to rest and keep up with the rehab.
I also had some digestion problems along the way, most likely from the medications and reduced activity. Took care of that with Duphalac and it was fine after a while.
Even during lengthening, I tried to keep life somewhat normal. Went to the barber a couple of times at Seba Suites, rolled out to nearby shopping malls in a wheelchair just to get out of the apartment those little trips made a big difference mentally.
At this stage, I can walk indoors with a walker and practice daily. Im only using a wheelchair outdoors for safety there’s always a risk of falling or nail break, so I don’t take chances. I’ve slowly come off all pain meds now, just taking creatine and vitamin D supplements.
Looking back, I feel very lucky I chose Lengthening Turkey for my surgery. The whole team was professional and supportive from start to finish. You hear so many nightmare stories out there, but my experience was smooth and well-managed thanks to them.
If anyone is considering it; yes, it takes mental strength, and there are painful days. But if you stay focused, do your rehab, and have a good team (and PT) behind you, it is 100% doable.
Thanks again to Dr. Fatih, Suna, and everyone at Lengthening Turkey. I couldn’t be happier with my results.
My Leg Lengthening Journey with Lengthening Turkey (Precice Femur, March 2025)
Just a quick update guys. Right now i can walk and my bones are about halfway solidified. Im still a bit hesitant to leave the walker when i walk but sometimes at home i forget to use it and end up walking on my own. Still being careful tho, i avoid sudden turns or movements. When i go out for a longer walk like on the street or the park nearby i always take the walker with me for safety. Progress is steady and every week feels a bit better.
Hey everyone, just wanted to share another update with you all. I can finally walk completely on my own now, without any help or walker. It feels amazing to say that. My legs feel strong and stable, and honestly, most of the time I forget that I even had surgery. There is still a little fear when it comes to running or doing anything too sudden, so I am taking it slow for now. But day by day I feel more natural and confident with my steps. Looking back at how far things have come, it really feels like a new chapter starting.
I believe my wingspan was 175 and my tibia 39cm and femur was 47cm. I really dont care about it and feel anything different about this after my new height. I mean i dont feel any difference about my arm sizes compare to my legs. Its like as if my height was always 181😅🤷🏻♂️

Yea they are not bad. I was lucky to find them. Of course if you have budget try to get precice. If not i had couple friends who was with me at hotel who got Lon and they also recovered well.
Quote from: 6feet2Mogger on December 09, 2025, 09:26:06 PMHello where, who and how much did you pay for your 3 inch precise femur surgery? I am considering Assayg but its 80k here in the U.S, I am also
5'9 and I want to reach 6 ft through precise but I am so scared to goto another country outside of the US because I keep hearing reviews that it
is a gamble. Thank you.
Got my surgery back in february by Dr Fatih Arslanoglu Paid 44K$ if was before their price change. Yeah i was nervous too but i gave it a shot and it went well for me.
