How to Increase Your Height Safely with Limb Lengthening Surgery
Cosmetic limb lengthening is a revolutionary height increase procedure that lengthens bones in the legs or arms using internal devices like the Precice nail.
At Paley Institute, we prioritize safety, minimizing risks like infection or nerve damage through advanced techniques and expert monitoring.
Our process is designed for optimal outcomes:
initial Consult
The consultation starts with a specialized standing x-ray called an EOS scan. This is a low-radiation dose scan of your entire body from head to foot in a biplanar fashion (front and side at the same time).
Surgery
You will have a preoperative visit with the surgery team to go over the consent form and all of the paperwork. You will also have an appointment with our preoperative nurse and anesthesiologist.
Lengthening Phase
No lengthening is performed in the first week after surgery. This is called the Latency period. One week after surgery, you will begin the lengthening phase. During the lengthening phase, the PRECICE nail will lengthen the bone 1mm per day.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy (PT) is required daily (5 days per week) during the lengthening phase. The Paley Institute has a specialized physical therapy department on-site.
Bone Healing
Once the desired length has been achieved, you will enter the bone healing (consolidation) phase and you can return home.
Hardware Removal
Once the new regenerate bone has completely healed and you have returned to your normal level of activity the final step will be removal of the PRECICE nails.

Stature lengthening (often referred to as cosmetic limb lengthening) is a surgical procedure designed to increase an individual’s height by gradually lengthening the bones in the legs. This is achieved through a controlled process where the bone is surgically cut and then slowly separated, allowing new bone tissue to fill in the gap, resulting in increased length.
The amount of height that can be safely achieved varies depending on the surgical method and individual patient factors. Generally, lengthening of up to 8 centimeters (approximately 3.15 inches) in the femur (thigh bone) and up to 5 centimeters (approximately 2 inches) in the tibia (shin bone) is considered safe.
Pain levels can vary among individuals. While the surgical procedure itself is performed under anesthesia, patients may experience discomfort immediately following surgery as well as during the lengthening phase due to the stretching of muscles and soft tissue. Pain is typically managed with medication and a structured physical therapy program.
