At Wannabetaller®, we are dedicated to providing you with the best assistance, facilities, and care throughout your limb lengthening journey. From the moment you arrive in Istanbul until the day you reach your desired height, we strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel supported every step of the way.

From welcoming you at the airport to accompanying you to your hotel and hospital, our team remains attentive to all your needs. Our mission is to make you feel completely at home during your stay in Istanbul.

You can reach us via Email, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and Viber to benefit from our FREE consultation service and receive extensive information about limb lengthening methods, pre- and post-surgery procedures, and our services.

We offer free consultations because we believe you have the full right to learn every detail about limb lengthening before making a decision and moving forward with the process.

If you wish to obtain more technical and detailed information regarding surgical techniques, materials, and devices used, or simply have an online conversation with the surgeon we work with, you can schedule a paid video consultation session by making a request to our patient consultation expert.

👉 Please visit the Personalized Patient Consultant page for more details.

Once you have received all the necessary information, you can decide on the surgical method, the part of the limb to be operated (femur or tibia for legs, forearm or humerus for arms), schedule a date for your surgery, and choose whether to stay in Turkey during the entire treatment or return home after a short hospital stay.

By accurately filling out the form provided by our patient consultant, you inform us of your decisions and preferences. This allows us to deliver the highest quality service to you in the shortest possible time.

If you encounter any difficulties in making your choices, you can always reach out to your patient consultant for further guidance and support.

Patients must apply for a visa or e-visa before traveling to Turkey. Applications are usually made online or through embassies/consulates. Some nationals are exempt from visa requirements and can easily enter the country for touristic purposes. They are allowed to stay for a total of 90 days starting from the first day of entry.

However, for some patients, visa procedures can be more complicated, and collecting the required documents may take extra time. In such cases, as Wannabetaller®, we can provide you with an official medical invitation letter to help speed up the process. Thanks to our membership in the Turkish Service Exporters Association, we are authorized to send invitation letters to international patients officially.

👉 For more information, please contact your patient consultant.

If you are wondering what this insurance is for or how it may benefit you, it is the first health insurance designed for international patients coming to Turkey for health tourism. It covers the expenses of complications that may occur after surgery.

Thanks to this policy, in the event that a revision surgery is required due to complications, both foreign patients and Turkish citizens living abroad are officially secured.

👉 Please visit our Health Tourism Guarantee Insurance page for more details.

It is crucial to know what type of documents are required to enter Turkey. If you plan to stay for a long period and your current visa does not allow it, we can assist you in obtaining an e-visa, regular visa, or residence permit.

We also recommend booking your flight ticket well in advance to avoid the risk of missing your surgery date due to sold-out tickets.

Among the services included in your surgery cost is our caretaker service. During your hospital stay, a caretaker who speaks your language will be available whenever you need assistance.

👉 Please visit our Pre-Operative Procedures page for more details.

Our staff will be waiting for you at the airport. After your arrival in Istanbul, you will be taken to a comfortable, high-standard hotel for your stay. On the following day, you will enjoy a guided city tour, where you will discover the beauty of Istanbul, taste delicious local meals, and visit the most iconic sights.

After the tour, your driver will take you to the hospital for essential medical tests to confirm your eligibility for surgery. Test results are typically ready on the same day or the next. Following this, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your doctor at the clinic.

Once all pre-operative steps are completed, a consent form will be presented to you for signing. After you provide consent for the surgery, you will be admitted to the hospital and prepared for your operation.

👉 Please visit our Pre-Operative Procedures page for more details.

The hospital where your limb lengthening surgery takes place directly determines the quality of the operation. That’s why we collaborate with one of the best hospitals in Turkey to ensure your comfort and safety.

Once your doctor confirms that you are eligible, you will be admitted for about 5 days to BHT Clinic Istanbul Tema Hospital, a facility renowned for its advanced technological infrastructure, hygienic surgical environments, and high-quality healthcare services.

During your hospital stay, a caretaker arranged by our team will accompany you and assist you with all your needs. It is also worth noting that the Quality Management Systems of most private hospitals in Turkey are designed in accordance with Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation Standards and the Ministry of Health Quality Standards in Health.

👉 Please visit our Hospital Process and Surgery page for more details.

Congratulations on successfully completing your limb lengthening surgery! On the day after surgery, you will be provided with a walker to take your first steps. (Note: With the Precice 2.2 method, walking is not possible for the first 2–2.5 months, so you will be provided with a wheelchair instead to help you move around.)

During your hospital stay, a caretaker will be available to support you with any additional needs.

After about 4–5 days, when you are preparing to leave the hospital, your doctor will give you detailed instructions on:

• How to perform daily distractions (lengthening),
• How to clean pin sites and change dressings,
• What to do to improve walking ability and reduce pain.

Before your discharge, we will also double-check to make sure you can perform these tasks independently and with confidence.

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the limb lengthening journey. During the first 2–3 months after surgery, patients are recommended to attend at least 4–5 physiotherapy sessions per week. In the following months, the number of sessions should be adjusted based on your doctor’s recommendations.

At Wannabetaller®, we provide this service at the highest standard for our patients. With the guidance of our experienced physiotherapists, your recovery will progress more efficiently and in a healthier way during your stay with us.

👉 Please visit our Physiotherapy page for more details.

Patients are generally expected to resume their daily activities and walk unaided within 4–5 months after surgery. However, this duration may vary depending on the individual recovery process.

To give you some inspiration, we would like to share the real-life experience of our founder. He underwent two limb lengthening surgeries and successfully returned to his normal life. You can visit his YouTube channel, where he shares his journey, experiences, and valuable insights about the process.

Before undergoing limb lengthening surgery, it is essential for patients to prepare themselves both financially and psychologically. While financial matters can be arranged relatively easily, mental preparation may not be as straightforward.

At Wannabetaller®, our specialist psychotherapist provides psychological counseling prior to surgery. The purpose of this service is to clearly identify patients’ expectations after surgery and to determine whether those expectations are realistic.

This support is not limited to the pre-operative stage. Since limb lengthening is a major surgery, patients may also face psychological challenges during recovery. For this reason, we continue to offer counseling post-surgery to ensure the process progresses in the healthiest way possible.

👉 Please visit our Additional Services page for more details.

During the limb lengthening process, one of the most crucial factors is undoubtedly nutrition. Psychological challenges throughout the treatment may lead to unhealthy eating habits, which can negatively affect your overall health.

At Wannabetaller®, we provide a dietitian service so that our patients’ nutritional routines can be regularly monitored. Our dietitian meets with patients twice a month to review their diet plans and ensure that their recovery continues in the healthiest way possible.

👉 Please visit our Additional Services page for more details.
