Limb lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves extending the bones in the limbs, typically the legs. This can be done to correct limb length discrepancies due to congenital conditions, injuries, or other diseases. It is also pursued by some individuals for cosmetic reasons to increase their height. Thailand offers high-quality medical facilities with experienced orthopedic surgeons who have specialized in limb lengthening procedures. Patients from around the world are drawn to Thailand for its affordable healthcare services without compromising on the quality of care.
Prior to undergoing limb lengthening in Thailand, patients should undergo a thorough evaluation including a physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays to assess the condition of the bones. It is crucial to discuss the goals of the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes with the surgeon. When choosing a medical facility or surgeon in Thailand, consider factors like the surgeon's experience in limb lengthening, language proficiency, and hospital accreditation.
The limb lengthening procedure involves surgically cutting the bones and gradually pulling them apart at a controlled rate to allow new bone to form in the gap. This is done using external or internal devices. The lengthening phase is followed by a consolidation phase where the new bone hardens. Post-surgery, patients typically need to stay in the hospital for a few days and then continue with physical therapy to regain strength and mobility. The entire process, including the consolidation phase, can take several months to a year.
The cost of limb lengthening in Thailand typically ranges from $30,000 to $40,000, depending on the technique used and the extent of lengthening required. This price includes any necessary overnight hospital stays required for the procedure.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health anymore!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.
The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.
I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
