About Height Lengthening
Are you tired of being short? Do you feel self-conscious about your height in everyday situations to the point where your happiness is being compromised? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are not alone.
Height lengthening is a surgery that increases the length of the long bones of the leg. This procedure can be done on the femur (thigh) and/or on the tibia (shin). Today’s height lengthening technology is far more advanced than what was started in the U.S. back in the 1950’s. Cosmetic height lengthening can help you grow taller – by up to 6 more inches! You no longer have to suffer from anxiety, unhappiness, distress, and low self-esteem because of your height.
We are the leader in height lengthening surgery and leg deformity correction. Being short or having limb deformities are the two major reasons why people want to have this procedure.

Dr. Shahab Mahboubian, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in Height Lengthening surgeries, can help you to improve your body image, your self-confidence and ultimately make a positive impact on your life as a whole.
Height enhancement surgery, also known as “Cosmetic Limb Lengthening”, is something that used to be reserved for those who had genetic anomalies causing an abnormally short stature such as dwarfism or those who have severe deformities. However, more and more practitioners of the surgery have begun offering it as an alternative procedure for those who are simply unhappy with their height.
