Height lengthening, or growing taller, is a relatively new concept; however, it has been performed successfully for over 50 years. The procedure involves a surgical cut in the leg and/or thigh bones through a minimally invasive technique in order to allow lengthening or correction of any deformities in the legs. A Russian surgeon named Gavriil Ilizarov developed this concept in the 1950s, and the technique has since been dramatically improved by surgeons from around the world to allow fewer complications and faster recovery time. Dr. Shahab Mahboubian is continuing this further for the betterment of the society.
