I'm really interested in this height increase surgery since I'm only 158 cm tall and want to grow taller. Can you tell me if it's safe and which doctor I should see for it? Also, at what age would it be safest and most effective for me? I'd appreciate your advice on this.

The total recommended lengthening is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur). Lengthening more than 3 inches in one bone is associated with higher complication rates, and our doctors put patient safety first
