Question 43: What Is the Most Common Mistake During the Lengthening Phase❓

The biggest mistake patients make is underestimating the importance of daily stretching and physiotherapy. Consistent mobility work is essential to keep muscles flexible and prevent tightness as the bones lengthen. When stretching is skipped or not done correctly, it can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and slower progress.

Another common issue is lengthening too fast or too slow without following medical guidance. The ideal pace is crucial for healthy bone growth and overall safety.

With commitment to the recommended exercises and careful adherence to the prescribed lengthening speed, patients can achieve smooth, steady progress throughout the journey.

Question 42: What Happens if I Lengthen at the Wrong Speed❓

The speed of lengthening is one of the most important factors for a safe and successful outcome. If you lengthen too quickly, the bone and soft tissues may not keep up, which can lead to muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or delayed bone formation. Lengthening too slowly can also affect bone regeneration and may prolong the entire process unnecessarily.

With the BETZBONE system, your progress is closely monitored through regular check-ups and X-rays to ensure the ideal pace is maintained. If an adjustment is ever needed, our team will guide you immediately. Staying consistent and following the recommended speed is key to healthy bone growth and a smooth recovery.

Question 41: Is There a Maximum Age for Limb Lengthening? 🧬

There is no strict upper age limit for cosmetic limb lengthening at the Becker Betz Institute. What matters most is your overall health, bone quality, and ability to heal.

Each patient is individually assessed through consultations, simulations, and X-rays to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for their unique situation. As long as your bones and general condition support proper healing, age alone does not disqualify you.

Our minimally invasive approach and personalized treatment plans help patients of many different ages achieve their goals safely.

Question 40: When Can I Start Driving Again After Surgery? 🚗

Most patients can begin driving again about 4 weeks after leg lengthening surgery, depending on a few important factors. Automatic or electric cars are recommended, since using a manual gearbox is not realistic during the early recovery phase.

You must also be completely off strong pain medication, as these affect alertness and make driving unsafe. As your mobility and comfort continue to improve, your biomechanics will allow safe driving again.

Always listen to your body and follow your medical guidance before getting back on the road.
