Height reduction surgery is a medical procedure that has been increasingly gaining interest in recent years, originating from individuals' desire for significant changes in their physical appearance. This surgery aims to shorten a person’s height by a certain amount and is often chosen for aesthetic concerns or medical reasons. The implementation of the procedure requires a high level of expertise and a meticulous preliminary preparation process. As for pricing, variations occur depending on the country and institution where the surgery is performed. These pricing considerations include the complexity of the surgery, the diversity of necessary medical interventions, and the quality of services provided by the chosen healthcare institution. In this article, we, the Medzonia team, will discuss the general procedures and pricing of height reduction surgery, which we have been performing for 2 years.

If you stay beyond the legal 90-day period, you might have to pay a fine ranging from 100 to 400 USD at the airport, depending on your nationality and the duration of the overstay. Therefore, it's advisable to budget an additional 5,000 to 8,000$ for these expenses.
Process of Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is one of the most crucial factors for the successful completion of the bone healing process of patients. Therefore, our doctor requests that patients stay in Turkey for approximately 2-3 months after surgery to ensure that their physical therapy sessions are conducted without interruption and to personally monitor the patient's bone healing process closely. This requirement stems from the fact that the surgery impacts the muscles surrounding the femur and tibia, altering their lengths. Physical therapy is essential at this stage to adjust to these changes and foster a positive recovery. Our dedicated physiotherapists engage closely with our patients, guiding them through exercises and instructing them on vital stretches, as well as muscle and joint maneuvers. It's imperative for patients to adhere to these exercise routines consistently to avoid potential complications such as joint stiffness, muscle contractures, or imbalances.
