LiveLifeTaller | Limb Lengthening Surgery in Turkey Avis 40

Bu kuruma kesinlikle güvenmemelisiniz.
İyi hastalarını reklam edip sakatlık yaşayıp yürüyemeyenleri saklayan ve tek amaçları daha fazla para olan bir şirket. Kızım burada ameliyat oldu ve 2.5 senedir 10 ameliyat oldu. Fakat halen YÜRÜYEMİYOR. Onun için çok tedirginim ve üzgünüm. Bu ameliyatı tıbbın etik kurallarına uyan uzman bir doktorda olmalısınız. İlgisiz bir doktordu ve bizi yıprattı.

2.5 senedir 10. ameliyatımı olmama rağmen hâlâ yürüyemiyorum. Ameliyatlardan sonra yürümemi engelleyen sorunların hepsini ben fark edip dile getirdim. Doktor ben miyim ki sorunları ben tespit ediyorum?? Kontroller herzaman benim ısrarımla yapıldı. Her ameliyattan sonra ‘hocam bacağımda bir gariplik var, bir sorun hissediyorum’ diyerek kontrol ve röntgen istemekten gerçekten yoruldum. Süreç boyunca düzenli bir takip olduğunu söyleyemem. Ve en sonunda sağ bacağımda 4 tane komplikasyonla artık burada sağlığıma kavuşamayacağımı anlayıp ayrıldım. Bu komplikasyonlar: Femoral retroversiyon 45 derece, koksa vara, 2 cm kısalık ve sağ tibiada dışa dönüklük. Şuanda tedavime başka bir doktorda devam etmek mecburiyetinde kaldım. Yaşadıklarımla ilgili bu yazdıklarıma, hasta hatası, ihmali ve ya ihlalde bulunduğuma dair bir ithâmla yanıt verirlerse bilin ki böyle bir durum gerçek değildir. Onların talimatlarına uygun bir süreç yönettim, sonuç hüsran. Bu yaşadıklarımın komplikasyon olmadığına da eminim. Ayrıca Halil Buldu ameliyatlardan birinde gizlice bana kısaltma yapmış ve bunu inkar edip yalanladı. Sadece reklamlara bakarak karar vermeyin,reklamlar sadece en iyi hastaların gösterildiği iyi bir pazaralama tekniğinidir. Bu çok hayati ve büyük bir ameliyat. Acele karar vermeyin. Benim yaşadığım gibi zaman kaybı ve ekonomik kayıplar ve fiziksel acılar yaşamamak için alanında uzman ve süreci titizlikle takip eden bir hekim seçmenizi öneririm. Bir de firma kaynamama durumunda yapmanız gereken ek ödemelerin baştan saklıyor, bu da can sıkıcı bir durumdu. Bir işe cıkıyorsak herşey en baştan konuşulmalı ve anlatılmalıdır. Süreç içinde insanlar ödeme yapmaya mecbur bırakılmamlıdır!!!

I had a truly life-changing experience with LLT Clinic. Dr. Halil performed my lower limb lengthening surgery, and I’m very grateful for his expertise, precision, and dedication throughout the entire process. From the first consultation to the post-operative care, I always felt I was in the hands of a highly skilled and experienced surgeon.
I would also like to sincerely thank Mr. Sedat, the owner of the clinic, for his constant support, professionalism, and genuine care for patients. His leadership is clearly reflected in the quality and organization of the clinic.
The physiotherapy team has been exceptional, especially Tuğçe, whose patience, encouragement, and professionalism made a huge difference in my recovery. The entire rehabilitation staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly committed to patient progress.
I also want to acknowledge the nurses, caregivers, kitchen staff, and all support personnel. Everyone contributes to a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, and their kindness and dedication never go unnoticed.
LLT Clinic provides not only advanced medical treatment but also compassionate, comprehensive care. I highly recommend LLT Clinic to anyone considering limb lengthening or orthopedic treatment.

I underwent two surgeries for my tibia (8.1 cm) and femur (6.6 cm) for a total of 14.7 cm, which was performed by Dr, Halil head orthopedic surgeon at LLT. My experience at the center from Sedat to the following supporting staff, medical team, physical therapist, transportation team, food service, house cleaning services, security staff and administrative staff were all generous and supportive throughout my stay which made me feel good knowing I was always in good hands. I’m presently in the recovery phase and looking forward to the future knowing if I need anything they will always be there for me. I highly recommend LLT center because of their professionalism and dedication to each and every patient that undertakes this journey!

Live life DISABLED MORE LIKE! If I could give them minus numbers I would. They are a nightmare and bunch of cowboys. They operated on me 3 years ago and both pins failed, and they blamed me after I followed there instructions and then when they finally said they would take some responsibly they asked for another 30 thousand pounds ontop of the 60 thousand pounds I already paid. They should not be called live life taller they should be called live life DISABLED!!

I am a patient myself and have been operated on nine times so far for a failed femur surgery. Shortly after the operation, a lot of pus came out of the left femur with very severe pain,then I was operated. After three months, my nail broke and underwent surgery and changed. Later, a screw became loose and loosened, then I was operated on again. Two years after surgery, I still don't have bone union with pain so much that I need opioids. In Germany, doctors have found that I have very bad osteomyelitis and pseudodarthrosis due to Staphylococcus. I was then operated on four times in Germany. That was my own experience from 2022 to now

I underwent limb lengthening surgery at this center, but unfortunately, I suffered serious complications, including urinary tract blockage, bone infections, and failure of new bone formation in my legs. Worst of all, one of my legs became longer than the other, and I still cannot walk to this day, even after almost a year. I urge everyone to be cautious when considering such a procedure and to consult multiple specialists to ensure their safety

This review reflects my personal medical experience with Live Life Taller and the findings documented by multiple orthopedic trauma and limb-reconstruction specialists in the United States. I am sharing this publicly to protect other patients from experiencing what I have gone through.

I underwent bilateral femur lengthening of approximately 8–9 cm at Live Life Taller. I accepted the maximum distraction amount and I take responsibility for that decision. However, the complications that followed were not biological or unpredictable. They were mechanical — confirmed independently by multiple U.S. fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma surgeons at Level-1 academic medical centers who specialize in treating failed distraction osteogenesis and international limb-lengthening complications.

After surgery, regenerate failed to appear not only in the early distraction phase, but throughout the entire distraction process. Serial X-rays for months demonstrated complete absence of callus formation. Despite this, distraction was continued.

When I was evaluated in the United States, every metabolic, hormonal, and bone-health marker was repeated. All results were normal, eliminating biological or metabolic explanations.

Multiple U.S. surgeons reviewed my imaging and later inspected the bone directly during a 10-hour revision surgery. Their documented findings included:
• Zero regenerate formation at any stage
• Persistent micromotion at the osteotomy site
• Sharp bone ends even after months, indicating chronic instability
• Use of a nail diameter mechanically insufficient for the length achieved
• Significant mismatch in nail insertion depths between femurs
• Asymmetric mechanical loading caused by implant positioning
• Stability parameters not consistent with established distraction osteogenesis protocols

These findings were not opinions.
They were objective radiographic measurements and intraoperative observations, confirmed by surgeons who routinely manage global limb-lengthening failures.

Because of these mechanical failures, I now have bilateral non-unions and must undergo a two-stage reconstructive process in the United States:
• Stage 1: A 10-hour revision to remove the initial implant, restore alignment, and insert a stronger intramedullary nail
• Stage 2: Removal of retained cement and bone grafting to rebuild bone that never regenerated

The physical, emotional, and financial impact has been devastating. I live with daily pain, instability, and functional limitations. I have spent far more correcting the complication than I spent on the original procedure.

I want future patients to understand this clearly:

In my case, the complications were not due to biology or individual variability. They were mechanical and preventable.

While I cannot speak for every patient, the outcome in my situation was catastrophic. Anyone considering Live Life Taller should seek multiple independent opinions from orthopedic trauma specialists and understand the mechanical demands of distraction osteogenesis.

⭐ A Personal Note

I also understand that medical systems differ across countries, and some clinics operate with layers of financial or institutional protection. But what many facilities do not realize is that sometimes a person with no power, no influence, and no resources can still stand up — not through money or status, but through truth, integrity, and the strength God gives them.

My intention is not revenge; it is responsibility. My voice comes from principle, not anger. And I will continue to speak openly, honestly, and publicly — because transparency protects future patients.

⸻

⭐ A Final Warning

I strongly advise anyone researching limb-lengthening to avoid Live Life Taller and to conduct extensive independent research. Based on my experience, critical decisions were made that did not prioritize my health or safety, and the consequences were life-changing.

I will also be pursuing every appropriate medical, legal, and public-awareness action available to me.
My goal is simple: to ensure that what happened to me is known, and that no other patient walks into this process without full awareness of the risks.

This review reflects only my own medical journey and the documented findings of the U.S. specialists who treated me.

LLT will always have a special place in my heart. I came here for a correction surgery. Sedat and his whole team to the finance manager to the drivers all treated me like family. Being out of my country for the first time they made me feel safe and welcomed. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone there isn’t anyone like it in the world

I gained 9.27cm at live life taller and I am super grateful for this result. The staff is always with you to help you. Great facility and patient oriented people work there. You feel like at home. Physiotherapy is crucial in this process and LLT has very experienced physiotherapists. After every session I felt refreshed. Worth every penny that I have spent there.

This company lied , I contracted golden staphylococcus and I had to have emergency surgery back in my country . I was told by Sedat that when I come back to fix my leg it will be withbout charge. But Now the operations manager Mesud is saying I have to pay the full price again because because another doctor shorten my leg. I have all the medical evidence showing the metal ware was the reason for the infection. I will be taking legal action now .

Have nothing but great things to say about LiveLifeTaller. Very welcoming and warm environment. This by no means are easy surgeries to accomplish. So it’s helpful to have a supportive team behind you. Dr. Halil is an amazing surgeon, much love and highly recommend.

I had a very disappointing and painful experience with Dr. Halil Buldu in Turkey. After my surgery, I faced many complications, including non union on femur bone which lead to more complicated surgery and more cost, also i had issues in precise nail not working properly, which lead to other surgery to change the nail Just one month after the initial surgery, I had to undergo another operation to fix the problem. Unfortunately, I later had to go through a third surgery to replace the nail.

What made the situation even worse was the lack of proper follow-up and care from the doctor. I felt neglected throughout the process, and the complications could have been minimized with better medical attention. This experience caused me a lot of physical pain, emotional distress, and financial loss.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a safe and professional medical experience. Be very careful when choosing your surgeon, as proper care and follow-up are just as important as the surgery itself.

Finally, one of my dreams came true because of Live Life Taller. They took care of me from Day one to last day untill I get to the airport with the wheel chair service.Thanks to Dr. Halil, Sedat and the whole teams of LLT. I gained 13.5 cm with quadrilateral hybrid in 3 months. Dr. Halil is the best doctor I have ever seen in limb lengthening, I can even walk without assistance within 2 week after the nails exchange and fixator removal. I’m grateful and thankful to live life taller for full filling my dream

I had surgery on the femur LON a while ago, and had a great experience at LLT, the people who worked there were incredibly nice people, who worked hard. I did not experience the surgery as painful; I had the pain when I came from about 2.5 cm in the lengthening process, but that is muscle and nerve pain. When I got home, I had a quick recovery in one foot, but the other I could not build strength in, and the bone healing was poor, which meant that I also walked poorly. Unfortunately, I postponed this problem for too long, my physiotherapist at LLT, Halil and Sedat asked me to come down to have the nail changed, but the physiotherapist here at home thought this was just nonsense. And for a while I listened to him. But eventually I went down and changed the nail. And the day after the surgery I walked normally, and everything has worked out. I have had great experiences with LLT and many good memories. And I would do this again, the feeling of having become taller is indescribable, but it is fantastic. For me they all from the doctor, physiotherapists, kitchen staff, nurses, drivers and others who worked there were always nice and very helpful. If you want to get taller I recommend LLT!

I was severely depressed with my height for a long time and livelifetaller helped me to finally achieve my dream of getting taller. What I liked the most about LLT is their facility. They have everything under one roof. This is something which is not provided by other institutions. Nurses visit patients daily and patients have regular physiotherapy sessions within the facility where they reside during the process.
I did quadrilateral limb lengthening surgery and it was a long and painful process. I made a lot of friends within the facility and hanging out with them in the lobby and gym helped me forget the pain. I would like to thank Sedat for his efforts in managing this place and quick response whenever they needed him for something. Limb lengthening is a serious procedure with a high risk of complications. So, it is important to closely monitor the process especially during the lengthening period. Regular visits from nurses, x-rays every 2 weeks and physiotherapy sessions provided by LLT helped me stay under their radar and manage the pain. I would also like to appreciate the security guards of the facility. They go above and beyond whenever the patients need any help with something such as going to the bathroom, getting in and out of cabs and even food delivery. Overall, I had a great experience. Now I am working towards my recovery and I hope everything goes well for me and all the patients.

I am very happy with Livelifetaller, they were very professional and knowledgeable. My surgery was also successful thanks to Dr Halil and the team. The process to getting taller was incredible difficult and painful, I did not enjoy it at all however the Livelifetaller team including the physio, nurses and everyone made it better. I was able to achieve my goal of getting taller.

So many memories at LLT.
I would say that I really missed the staff. They are the reason why I was able to accomplish this journey.

We all have a dream to be taller, but no pain no gain. It’s a scary surgery and it’s so complex.

The facility has everything you need to accomplish your goal. Food, therapy, medical team, gym, recreational areas, security etc..

I’m 5 months back at home. Recovering ❤️‍🩹 well and small victories every day.

I stay in full contact with the staff while I recover at home. They really care.

Hello to everyone at Live Life Taller.. I can't believe it's been almost a year since my initial surgery. First of all I would like to thank Sedat, Dr. Halil Buldu, the medical team, physiotherapy team, kitchen personnel,
The video & media team, cleaning team as well as security team. Honestly, I was not expecting so much care and attention from everyone there at the Live Life Taller Center. But, that is exactly what I received from everyone! Sedat, does a wonderful job in hiring all this people that make up this great team that's there to help you every step of the way through your journey. My name is Carlos 56 years old and i am a Quadrilateral Hybrid patient. I chose this type of procedure in order to be able to grow as much as possible in a short period of time. My starting height was 177.6cm, my goal was 15cm and I was able to reach 12cm for a final height of 189.6cm. The only complication that I had towards the end of my limb lengthening process was a mild case of bailarina. Overall, it was not an easy process and it was painful at times. But, being on the athletic side most of my life i was able to work through it. The process does require that you get yourself ready for it as you will need to be mentally, physically and emotionally strong! Due, to my height and weight I am currently still going through my recovery. I am able to walking and go up and down stairs unassisted. My bone healing is almost done and soon will be coming back to the Live Life Taller Center for my removal surgery. Honestly, I do recommend this place to anyone looking to do their limb lengthening surgery. This place just has it all is there to back you up in the event that you have any complications. Experience is king and they don't run away.... They are there to help you every step of the way through your journey.....
