THE DETAILS

PATIENT CONSULTATION –

The process to become a patient begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Debiparshad, conducted online through a video chat or in-person, to answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure and to determine if you are a suitable candidate. Your medical history will be evaluated, as well as your goals and expectations. An additional in-person consultation at our practice in Las Vegas is then scheduled where a complete physical exam and radiographic imaging is conducted to determine final candidacy.

Limb-Lengthening Surgery –

PRE-SURGERY


Prior to surgery your current medical condition will be evaluated, and recommendations will be made to ensure the best possible surgical outcomes. We will provide detailed, individually tailored recommendations for diet, that may include recommendations for supplementation, and exercise regimens that promote flexibility and optimal healing.

SURGERY


The LimbplastX surgical procedure is minimal invasive and can generally be accomplished with one 1-inch incision and three ½ inch incisions for femur lengthening. Tibia lengthening requires two additional small incisions to implant the device. Surgical time to perform the procedure is approximately one hour for both limbs. During the cosmetic height surgery PRECICE implant nails are placed into the intermedullary canal (hollow inner part of bone). After the procedure the implanted device will respond to a remote control to gradually lengthen the bone. This bone lengthening process is usually painless.

POST-SURGERY


After surgery patients remain in the hospital for a two-day admission and are monitored by trained nursing staff. A specialized physical therapist will make daily visits to begin physical therapy and to assist with the start of the lengthening phase of the procedure if approved by Dr. Debiparshad.

PHYSICAL THERAPY & LENGTHENING PHASE –

After discharge from the hospital, patients are transferred to nearby, residential accommodations and continue with the lengthening phase of the procedure. The lengthening phase will continue until the desired lengthening has been achieved. Approximately 25 days for every inch of lengthening is required for femurs and 32 days per inch for tibias. Patients will also undergo physical therapy five to six days per week for a minimum of one hour a day. Patients may leave the Las Vegas area approximately two weeks after surgery if adequate physical therapy treatments are available where they reside and if they are able to return for mandatory follow up visits.

HEIGHT REALIZATION –

Once the desired length/height has been achieved then the lengthening phase is stopped, and the consolidation phase begins. The newly regenerated bone will begin to fully harden and weight bearing restrictions must be adhered to until follow up x-rays confirm that normal walking and weight bearing activities can be safely resumed. Patients should continue with prescribed physical therapy regimens as well as dietary and supplement recommendations.

Limb Lengthening Surgeon Makes You Taller

Dr. Kevin Debiparshad, limb lengthening surgeon with LimbplastX in Las Vegas, can make you taller. While limb lengthening has existed for nearly a hundred years and can help patients grow taller by up to 6 inches in height, only a few surgeons offer it cosmetically. Although the “minimally invasive” procedure does involve the breaking of bones and insertion of an implant, it’s “otherwise painless” before and after, says the surgeon.

KEVIN DEBIPARSHAD, M.D.

Dr. Kevin Debiparshad, a Harvard-trained surgeon, is an orthopedic surgery specialist who has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading limb lengthening surgeons. His practice, The LimbplastX Institute, uses the most innovative technology and advanced techniques to help patients realize their ideal stature.


That fascination grew into a passion as he continued to pursue advances in bone lengthening while researching new technologies evolving in those fields. With new advances in medical science, clinical experience and minimally invasive surgical techniques a new era in cosmetic surgery emerged. As a witness to the great success of patients undergoing these stature lengthening procedures, Dr. Debiparshad founded The LimbplastX Institute.

Dr. Debiparshad has been trained at some of the finest medical schools and institutions in North America. He received his medical degree from the prestigious McGill University where he found his passion for the field of surgery, leading to a master’s degree in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGill University. He is dual board certified in the United States and Canada.


After residency, Dr. Debiparshad completed a fellowship in complex limb lengthening and deformity reconstruction at the Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute. He developed a special interest in adult limb lengthening, non-unions and post-traumatic deformities, a skill set that very few surgeons possess anywhere in the world.


Additionally, Dr. Debiparshad’s belief in humanitarian efforts has led him to participate in mission trips to areas deprived of much needed surgical care. He is a member of the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, North American Spine Society and the American Medical Association. 

I believe everyone has the right to achieve everything they believe they need or desire. I am honored to possess the skills and technology to help them achieve those personal goals and realize their ambitions
