Japan to India: A Successful Limb Lengthening Story

Native Country: Japan

Treatment: Limb Lengthening Surgery

Hospital: Fortis Hospital, Shalimarbagh, Delhi

Doctor: Dr. Manoj Mighlani

From an early age, a patient from Japan felt the weight of being shorter than his peers. He also felt overlooked, not just socially but also professionally and emotionally. He had a hidden desire to increase height, not just as a vanity but as a way to get confidence, self-worth, and the feeling of finally being at peace with his own body.

After constant and extensive research, he found out that limb lengthening surgery would be the best procedure for him. Related to that, he read several success stories and once again determined his will to undergo the treatment. While choosing the best destination, he set his sights on India, known for its advanced orthopaedic care and experienced surgical teams.

While exploring options online, he came across Medsurge India, a leading medical travel assistance company. After reaching out to us and sharing his situation, our team took the time to understand his emotions and goals. Recognising the importance of his decision, our team promptly connected him with Dr. Manoj Miglani, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi. 

A dedicated case manager coordinated all logistics, including airport pickup, hospital transport, and daily assistance, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience throughout his medical journey. This level of personalised service gave him the confidence to move forward. 

Placing his trust in Medsurge India, he travelled to Delhi to undergo the limb lengthening surgery. During his initial meeting, Dr. Manoj Miglani explained the procedure in detail, including the expected recovery timeline and necessary precautions.

The surgery was a success. He stayed in India for three months for recovery and rehabilitation, receiving consistent medical care and support throughout. Over the following months, he gained about 7 centimeters, increasing his height from 164 cm to 171 cm.

Today, he reflects on his journey with gratitude.

“Medsurge India didn’t just help me get taller—they helped me change my life. From managing all the paperwork and logistics to checking on me daily, they treated me like family.”

His story is a powerful testament to hope and the incredible possibilities that arise from expert care and unwavering determination.
