Introducing HeightRx at the International Center for Limb Lengthening

As part of the renowned International Center for Limb Lengthening, HeightRx helps men who are unhappy with their stature achieve the lifelong goal of becoming taller.

To ensure an optimal outcome, Dr. Assayag pursues the safest route possible using the latest orthopedic techniques. As one of the most experienced limb lengthening surgeons in the U.S., he has helped to pioneer implantable devices like the Precice Nails.

Throughout the years, this has reinforced his passion for innovative solutions that put patients first.

In addition to cosmetic height enhancement, Dr. Assayag offers treatment for patients with complex orthopedic conditions, including reconstructive procedures for bone defects, limb deformities and osteomyelitis, as well as bowleg and knock knee correction. He can also revise bone lengthening procedures performed by surgeons with less orthopedic experience, providing superior results that are safer and more effective than ever.
