Since the Iliazov method which has been innovated in the 50s, there existed no possibility for height increase through medicines or non-surgical operation as a result of closing down the growth plate in limbs and spinal column. The first operation on height increase has successfully been performed in 1951. For years, this method has been carried out in the former Soviet Unions. After the collapse of Soviet Unions, immediately the other countries became aware of this method and widely used it.

After years, the main method has not been changed, but advanced technologies made the stages of operation easier than it did.

 

Nowadays, due to the patient's condition, there exist two different methods, which can be applicable.

In the first method, an apparatus will be installed in both legs and causes one millimeter height growth per day. As an example, if someone would like to have six centimeters height increase, treatment takes sixty days. Afterwards, the external part of the apparatus will be removed and the internal part would remain activated till the completeness of bone marrow density.

Usually two days after the operation, the patient would be able to walk and perform his daily affairs. It is worthy to mention that based on the patients' condition, the results would be different from each other.

In the second method, no external part of the apparatus would be installed and the physical movement's limitations would be less than the first method. The same as the first one, the height increase will be one millimeter per day.
 

The following notes must be taken into consideration:

1.Knee's deviations can be treated.

2.There exist no age limitations for patients, but it is not recommended for the people over 45 years old.

3. During the treatment, muscle tensions, resulted from the proper sports play an important role to reach to a desired level.

4. The patient confines to bed for one or two days.

5. Based on the past 50 years of experiments, the additional bones, which resulted from the operation, are in normal positions and cause no feeling weakness.

6.The level of height increase is to be defined based on the patient's condition of body skeleton.

7. This operation should not be considered as a subsidiary operation; thus during the period of treatment there is no possibility to be present at the work office.
