Get Limb Lengthening Surgery in Cambodia

Cambodia is an emerging budget option for limb lengthening surgery, offering prices 60-70% lower than Thailand (from $10,000).

While the country lacks the advanced technology of South Korea or Thailand, a few Phnom Penh clinics now perform basic Ilizarov external fixation procedures for both cosmetic and medical cases.

 

At a glance:

  • Important: Cambodia has no JCI-accredited hospitals for this procedure  

  • Cost: $10,000-$18,000 (cheapest globally)  

  • Surgeons: Typically trained in Vietnam or China  

  • Best For: Budget-focused patients willing to accept higher risks
