About Wanna Be Taller
Behind the Wanna Be Taller brand is Yunus Öç, MD, Assoc. Prof., an orthopedic trauma surgeon who operates inside BHT Clinic Tema Hospital in Istanbul. Methods listed are LON and PRECICE 2; his own procedure list also includes Fitbone and revision of earlier lengthening. The practice states more than 650 cases over ten-plus years, a self-reported figure, and the same surgeon also markets through a second brand, drheight.com.
Clinic-published pricing runs $26,400 to $58,000, but physiotherapy is not in the base package. It is sold inside optional three-month accommodation packages of roughly $6,750 to $10,900, and whether rehab is in-house or referred out is not confirmed. No accreditations are recorded. As of May 2026 the website still referenced the PRECICE Stryde nail, subject to a 2021 FDA Class II recall; ask whether it is still implanted. International patients, the main clientele, get concierge, translation and accommodation help.
Stryde removed from method list (FDA Class II recall active since Feb 2021). Dr. Öç also operates a second patient-facing brand at drheight.com targeting international height-surgery searches; same surgeon, same Istanbul practice. [2026-05-20] Clinic website still references PRECICE Stryde despite the FDA Class II recall of February 2021. Confirm whether they still implant this device or whether it is legacy/historical mention. Website is blocked for visitors in Turkey (wannabetaller.com is confirmed BLOCKED BY TURKISH COURT ORDER: fetching it (bypassing the self-signed cert) returns an explicit bilingual bl) but reachable from other countries (checked 2026-09-11).
