Brief Answer:
Yes, arms can be lengthened by ilizarov technique.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Yes in today's era its possible to lengthened your arms with the help of Ilizarov technique.

Its very effective technique, in ilizarov technique the length of limb is increased through controlled and mechanically applied tension stress by Ilizarov apparatus .This apparatus is a type of external fixation used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or reshape limb bones.

But I want to say that don't compare your body with other people, god has given different physique to different people i.e no two individuals are same on this earth and no body is perfect on this earth.

The main thing is you must have confidence in yourself. If your arms does not pose you any problem except the cosmetic problem then you should try to avoid any type of medication or surgery and remain happy with what you have.

Now if you still want to lengthen your arms ilizarov is the best technique in this era and many orthopedic doctors are trained in this technique even in your country.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
