Brief Answer:
Nil chances...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Height stops to grow beyond 20 - 25 years. The growing ends of long bones and the spine ceases which halts the growth. So, there is no chance of height increase after 35 years.

Hope this answered your question.

Thanks Doctor. Please advise whether 5 feet 6 inch is short or good height for a male. Can person of this height look great in suit.

Brief Answer:
Not short...

Detailed Answer:
Average XXXXXXX men are about 164.5 cm which is about 5 feel 4.8 inches tall. Accordingly your height of 5 feel 6 inch is definitely not short. I would say, about 50 -60 % males in XXXXXXX are of this height. So you shouldn't be worried about your height.

As far as looks in suit is concerned, it doesn't depend on height. What is important is your personality, attitude and confidence.

Hope this suffices.
