Can Height Be Increased After The Age Of 25?
Question: Hello,doctor... I am 25year old boy.. Can I increase my height now... Pls and me.Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Increase in height is possible only through surgical methods
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. ,
Thanks for your query.
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 19-22 yrs in males.
You are already 25 years old; there is a less chance of increasing your height normally.
Increase in height is possible only through surgical methods;
Surgical correction requires time and it may take around 6 months to 9 months to complete whole process. It may involve 2 to 3 surgical steps.
You can also consult at my hospital for further details.
You can do few yoga to stretch spine and eat more protein for health.
One more thing, kindly avoid getting influenced by any advertisement or over the counter medication which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height. It may be harmful.
