Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about your concerns with regards to height. At 22 years old, all the bones that are responsible for growing to increase height have all stopped growing. This means your height is final and there is very little chance that you would grow any taller. I understand this may not be the best news for you but accepting your height and being happy with is the best way to go.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification.
