First of all, if your response is going to be something along the lines of "Don't worry about it, you're fine the way you are" or "It's impossible, don't bother trying" or "Just learn to accept yourself the way you are", please save it because I don't want to hear it.
What I want to know is, have any of you ever heard of any SUCCESSFUL methods of getting taller? If so, please share.
Keep in mind I want to make my LEGS longer, not my torso. Also, I don't want to end up bulking up my body...I just want my leg bones to be a couple inches longer.

Oh by the way I'm 20 and 5'7". I know that's already above average, but even a few more inches in height would be delightful.

There's no way that you can be taller, but you can look taller by knowing what to wear. Choosing the jeans style is very important. If you have short legs and you are wearing a low rise jeans, of course you are going to look shorter. So, choosing the right clothes is very important. Also, you can try exercising your legs to make them look leaner and longer. Don't lift too many weights, try flex exercises such as Pitates or Yoga.

There is no way to make your legs longer short of surgery. I really don't think any reputable plastic surgeon would even attempt to do this. I'm 6 foot 7 inches tall and believe me, there are times I wish I were short. I get tired of cracking my head on doorways. I wish there was something better I could tell you but there isn't anything you can take to just lengthen your legs. If you were to take something like human growth hormone, your whole body would grow. You can't just pick an area and have it grow. Believe me, guys would be lining up for that one. LOL

My cousin's cousin is like 7 feet tall. There's nobody tall in his family. But he used to eat alot of McDonald's Big Mac when we were younger. I'm really surprised that he's not even fat but very tall. Its very odd for people not becoming fat but taller.
That is one option only with care and watching how much you eat. That is only option I know. Its uncommon unheard of.
Other is like when you sleep, you are taller than when you are walking/standing around. That's only ways I have heard and seen.

If so, probably not naturally or in a safe way. Have you seen Nip Tuck; even if they do have a procedure for it, you could be living with a significant amount of pain after.

Okay I won't say anything...
Tie your feet to your foot board at night while you sleep.
