can I get taller if am more than 21 years of age??

Answer 1

i think your growing years are over...but you can always drink milk and improve your bone structure and who knows you might grow a few inches.

Answer 2

Of course you can, but this is only achieved through surgery..
Bone lengthening procedures are now well established all over the world but are not yet very popular as cosmetics surgery, usually limb length equalization is the goal of using these complicated procedures when they are used and applied on the shorter side to make it equal in length.
I am an orthopedic surgeon and I practiced those procedures and the maximum I was able to achieve on a male patient was 9 inches (22-23 cm) bilateral lengthening that is to say the guy was taller by 9 inches isn't that great?

Answer 3

It's not so much affected by age as it is by sexual maturity (physical development, not experience).

Growth does not necessarily completely stop after sexual maturity is first reached, but it does slow down significantly. By the time you reach sexual maturity you will have attained most of your adult height. During puberty, the progression of sexual maturation is rated on a scale (Sexual Maturity Rating or SMR) from 1 to 5, based on physical examination. For girls there is a reasonably well-defined end point called “menarche” (the first menstrual period). This may occur shortly before full sexual maturity at what we call SMR4 (SMR5 is full sexual maturity). The peak growth velocity (most rapid growth) occurs before menarche, but girls may still add some height, as much as two inches, over the next two years.

For boys there isn’t such a clear end point, but full sexual maturity (SMR5) occurs when the testicles are adult size and pubic hair covers the entire pubic area and may extend down the inner thighs. Again there may be some small additional growth in height after you first reach this stage of development, but the peak rate of growth has passed. You doctor can examine you and explain what SMR level you have reached. And in case you are wondering, in this context “sexual maturity” has nothing to do with sexual activity or experience, only with physical changes in your body.

Answer 4

Some men keep growing a little until they are 24. But by 21, most if not all of your growing is done.

Answer 5

Ask your parents - did either of them grow after that age. My father claimed that he grew 2 inches in college. My brother and one sister both matured late 18-20, if it is in the family history it may happen to you.

Answer 6

No, your growth phase is done and that's it. You got what you had for your genes and diet and exercise.
