Perhaps not. Having said that, If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.
1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2. Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Good luck

Yes. Your biological age doesn't have to correspond with your real age. This means that your bones can still grow after turning 18 because your growth cycle may have started late. You can have the bone structure of a 16 year old even though you're 18. However, you're probably going to stop growing before you turn 20.

i am short.... not quite five ft.... I was a little over four ft eight inches when I graduated high school... I married and had three little ones... I grew an inch with each, so I finally hit four eleven and a HALF at age 26 when the last one was born... so you can continue to grow even past 18 OR 20........!!........(those pregnancy vitamins are doozies!!... *smile*)
