I want to grow little bit taller like about 180 cm. is it possible to grow after 18 yrs old?

You are likely done: If you entered puberty the same time as your friends and your bone maturity is that of a 18 yo there is little you can do to increase your height.A single x-ray of your left hand can be assessed for bone maturity.If 18, you are done growing, if bony maturity is more like 15 you might grow an additional couple of inches, not 5.If your growth centers r closed you are done.
