Dr. Joseph Mathews answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Endocrinology

After puberty: The long bones fuse and can no longer grow to increase your height. Using a shoe lift is an option to appear taller. If you have not gone through puberty yet, than it is still possible to continue to grow in height. Assuring proper nutrition, vitamins and healthy lifestyle can help.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
