A member asked:

Is it possible to gain height after 20 for a girl? if it is ,then will you please kindly describe the procedure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You cannot: As a 20 year old female, your growth is likely done and your bones growth plates closed. There are no supplements or hormones you could take that are going to make a difference at this point in time. You need to accept where you are at and get on with living your life at your current stature.
