Will i ever hit my growth spurt? i'm already done with puberty and i haven't grown taller.

Platform shoes: At a listed age of 44, there is no way to "grow" taller.If you are asking for someone else,the growth centers that determine linear growth close after adolescence, at 16-17 in most females and 18 in most males.After closure, you can not grow taller.
