How can i make my legs grow longer after puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't : Once puberty is over, the bone growth plates are closed. That means no more growth. The only way to increase your leg length is by surgery. This is a cosmetic procedure with many complications. I would suggest that you don't persue this option. Why are you concerned? Maybe you should discuss body dysmorphism with your doctor.

Hi, I am a freshman at highschool and I have not started puberty and i think that is a problem. I have no underarm hair, leg hair, or facial hair. My penis is 2 1/2 inches erect and it makes me have very low confidence.
I have these thread-like veins appearing all over my legs and I am only 16 years old. I exercise every day and eat healthy. Could puberty be causing these veins? Will they go away on their own?
