A member asked:

Doctor my hieght is 6 feet 5 inchs is there any surgery available to reduce height

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: As you age, your height will begin to decrease naturally. At adulthood there is little you can do to inhibit growth, as your musculoskeletal system has completed its linear growth.
