What is the best surgical type/technique bone elongation for 26 y/o man complaining of short stature (his hight 158 cm and want to be 163 cm minimum)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an orthopedic surgeon: who would honestly advise you, to my knowledge there is no such surgical procedure to make you taller at your age, wearing high heals would be an option, good luck
