Unlikely to happen: At 19 the growth centers in your bones have likely closed so no more linear growth is expected.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of the wrist/hand can be analysed for bone maturity & tell if the growth centers remain open to new growth. A bone maturity more consistent with age 14 would leave some room for growth.
