Hi! i wanted to ask if there is a way to decrease height without surgery and do height decreasing sublimimals work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no natural, healthy way to lose height. One's primary care doctor can check to see if there is a medical disorder causing excessive height. Realize that height can be relative. That means a woman who is 6 feet tall would feel of normal height if most of the other women in the community are also about 6 feet tall.
