Thank you for your question. Girls usually stop growing in height around 14 years of age or 2 years after achieving their menarche (monthly menstrual periods). There is another option for increasing her height after reaching skeletal maturity (shutting down of growth plates in the long bones). This is called stature lengthening of the long bones. This treatment involves lengthening the long bone

The expected final height of females is the average of the parents less 5cm. Females generally stop growing taller by 3 yrs after first menses. An x-ray of her wrist/hand can be assessed for open growth centers. If open, she can grow taller, if closed, she is done.
