Unlikely: At 24 years old your growth plate (an area in your bones) is very much likely closed. Ads, unfortunately claim things are are not medically possible and sometimes engage patients on risky procedures or medications. 5 6" is not a very short stature after all. Think of all the successful people out there who are very short! good luck.

I am currently 19 and feel as if I have been the same height since I was 14. I think I may have hit puberty a little late as I did not ejaculate from masturbation until the end of 8th grade when I was about 14. Is it still possible to grow taller?

How many inches in height does a male grow during puberty? I heard that on average, males grow 12 inches in height. But those who start early puberty, should grow 14 inches. I had early puberty, but only grew 10.5 inches. Does this mean I was stunted
