Possibly: Depending on the status of your bone maturity you may have more growth possible or may be done growing. An x-ray of your left hand and wrist can be analysed for bone age, which is a maturity index.If it is more like a 15 yo then you have more growth potential than if it reads out 18. At 18, little extra growth would be expected.
