I'm 19, and my body is quite flexible. can my height increase by 4-6 inches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're likely done: Boys are typically done growing by the time of their later teen years. If you're a shaving male you are likely well past growth because your growth plates are fused closed. Once growth plates fuse, growth in height is no longer possible.
