A member asked:
Is there any chance to grow the hight of me than my parents(5'5ft), grandfather and my father's younger brother(6'6ft)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Where are you now?: If you are 4'4' then unlikely, if close to parents' height, you have another few years before growth plates close, and should discuss this concern with your parents and pediatrician to see if eligible for growth hormone based on taller potential in your family tree. Good luck.
