Height is mostly decided by genetics If you are very much smaller than the average height for your parents then consult a physician for general checkup

If your growth plates have closed, you won't grow any further. There are a few surgeries that would help you grow a few inches taller. But you need to consider the risks and complications before going for the procedure. A thorough understanding of the complications is necessary by you and your family members.
