Height problems

2022-03-20 07:16:16
I'm a 23-years-old man, the only thing I've ever wanted is to get taller, my height is now 165 cm. I need at least 15 cm plus. Can you help me to get taller? I'm really ashamed of my height.

The epiphyseal plates close at around 17 years. So there is no scope to increase your height at 23 years atleast naturally

you can consult an orthopaedic surgeon for illiizarov procedure. however it would be better to embrace your height. there are many people who have the same height and are doing really well I hope this helps you out
