Hi, this is Dr. Rajesh.
One thing to be clarified sir,limb lengthening surgery at your age is too complicated and has lot of complications.
Calcium tabs will never increase height but makes bone stronger.
Rightly said sir calcium fills in the gap which was created during the surgery.

No medicine can increase your height without surgery. If you are determined to increase your height then you have to go with limb lengthening surgery. But I also warn you it is not a easy surgery and chance of post operative pain and complications are high.

Hello Practo User,
No medicine in the world can increase height at your age.
Ofcourse surgery is an option,but please study all good and bad effects of undergoing surgical limb lengthening and decide.

I can understand...if if I were in your position, what I could be thinking..
If you ask me ,I would accept what God has given and move on.
But if you have a strong reason to go for this procedure, please understand everything about it and take a decision.

At 39 yrs age it is advised not to undergo even the limb lengthening procedure and no medication is gonna help. Limb length increase is only in rare patients with certain specific problem. Lots of problems associated with the procedure.
