Kindly don't attempt to increase your height surgically. Not very safe.

Hi
Limb lengthening surgeries are like any other major surgery. Every surgery has risks. Anaesthesia risks, infections, failure...can all happen. Plus, after a limb lengthening surgery, the post-operative period is important and prolonged. You may need to manage rings and pins sticking out from your limb and clean them daily.
In my opinion, if you do not have any major issue with your limb length, don't go for such a surgery. Be happy with what God has given you.

You will be more happy not going for surgery than getting it done.
Accept what God has given and move ahead.
