Firstly there is no fail safe method of increasing your height surgically. There are methods but none of them are recommended for what is essentially a cosmetic issue. The risk of complications to attempt something like that is huge.
Next Steps
Please see an Endocrinologist, to assess if there is a medical cause for you looking like a small kid. If there are no hormonal deficiencies then maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise may help you look more matured.

Hi there...Exercise at least five times per week. By using exercises that help with gaining height, you will naturally increase the level of growth hormones in your body. Certain weight training exercises, high intensity sprints and bar hanging can help you achieve this. you must strengthen your abdominal and back muscles first to get the most out of your exercises...Eat a healthy diet. you have to eat more foods high in amino acids to help increase the levels of human growth hormones in your body. Adding calcium, zinc, iron, copper and magnesium to your diet can help you increase these levels as well...Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.
