Hello Practo User,
Growth of bones stops by the e age of 18.
It mostly hereditary related to genes.
At your age it is not possible to add a few inches by any medical means.
Increasing height by Limb lengthening surgery is associated with high rate of complications.
If I was in your position,I would accept what God has given and move on.
Regards.
