Ps2Huang Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I was born in 1984. I am 21 years old. I heard men are able to grow a few more inches in early 20, is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleAl Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 When your epiphyses seal over you are at your maximum height. Administration of growth hormone thereafter may result in acromegaly but you won't get significantly taller. A tactic that will work is breaking your leg bones and using an external bone brace and screws to continuously widen the gaps between the healing ends. That could get you another inch or two. You'd have to want it real bad for the months of pain, risk of deep infection, and given that the bones can stop growing before they reunite.

It is popular in China.So, you answer me this: with the nanotechnology help and this surgery, do you think in future humen can undergo this plastic surgery to be as any tall as they want just as women can meed their desired breast sieze?

Queso Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 hmmmm.i'm not sure if you will be able to be as tall as you want AFTER you are born.(you never know! technology is amazing)but before the woman is concieved, eventually we will be able to "program" DNA into what kind of child we want. and hey, make the kid tall. but as for you........you're screwed! :shrug: in a nice way of course :circle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.DDunn Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 if you want to go taller ur out of luck buddy. as far as my medical knoweldge goes i havent come across anything that can make you "several inches taller". the only way to do it really is go back to being 11 years old and get prescription HGH. As far as this leg breaking surgery goes, its to be frank stupid and its not unheard of to end up in a wheel chair or worse lose several inches of height. my point is come to terms with you height and discover advantages to it.

Buffy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 DrD has a good point about " come to terms with you height and discover advantages to it."This should be a closed thread. God *knows* we tried to get Ps to come to terms with it, but, well, just use the little search thingy up at the top of the screen to check out some of his other, uh, "thoughts"...
