Hi everyone,
I'm going to turn 26 in about a month and have been around 5'5 for god knows how long. I'm a male and of Asian background. I've been disappointed in my height for a while now. Though I still believe that there must be a way for someone around my age to grow another inch or two taller. So I've been doing a lot of researches online and that's how I found this forum. I really want to know if it is possible to grow any taller at my age at all. My dream height is around 5'8-5'9. I believe it is possible to achieve this which is why I've been doing a lot of research. The problem is that I just don't trust what I've found so far on the internet. Please give me some advices and recommendation! Thanks

Yes, it is possible to go from 5'5" to 5'9" at your age. I gained 2.5" from femoral cosmetic leg lengthening surgery, the only proven way to become permanently taller after growth plates have fused. Gaining 4" is quite a bit though, so I would suggest doing it in 2 operations. First, do femurs for 2" and then do tibias for another 2", or just do 3" or 3.5" on femurs and be happy with that. Now, 2 procedures is very, very expensive and the physical discomfort and recovery would be brutal. So to answer your question, yes it is possible, but not realistic unless you are completely committed to undergoing CLL surgery and have the financial resources to do it. If you do not have much money, you can have the procedure done in China for about 25grand including meds and housing. BTW, I went from 5.5" to 5'7.5" and had surgery early this year. Stand on 2.5" of books and see what a difference it makes, I love the new height. Only problem is that recovery takes so long and I only walk 70% normal right now but getting better every week.

I've heard of CLL before. One of my cousin in Vietnam mentioned it to me. The problem is that I don't have that kind of money and I don't plan on going through cosmetic surgery just to get taller. I was thinking of the natural way like stretching and such. I just need a definite answer whether or not I can gain any more height at my age doing all these stretching and stuff. After reading so many post from this website, I realized most of the people here are very young. They are still at the age where they're still growing. Stories like a guy that is 19 and grow 3-4 inches is not surprised. I haven't seen one story about someone who's at my age that actually grow 3-4 inches. I'm starting to lose faith in this kind things...
