Suggest Method To Increase Height.

hello docter, I m 34 & my height is 5 2 . I want to go for cosmetic surgery to increase my height for another 3 to 5 inches, is it safe to go for it, if yes, then where can I get the best facility with an affordable price in India. Is there any surgeon operating the same surgery in the eastern part of India ?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.There is no medically documented / proven ways to increase the height.
2.The bone growth stops at 18-21years, epiphyseal closure.
3.Please take this out of your mind and lead happy life.
4.I belong to radiology - we estimate the age of the patient by seeing bones, does it mean any thing? That means there are some standards in the bones with age.
5.You can try yoga in a natural way which might help ( which people say about but not proven)

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that you have crazy thought in your mind, there is no chance that one could increased the height with cosmetic surgery, this surgery is for changing the appearance and not for increasing the height, moreover there is no such surgery available that could increase the height, take care and have a nice day.
