Brief Answer: Surgery is costly. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Increasing your height at the age of 27 is quite a challenging task. After you attain puberty, the long bones of the body stop growing further as their growing ends fuse with the bone. These bones then attain a permanent size. There are many pills, injections etc available which claim to increase your height. Their effect is doubtful and do not waste your time, energy and money on them. Regular yoga practice is known to help in improvement of the posture and ease tension in the body which, in turn, can help make a person feel taller. Several yoga positions can help to maximize these effects. Your height totally depends on your age and in some cases your family average height. Drinking milk , stretching and proper sleep can increase your height as the secretion of growth hormone is increased during the sleep specially in the early morning hours. To produce extra Growth Hormone, develop an effective grow taller exercise program. Scientific studies have shown that the brain releases a larger quantity of GH after aerobic exercises. This can help in increase in height by 1-2 cm. The surgery involves correction in both the limbs and may involve rest and rehabilitation exercises for more than 10 weeks. You may be off work for several weeks. You can consult at Apollo Hospital Hyderabad for the necessary procedure. The cost will vary according to the procedure done and the duration of hospital stay. It can cost you lakhs of INR to get an appropriate height. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
