Brief Answer:
surgically it can be done

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The height of a person is decided by genes and to some extent physical activity. The ends of our long bones like femur and tibia (thigh and leg bones) grow up to certain age(18 years for girls).Hence,we can not gain height by any medicine but it can be done by surgical procedure known as Ilizarov. It is a time taking procedure with it's own side effect.The increase in height by this procedure is 3cm/month and one can have 4-6 inch gain in height by 6_8 month time.
Hope this suffices.
Take care

Detailed Answer:
Hello
It's good to see you
In the surgical procedure we create a fracture surgically at the end of bone and then distract the fracture to the desired length known as distraction osteogenesis.we distract the fracture slowly at a rate of 1mm/day.The gap created is filled with new bone. Patient has to wear stainless steel ring around the limb which are connected to the bone with pins.If you like you may watch video on you tube.
Hope this answer your query.
