Is It Possible To Increase Height After 25 Years?

Is it technically possible that scientists can reopen growth plates in the near future? I am about to reach 25 years old within one year and I know that a male has zero chance to grow once growth plates are sealed.My mom is well above average height and my dad is about average compared to people with same age.I am well-nourished but almost 4 inches below my peers because I did usually sleep very late at age 13 to 16 and rarely exercise.Should I have great hopes for technology advancement or never ever have a second chance and regret for ignoring this for the rest of my life?

Greetings .
I just want you to ask some question to yourself before taking any steps to increase your height.
--> What is your purpose for which you want to gain height?
Remember you're unlikely to grow any taller after the age of 20.

Don't try/think anything unnecessary(reopen growth plates, etc.,) and over strain yourself and get your life complicated.

Please be contented with what you have. If you are able to do your normal routine by yourself, it's a gift. What else you want?

"Just relax and be Cool. You are always unique with what you are/have."


Note:
Finally it's just a guidance. Not a definitive treatment as i haven't seen you personally. You've to realize that these are temporary remedies. We don't know what your exact condition is unless we see you personally. A doctor after personally examining you could help .

Hope it helped you.
