The only way that you can get taller is with surgery and this is very complex and very dangerous.

Answer 7

Well, naturally, you can't grow. But some surgery (Experimental), have reported some success.

And you can only grow if you're bone narrow have lots of nutrients necessary to grow. But I think if you're 43, you basically depleted your bone calcium. You wouldn't be able to do it naturally, so you could get one synthetically. But that is still not guarantee you getting taller if the catalyst, the growth hormone are not active anymore.

Answer 8

Once your epiphyseal (growth) plates close, you are as tall as you are going to be.  These growth plates close middle to late puberty for boys and middle puberty for girls.

Growth hormone, the hormone responsible for vertical growth, will only work on epiphyseal plates that are still able to lengthen.  If growth hormone is taken after this point, it can cause acromegaly, which causes enlargement of the hands, feet, and a protruding jaw (not a pretty picture).

Outside of radical, dangerous, and drastic surgery, you are as tall as you are ever going to be.  

Answer 9

u stop growing after ur 20
