Any Surgery Or Injection To Grow Taller (height)

[plutology]

hi all,

To all generous people in Bangkok,

please kindly tell me is there any surgery or injection that can help to grow taller (height)?

I have been searching for one.

I am 23 years old, only 165cm, i would like to have 5cm-10cm taller than now.

Anyone can seriously help me?

[Who, me ?]

I might miss something here, but....what's wrong with 165 cm tall ?

[sweetchariot]

Trolls are getting taller these days!

Growth hormone but only if you have growth stunt.

Bone lengthening if you are radical.

Bone lengthening...

BONE LENGTHENING

Lengthening an abnormally short leg may be recommended for children whose bones are still growing. This series of treatments involves several surgical procedures, a lengthy convalescence period, and considerable risks -- but it can add up to 6 inches of length to a leg.

While the child is under general anesthesia, the bone to be lengthened is cut. Metal pins or screws are inserted through the skin and into the bone.

Pins are placed above and below the cut in the bone, and the skin incision is stitched closed.

A metal device (usually some sort of external frame) is attached to the pins in the bone and will be used later to gradually pull the cut bone apart, creating a space between the ends of the cut bone that will fill in with new bone. The lengthening device is used very gradually to ensure adequate filling of the bone and stretching of the soft tissues.

Later, when the leg has reached the desired length and has healed (usually after several months), another surgical procedure will be done to remove the pins.

Because the pins or screws are inserted through the skin into the bone, special care of the pin sites is important to prevent infection. Also, because the blood vessels, muscles, and skin are stretched with each lengthening, careful and frequent checking of the skin color, temperature, and sensation of the foot and toes is necessary to prevent circulatory, muscular, or nerve damage.

Extremely painful, might be easier just buy some shoes with heels.

My Thai wife was 146cm tall (short). She went out and purchased a machine that was being advertised on Thai Tv. Basically, it's a copy of a medeival torture rack. You lie on a flat bench, hook your feet into some straps, put another strap around your chin and then turn a handle which lengthens the bench itself, thus stretching you out until you scream.

After 4 months of usage, she is still 146cm short

Make sure you measure your height first thing in the morning, when you get out of bed.

You'll find that you are half an inch taller than at the end of the day (because your spinal discs compress during the day).

I am 193 cm tall and since I am feeling generous and have some extra cm of height to spare, I would be happy to make a trade with you. I could always find a way to put a few extra cm on my 'johnson bar' to good use so if you have any extra ones that you do not need, I will be happy to make an even trade with you.

This worked for me:

Rub salt on your feet before you go to bed, place a bowl of water at the foot of the bed, and dangle your feet over the end of the bed whilst you sleep. Your feet will be drawn to the water during the night thus increasing you height!

This is what you need.

Since coming to LOS I have a few extra KG I could spare for the underweight...

Yes, but if you use your imagination this device could be such fun

Whilst I too have no useful suggestions to the original question, I do feel somewhat sorry for the poster since 90% of the answers have been taking the piss--Oh well, I guess don't post stuff that's going to elicit humerous responses, maybe.

I know of no safe answer to the question--steroids or the rack--no way.

I think the reason for the humorous responses are that the OP if he is a he is not that short what 5'5" , or if he is a she then not short at all.

Edit , typo on 5'5"

To me being 5'5" would be to your advantage living in LOS.

HGH is pretty much useless after you have finished puberty as your bone's growth plates have already fused. The only real alternative is getting your bones mechanically lengthened, which as posted before is expensive, extremely painful, and risky. Do what my wife does, poof up your hair and wear high heels or platform shoes.

Me, I curse being 6'2" hitting my head all the time, knocking my knees, and having a heck of a time finding clothing that fits properly in LOS.

[micksterbs]

Ah, but I just love this board.

OP, as Gunnyd says, being "only" 5' 5" in Thailand is no big deal here. Ok, I can imagine your being height-conscious back in the West, but here? If you really do believe yourself to be "vertically-challenged", then you're probably living in the best country on Earth.

I am only 4'" taller than you. I have never felt inferior in any way & I never have to duck under a door so my head does not get hit on the way in. A man stature is not measured by his height, but his actions.....I might be only 5'4" but my friends & associates see me as me which averages the height difference + the medical procedure Britmaveric outlined is not only very true but horribly painful. I knew someone that had to undergo the procedure(only cause she was 6 " shorter on one leg & it posed a health risk as well) She would have rather stayed the way she was. Honest you can be of a shorter size & still be perceived as a Giant in the eyes of others.If you play your strongest suit in life-you walk as tall as the tallest.

in Fact you might be an inch taller than me! Edit due to ft. to inches screw up!

Yikes, I'm not surprised you never feel inferior, Beardog. Wow, you must be 9' 5".

I know what you mean, mate... Seems to me that it gets worse every day, too.

I understand what you are saying. Here is a picture of me 6'4" tall (yellow shirt) and my friend who is 6'5" going through one of the doorways in the hotel we were staying at in Pattaya. Sometimes being short can be an advantage and a little safer in LOS.

[nickypattaya]

Stand in dog crap or horse shit any shit will do i'm 6'1

[Beardog]

So there it is Plutology If you make yourself 6' + your just gonna hit your head going in doorways. My last girl in the states was 6'2" and the best part was the long legs not her height. We looked like the odd couple together. Stay away from the roids too!

They will make your unit shrink down 1/2 size. Have a friend - a Weightlifter (from the arnold schw. era) that used em to get big ...He says while he is 5'7" his dik is nit nau now & bones hurt all the time.

Gotta be happy with what you got, cause most of the time the grass isn't greener on the other side(unless you are in Humbolt county LOL)

[jackoneilone]

at 23 your growth plates would have closed.

bone lengthing is the only way youd get it now very painful and youll be away for 2-6months and in constant pain as your leg bone is stretched 1mm everyday. sideeffects is weaking of bone, suspectible to fractures and breaks etc. hence if you have to money to do this ( i think about $20000 in china ) you can surely afford HGH for faster healing recuperation strengthing etc with the right diet high calcium etc but even then dont push the extension to far 8cm to 10cm tops
