<s>[INST] hi, I am 30 years old, my height is 5.3 and i want to increase my height, after seeing lot of advertisement in Teleshopping relating to height growth i can t judge it is true or false. can you please suggest me is there any chance to grow atleast 3 inch. [/INST] Hello, Height is a genetically determined factor and thus can not be changed. You can increase the height only by complex orthopaedic procedures like “illizarrow” technique. However, it is not required in your case. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician </s>
