Do you mean height? I don't think there is a way to make babies have a certain height once they grow, because both genetics and environmental causes effect height.

I'm 5'0 and I don't think there is anyway for me to get taller, and I'm 18. I'm sure there may be ways to do it hormonally but the risks are much greater than the benefits.

A medical technique of stretching your lower limbs can add several centimeters, while a Chinese traditional diet includes groundnut roots. Sports especially basketball that need a lot of jumping have been known to increase height.

In the movie Gattaca they made someone taller by breaking the legs and setting them in a custom vice that basically caused new bone to grow in the crack between the two bone segments. Long story short, he grew a couple inches and it hurt a lot.

Thanks guys! That actually was really informative. My mom always makes jokes about "the rack" but I'm pretty okay with my height. It's just my stance that procedures to change physical appearance aside from hairdos and makeup are over the top.
