Hi!! i am 5ft and i look very short than my husband i come to his sholder. What can i do to increase my hight little bit.

Everybody never believes that i am 28 please help me. Sparklinpearl replied. Height is hereditary. But some people have height even though their family members are short because height is not only hereditary it also depends on diet taken & exercises done in childhood & teenage.

Height doesn’t increase after 17+ for girls naturally. But height of some girls increases till 20 also naturally. But then it doesn’t.

And you are 28, so there is no chance to increase your height naturally. There are some pills available in market, but they have lots of side effects too. So never go for it.


Whereas comparison with your sis in law is concerned, you do comparison, not others. And you should be happy that they think you are younger one. If you want to look older then you can change your hairstyle & dressing style to look older. If you are very thin, increase your weight little, but not too much.

Be happy that you come till your hubby’s shoulder. In my neighbourhood one couple live. That lady is 4.9’ & her hubby is 5.6’. She doesn’t come to his shoulders even after wearing heels also. Take such examples & be happy that you are not too much short.

There are many people in this world shorter than 5ft. So be happy with what you have & enjoy your life.

Best of luck & take care
KJ replied. This should not be a issue..I agree being short ht makes you bit low. but that shld not make u think otherwise..To be frank after 17+ , we dont grow.. Be happy and enjoy .As long as your hubby doesnt mind you ht ..no worries :-) Jilna replied. honestly ramanita i am 5 foot 9 and i really really hate my height i was i was tall as u, if u r very tall ppl notice u immediately i am still in school and ppl think i am in university so it is horrible but there is nothing u can do coz girls only grow until age 16-7 and then they stop but wear high heels and i agree with pria u can surgically lengthen ur legs if u really want how tall is ur sis in law Priya replied. if you come up to his shoulder, that's perfectly ok. what would you prefer to come up to? im 5' 6\"; and i am the exact same height as my boyfriend and believe me its very restrictive so i can't wear high heel shoes or anything. but if u still want to increase ur height, i suggest wearing high heels because u r over the growth age and nothing really can be done unless u want to surgically lengthen ur legs.
