Limb lengthening via ilizarov is one of the option for short stature. But prior any surgical intervention, clinical assessment required. Kindly visit my clinic will let u know the desired option suitable for you. Thank you again for asking me your problem.

Thanks Please inform heights of your close family members
Cosmetic Limb Lengthening is a lengthy and complex process and may take more than a year depending on how much lengthening is aimed and if the process is interrupted by complications or not. Secondly, as extra height is the aim so it leads to disproportionately shorter arms and that may actually look strange.
It is (cosmetic limb lengthening) a serious decision and most orthopaedic surgeons with experience do not recommend it.
