Can growth continue after the growth plates have closed?
Sorry, once the growth plates have closed, hormones don’t help increase growth in the bones that contribute to height (legs). Taking large doses of growth hormone after the growth plates close can cause continued growth of bones in the head, face, hands and feet, leading to a disfiguring condition called acromegaly. If you think you are having a second growth spurt, or wish you could have one by taking hormones, give your doctor a call to get a check up and the latest information on growth hormones.
