Does Scoliosis surgery make you taller?!


Question: Does Scoliosis surgery make you taller?
The top of my spine is at a 51 degree angle while the bottom is 43 and it's like a snake and I'm getting surgery June 28th.. so I'm just wondering if I will get any taller and if so, how tall? I'm 15 and 5'6 1/2

Answers:

After everything heals up yes you could well be a bit taller (inch or two probably). Ask the surgeon if you get a chance beforehand for a more complete answer.

Good luck!
