You can actually gain some height by stretching, and having a good diet. Apparently this site is great, check it out:

I heard of this surgery you can get where they break your bones and implant a steel wedge to make you taller, I never looked into it though the recovery time takes about 2 years! I heard people who want to make a career in modeling do it to become taller, sounds dumb though. There are ways to make your self look taller like wearing high heeled shoes and pencil skirts. Google ways to look taller

Your height is determined genetically, at 18 no nutritional regime or stretching will help. The only thing you can do now is what jenonline mentioned, but they only preform that surgery usually if theres a need like if one leg is longer than the other and it's affecting the way you walk and your spinal cord and back. I haven't heard of models doing this. I don't know that a real docotor would even perform this surgery on a cosmetic basis for ethical reasons. But I suppose if you have enough cash you can by just about anything. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of crooked doctors in California who will write you a prescription for medical Marijuana for the right price, which I've heard is between 100 - 200 $. So if your going for the surgery I'd try the state of California, or perhaps Nevada where peoples morales and ethical standards seem lower.

dont listen to domzila its not gentically determined, its your habits and routines of what you ate growing up, I agree with stretching properly and regularly more like yoga with the extreme stretching and eating a very well mannered diet for awhile until you stop growing in about another 3-4 years, you can possibly gain another 2-3 inches then what your supposed to... hope it helps!

It is during deep sleep that growth hormone does its job of thickening and lengthening your bones. So appropriate sleeping time (not the longer, the better) and correct sleeping posture is very important for your body to grow. Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli.

During deep sleep, growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland is released into your blood stream and travel through your body and causes the thickening and lengthening of your bones. Therefore, you should achieve deep level sleep on a daily basis in order to coordinate your affords of exercises and proper diet. The following are some helpful tips on how to easily achieve deep level sleep.

Sleep in a comfortable and firm mattress.
Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and fresh smelling.
Sleep with clean, soft, and comfortable clothes.
Keep your hands and feet warm. Scientific studies have shown that warm hands and feet will help induce REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep. Cold hands and feet will keep you from deep sleep.
Drink a big glass of water before going to bed and when you wake up; this will help clean out your system.
Practice total relaxation and deep breathing for a few minutes before you go to bed.
Relax from head to toe. Close your eyes and relax every part of your body.
Maintain a habit of sleeping at the same time everyday, including weekends.
Sleep on your back with a flat pillow under your knees. This will align your spine properly and prevent any back aches caused by sleeping in a bent position.

Undoubtedly, the quality, quantity, and type of food we eat affect our height, growth, and health. We cannot emphasize enough how important your food intake is in determining how much growth you can possibly obtain. The types of food you eat will either improve or decrease your growth potential.
After careful consideration and research, the daily content of protein, carbohydrates, fats and water can be achieved if the following items were taken regularly. Please take note that this is a guideline and you are free to your own thoughts.

Carrots Fish Liver
Egg Yolk Beef Red Meat
Milk Cheese Apples
Green Vegetables Potatoes Nuts
Yellow Vegetables Almonds Bananas
Peanuts Chicken Beans
Peas Salt 6-8 glasses of water per day

If you eat a lot of peanut butter, your height will not necessarily stop. Neither does masturbation stop height.
What might stop you from growing is smoking, drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, digestive problems, or lack of exercise.

Height Growth Products : The first approved natural product for height increase is Super-Growth http://www.super-growth.info with this product it is possible to gain additional height growth even after puberty.
