    wat ._. ... unless you break the bone then brace it, like other parts of your anatomy, its quite hard to lengthen

    it is possible with finger surgery, it sounds kind of fucked up but they do the same thing for straightening your fingers, they actually BREAK IT, force it out of its socket and brace it just like the above said. personally im surprised it doesnt violate some medical practice out there...

    I don't think so... how old are you? Just make sure to eat right, get sleep and be healthy in general.

    just spin mx, your hands probably will grow at their own rate, while you wait you could even grow out nails to make your fingers look long.

    ^LOL. spinning an mx gives you a deception that your fingers are long. what you need is nails.

    Wasn't there some pianist who slept with corks in between his fingers? If I remember correctly that screwed them up though.

    Chopin? I think that's a myth and that's more of a stretching thing than actual lengthening.

    Just eat healthy, stay active, drink milk. I'm 14 now and my hand is about ~21 cm. I guess i have long fingers. Then again, I hit my growth spurt in the summer of 4th grade where i grew a good 5 inches... Then again im 6"1 right now. Genes bro :/

    why do you need to grow your hands again ? O.o I see no reason that you would want long fingers.

    Kind OT but the only thing for long fingers is for fingering.
