22 at least.
I’m not going to address the surgical part of the question because you are too young to be considering that right now. I’m not going to talk down to you but I remember being 15 and almost every idea/opinion I had has changed multiple times since then. I’m 23 now. I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to shelf this idea for now and get if in 5 years it’s a big concern for you then come back. You still have a couple of years of growth and I Think it’s likely that you will be at the very least average height but likely above average or even tall! As far as maximizing your height, that is relatively an easy but boring answer. Sleep at least 8 uninterrupted hours a night, maybe more at your age (this is the most important). After that comes nutrition since you are still growing do research on a good amount of calories to eat (probably a surplus due to growing still). Make sure the food is healthy but don’t obsess, get all your vitamins. The reason you don’t want to obsess is you want low stress levels this will also regulate your hormones and maximize height. Finally keep your body fat percentage low but not to low. I’d say 9-12%. This will keep your hormones you want like testosterone high and estrogen (which will speed up growth plate closure) low. Lift weights or get other physical activity. Lifting weights in a safe responsible way will not effect height negatively despite what some uninformed people say. Good luck and don’t stress about this right now, because ironically that stress might negatively effect your height lol.
