Stilettos are sexy, but wearing high heels consistently can cause serious foot pain. A new procedure is available that transfers fat from your abdomen to your feet to help ease the ache from years of heels.
Dr. Ali Sadrieh calls it a Foot-Tuck Fat Pad Augmentation on The Doctors today, and the procedure creates a natural cushion for the foot. Fat is removed from the abdomen with a procedure similar to liposuction and is then filtered to remove blood and other unwanted materials. The purified fat is injected into the painful area of the foot, making it more comfortable to take each step.
Patients are able to walk out after surgery and many see a marked improvement in their foot pain right away. Dr. Sadrieh's patient described the experience and said she was shocked at how pain-free her feet are now.
