Pillows for the Feet
"Pillows for the feet", Foot fat pad augmentation– the
answer to wearing high heels with no discomfort
Ever since the beginning of fashion, women have had to compromise comfort for beauty, when it came to their feet. Women’s shoes and modern fashion aren’t always on the same page. That’s why at PascualMD we offer an innovative approach to providing comfort to women who wear high heeled shoes. Dermal Fillers are injected to the ball of the foot which augments the fat pad found underneath the foot in the region often referred to as the “ball of the foot”. The metatarsal bones rest on this fat pad in the normal standing position. When the foot is put into a high heeled shoe, the position of the metatarsal bone and the fat pad changes. The fat pad is shifted backwards and metatarsal bone is then placed in a downward slope with the head of the bone taking more weight-bearing than normal. This creates discomfort after a short time since there is less effective padding in this region now that the fat pad has been shifted backward.
The use of Dermal Fillers provides women a conservative, safe alternative to surgery for getting relief from this uncomfortable condition. Depending on the product that is injected, the results can last up to one year. Dermal Fillers have been used for many years in cosmetic medicine and have a proven track record for safety. Start wearing those stilettos without the agony that goes with them.
