What is Fat Pad Restoration and How Does It Work?
Fat pad restoration is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment aimed at rejuvenating the natural cushioning beneath the feet.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for alleviating discomforts associated with fat pad atrophy, such as plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Fat pad atrophy, often triggered by factors like high heel use, diabetic neuropathy, or repetitive strain, leads to significant thinning of the protective fat pads on the foot’s sole, causing pain and difficulty in walking or standing for extended periods. The restoration process involves harvesting fat from another body part, such as the abdomen or buttocks, and reinjecting it into the feet to restore lost volume and enhance comfort. Additionally, treatments like Radiesse® dermal filler and Leneva® allograft adipose matrix are used to cushion painful areas and stimulate the body to produce more fat cells, improving mobility and quality of life.
