Her problem sounds like fat pad atrophy and I have injected these fillers for pain relief. Thanks for bringing up a great perspective.

However, I am interested in fillers in the bottom of the feet NOT to wear high heels, but as a possible treatment for my elderly mother. The fat on the balls of her feet is so thin now, she is in great pain walking or standing. She has visited several podiatrists and orthopedic specialists and they only recommended orthotic inserts and comfortable shoes. She never wore high heels. Fillers wear away over time, so if it did not work, it wouldn't be a permanent mistake. Why can't foot docs think of this as a solution for those who can hardly stand or walk due to this problem? I believe you hear the word "cosmetic" and "high heels" and perhaps can not see the possible medical advantages and improvement in quality of life. Thank you for listening. Dr. Nirenberg:
