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 Dr. Sadrieh has developed an innovative new approach to providing comfort to millions of women who wear high heeled shoes.

Collagen injections or DermaFiller injections to the ball of the foot can augment 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.  But when the foot is put into a high heeled shoe the position of the metatarsal heads and the fat pad changes.  The fat pad is shifted backwards and metatarsal heads are then placed in a downward slope with the heads taking more weight-bearing than normal.  This creates discomfort after a short time since their is less effective padding in this region now that the fat pad has been shifted backward.

The use of injectable collagen or DermaFillers 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.  Injectable collagens and DermaFillers have been used for many years in plastic surgery and have proven their safety.  Despite the conservative nature and ease of this procedure, it is highly recommended that you consult with a Podiatric Surgeon who has experience with this procedure and the selection of which DermaFiller product is right for you.
