Fillers for Feet

In our practice we don’t like using silicone-type fillers but prefer to use more naturally derived products. It's temporary — six to nine months — but it helps with high-heel mules when you're putting a lot of weight on the ball of the foot. The injections provide internal padding for the feet at that point of pressure underneath the balls of the feet. Instead of using those silicon pads inside your shoes, this is an internal way of doing it. Plumping up your feet with injections is also cheaper and less risky than cut-into-the-foot surgery. We therefore recommend Restylane injections. Restylane is a crystal clear gel that is injected under the skin in small amounts to restore volume and structure. It is based on hyaluronic acid, similar to the body's own hyaluronic acid that diminishes as we age.

Foot Lift

A Foot Lift has been used in America for over a decade and in Europe for the past 5 years. Although not well known in France due to associations with cosmetic surgery (not covered by either Social Security or supplemental medical insurance), it is now becoming more popular. It is extremely effective. Just one session can reduce the pain by over 90%. Highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected between the epidermis and the bone in order to plump up the ball of the foot and cushion the pressure caused by the weight of the body on the metatarsal heads. The results last between 6 and 12 months, and the injections can be repeated as often as required.
