LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dear Dr. Lam,

I am a 30 y/o male and I seem to have developed fat pad atrophy or thinning of the fat pad in my feet. This resulted from running in concrete 5 times a week for many years and possibly exacerbated due to excess weight and poor footwear. Anyways it now constantly hurts to walk and even standing for long periods of time creates a deep/dull ache. I am very concerned as there does not seem to be a treatment available to restore this natural cushion and even worse it generally does not regenerate on its own so there is a strong possibility that it will only get worse as it continues to deteriorate.

Have you had experience with Fat Grafting to heel/feet? If not, do you think this would be an effective solution to this problem?

Thanks!

no, but fillers can help but you have to be very careful with not putting too much in because it can actually hurt more. it is a closed space and must be done with care.
