Most patients enjoy results for 6 to 12 months. Athletes or individuals who walk or stand for extended periods may need maintenance every 9 months.
Restore foot comfort and cushioning naturally with fat pad injection therapy
As we age or subject our feet to high pressure, the protective fat padding in the balls and heels of our feet can deteriorate. This condition, known as plantar fat pad atrophy, can make everyday activities like walking, standing, or wearing stylish shoes painful. Dr. Solomon offers Fat Pad Injections in Beverly Hills as a non-surgical solution to restore lost cushioning, reduce pressure, and improve foot function.
Using targeted dermal filler injections designed for foot structure, this treatment supports those with chronic foot discomfort, thinning skin under pressure points, or pain from standing, running, or wearing heels.
Fat pad injections involve the careful placement of a soft gel-like filler beneath the skin to mimic the body’s natural cushioning. These fillers are biocompatible and designed to offer relief from:
By restoring volume, fat pad injections protect your feet from impact and shear stress, making everyday activities far more comfortable. For patients who are active, aging, or who simply spend long hours on their feet, this treatment can significantly improve quality of life by reintroducing natural support where it has diminished.
The gel used in fat pad injections is typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body known for its ability to bind water and maintain volume and elasticity in the skin. When injected into the soles of the feet, this substance provides the missing cushioning necessary for pressure relief and shock absorption.
Fat pad injections can be used as a primary or supportive therapy for several foot conditions:
It’s also a good option for individuals who cannot tolerate orthotic inserts or who want relief that doesn’t rely solely on shoe modifications.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
This treatment is ideal for patients who experience:
Dr. Solomon also treats individuals who have experienced skin thinning after cosmetic foot surgeries or procedures. In such cases, fat pad injections offer restorative value by improving both the structural integrity and comfort of the feet.
Dr. Solomon performs a thorough assessment to confirm that the discomfort is from fat pad loss and not other underlying conditions like neuromas, arthritis, or tendon issues. He also uses gait analysis and pressure mapping as needed to identify problem zones and guide injection placement.
Fat pad injections at our Beverly Hills clinic are performed using high-grade dermal fillers formulated for foot applications. The goal is to strategically place the filler in a way that mimics the natural fat padding your foot once had.
The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is performed in our modern, private treatment suite. You’ll be able to walk out of the office with minimal restrictions.
Fat pad injections require little downtime and most patients resume their routine the next day. However, optimal results depend on following basic aftercare instructions.
Some individuals with advanced fat pad loss or extremely active lifestyles may need maintenance injections every 9 to 12 months to maintain optimal results.
The benefits of fat pad injections extend beyond short-term pain relief. Patients who undergo this treatment often experience significant improvements in daily mobility, posture, and even mood.
This treatment can also delay or eliminate the need for more invasive procedures, such as osteotomies or other orthopedic interventions.
