Restore comfort. Relieve pressure. Walk pain-free again.

Foot filler treatment—also known as fat pad restoration—is a non-surgical, in-office procedure that helps restore lost cushioning in the feet. Over time, natural padding in the ball or heel of the foot can wear down, causing pain, pressure, and discomfort when walking or standing.

At Empire Podiatry, we use injectable dermal fillers to replace that lost volume, providing immediate relief and improved comfort, especially for patients with fat pad atrophy, high arches, or pain from high-impact activities or shoes.

How the Procedure Works

1. Your podiatrist evaluates your feet and marks the target areas.

2. A dermal filler (often hyaluronic acid-based) is carefully injected into the ball or heel of the foot.

3. The filler restores volume and redistributes pressure across the foot. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and provides immediate cushioning and relief.​

Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the foot and used for aesthetic enhancement and pain relief. The filler selected by your provider depends on the treatment area, desired results, and longevity of results. 

​Fillers may include:

• Hyaluronic acid–based fillers

• Natural adipose products

• Synthetic substances
