What is fat pad atrophy?

Did you know the average person walks the equivalent of twice around the world in their lifetime? Our feet have specialized fat pads that act as shock absorbers, but over time, these pads can degrade, causing pain and calluses. Fat grafting, a procedure where fat from your abdomen or thighs is transplanted to your feet, can help. This treatment restores cushioning, reduces irritation from shoes, and provides relief from pressure and pain. Plus, using your own fat cells means there’s minimal risk of allergic reactions or tissue rejection.

What is chronic plantar fasciitis?

Chronic plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, affects about 2 million people annually in the U.S., with 10% of cases becoming chronic. This condition involves inflammation and thickening of the plantar fascia, leading to persistent discomfort. A novel treatment option, perforating fat injections, uses a patient’s own fat to reduce pain and improve function. This technique leverages the regenerative properties of fat cells to decrease plantar fascia thickness and enhance quality of life.

How are we unique?

Experience unparalleled care from a unique team: an award-winning plastic surgeon and a leading podiatrist. While most plastic surgeons can inject fat, they often lack knowledge of foot biomechanics and post-surgery shoe wear. Podiatrists, though experts in foot pathology, typically aren’t trained in fat grafting. Our combined expertise ensures comprehensive, evidence-based treatment, providing you with the best possible care for your foot issues. Trust Dr. Jeffrey Gusenoff and Dr. Beth Gusenoff for specialized, holistic foot care. Drs. Gusenoff are also innovators and have evidence-based treatments and foot offloading devices you won't find anywhere else!
