Restore Comfort and Cushion to Every Step with Foot Fillers
At West Texas Foot & Ankle Associates, we understand how frustrating and even debilitating foot pain can be, especially when every step feels like walking on rocks. That’s why we offer foot fillers, a non-surgical solution designed to restore the natural cushioning your feet have lost over time. We proudly serve Midland, Odessa, Pecos, Andrews, Big Spring, and Monahans, TX.
What Are Foot Fillers?
Foot fillers are injectable treatments typically made from hyaluronic acid—similar to what’s used in facial fillers—but formulated specifically for use in the feet. These fillers are injected into areas where fat pads have thinned, most commonly the ball of the foot, to restore lost volume and create a natural cushion.
What Foot Fillers Help With
Foot fillers can make a dramatic difference for patients dealing with:
- Fat pad atrophy (thinning of the protective fat in the feet)
- Pain from standing or walking in high heels
- Discomfort during extended periods on hard surfaces
- Feeling like you're "walking on bones"
- Pressure or pain in the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia)
They’re ideal for people who are on their feet a lot—whether for work, athletics, or lifestyle.
How Long Do Foot Fillers Last?
Most foot fillers provide relief for 6 to 12 months, depending on activity level, individual metabolism, and the product used. Many patients return for touch-ups once a year, though some may benefit from biannual treatments based on their lifestyle and how much time they spend standing or walking.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
We recommend foot fillers for:
- Adults experiencing chronic pain in the ball of the foot
- Patients with thinning foot pads due to age, activity, or genetics
- Individuals who are not ready for surgical solutions
- Anyone looking for added comfort in their daily life
We’ll always perform a thorough evaluation to ensure this treatment aligns with your needs.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed in the office and usually takes about 30 minutes. Most patients experience little to no downtime and are able to return to their regular activities the same day. Mild swelling or soreness is normal and usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
