The number of cosmetic procedures performed on feet doubled last year. There are several different cosmetic procedures which can be done on the feet and are usually done to help patients cope with the pain of high heeled shoes.

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures for the feet is having dermal fillers injected into either the toe pads, heels or balls of the feet. The dermal filler injections take around 20 minutes to administer and help to cushion the feet to reduce the burning sensation that can occur when wearing high heels. The results can last up to 6 months before a top up injection is required.

The foot fillers are becoming popular because with towering stilettos being the in-thing, women are finding that many shoes hurt their feet. Costing around £320, it is less than the price of a pair of designer shoes therefore the procedure is easily accessible to many.
