\r\n\r\nHow many times have you wanted to wear stylish summer sandals \u2014 the kind showcased by fashion bloggers \u2014 but hesitated because you didn\u2019t feel your feet looked \u201cgood enough\u201d? Today, achieving beauty literally from head to toe is possible, as aesthetic surgery can also target the feet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In recent years, this part of the body has received growing attention in the field of aesthetic medicine, both in the United States and Europe. Feet are essential for daily function and support the entire body, which is why many Italian plastic surgeons and orthopaedic specialists warn against purely cosmetic procedures that may expose such a delicate and complex structure to unnecessary risks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The most requested treatment \u2014 especially among women with thin, bony feet \u2014 is the foot filler<\/strong> for the dorsal surface. This involves injections of soft-tissue fillers to restore volume and provide a smoother, more youthful appearance. The most commonly used substances are hyaluronic acid fillers<\/strong> or, alternatively, autologous fat through lipofilling<\/em>, which is biocompatible and free of rejection risks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n After applying a local anaesthetic, 4\u20135 microinjections are performed and the filler is distributed with a gentle massage. Ice is then applied to reduce redness and swelling. Patients can immediately resume normal activities, although mild bruising, swelling or temporary surface irregularities may appear for a couple of days. Absorbable fillers usually last between 7 and 9 months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n If lipofilling<\/strong> is chosen, the procedure lasts around 30 minutes and includes two phases: first, under local anaesthesia, small incisions are made to harvest fat \u2014 typically from the flanks \u2014 using a fine cannula. In the second phase, the fat is processed and reinjected into the dorsum of the foot using microcannulas. Since part of the fat is naturally reabsorbed, a secondary touch-up may be needed after a few months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Maria Serena Patriarca<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How many times have you wanted to wear stylish summer sandals \u2014 the kind showcased by fashion bloggers \u2014 but hesitated because you didn\u2019t feel your feet looked \u201cgood enough\u201d?
