Restylane/ juverderm fillers used for ball of foot? (photos)

KalarooJan 13, 2016

In April 2014 a surgeon did an exploratory operation under my 2nd metartarsal and removed the bursa and 1xsq cm of fat pad (a sliver of glass was found). I am now left with a hollow due to the removal of bursa/fat pad. The underlying bone now virtually has no cushioning and walking even short distances is painful.. Do you know of any similar case where fillers have been successful been used.See photo comparison left and right foot. Many thanks.

We have our patients take arnika, we use cannulas and limit holoistic medications as listed above to prevent bruising.  Sometimes there is nothing you can do.  Also, no drinking for 3 days before.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @lolaj83! Hyaluronic acid facial filler products that were previously injected into an improper tissue plane can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Having a minor surgery (or even a major one, for that matter) several days after dermal filler injection should not present and additional risks nor should the surgical procedure affect the dermal filler, since the surgery is not in the same area as the filler.

Please post a before photo.  It sounds as if the blood vessels in the area were damaged and very conservative laser treatment needs to be performed after the area is injected with an enzyme to reverse the filler. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
