How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Recovery
For those who are considering this, the recovery would have been dramatically shorter and less uncomfortable had I not done the bottom of my feet. IF I had just done the top, I could have been back to work and walking around in about in a week or two. There was never pain after the surgery except when I tried to walk and then it was more a weird sensation from the swelling on the bottom of my feet. So for those who want a cosmetic improvement to the top of the feet, I'd highly recommend doing this with my doctor.
Fat still there
Here is a photo of the top of my feet today, Dec 15 2014. I am purposely standing on a line in the tile to show you about where the fat transfer on my feet began on the top. (I didn't want to take a pen and draw on the top of my feet.) The fat was placed from that line to the base of my toes. Above that line towards the ankle and where the veins become more pronounced is where no fat transfer was done. It looks completely natural. No one would know I had done anything. Now I wish I had asked her to place fat all over my entire upper foot.
The fat on the bottom of the feet is another story. I think some of it stayed and it is better than before but either I needed a lot more fat to be transferred there, or perhaps I destroyed much of the fat that was there from walking on it too soon. (Pressure necrosis, it is called)

All good
I am walking, hiking and exercising, with the help of MBT shoes. (Rocker type shoes.) I can walk in bare feet without pain. The fat transfer went perfectly. My feet look 20 years younger. But that wasn't the reason I had this done. I hoped the fat transfer would make my feet feel better from the damage done by the steroid injections for the morton's neuroma.
The Morton's neuroma is still there but not as bad as before, which might be because I spent a month in a wheelchair and have been walking in these special shoes. I still can't wear flats or sandals for very long but I can for a short period of time. I no longer have the symptoms and issues on top of the feet that I had after the steroids dissolved the fat that was there.
One unexpected outcome of this procedure is that I no longer have dry, cracked heels. When we get older, apparently, having dry, cracked heels is normal. But the fat that was placed in my heels has now eliminated this issue, which neither I nor the doctor had anticipated.

Provider Review
Dr Alesia Saboeiro is an astonishingly good plastic surgeon who will make you look better and or younger, never fake or done. In terms of the fat transfer to my feet, this is new territory. If anyone can accomplish this, it is Dr. Alesia Saboeiro or Dr. Coleman.
