Fat Transfer procedure on Feet Surface? Tri Valley Plastic Surgery

I used to have pretty feet. But now, I'm pushing 40 and my skin is thinning; I'm noticing there are so many visible veins on the tops of my feet. My doctor said they weren't varicose. Is it possible to have a fat transfer procedure done on feet surface, similar to how its done for hands now?

Thanks for the question cutecutter - Fat transfer for the hands has become increasingly popular in recent years. In my San Francisco area practice we perform this procedure (though much more commonly to the hands). In the hands of an experienced practitioner, transfer to the feet should be able to produce the same results. The key is finding someone with significant experience in these techniques. Fat transfer to hands and feet has unique challenges in comparison to fat transfer to other parts of the body. A board certified plastic surgeon is a good place to start. In addition, fat transfer to the feet have additional risks and considerations. The feet typically have poorer circulation than the hands and are more dependent (hang below the heart) which can increase the chance of infection, swelling and recovery time. Also, feet can be more difficult to allow appropriate time to heal (think at least a few days of bedrest and leg elevation for several weeks). I hope this helps.
