Does It Feel Like You're Walking on Rocks?
If every step lands hard on the ball or heel of your foot, thinning cushion underneath could be the reason. Liposana® adds cushion back with human tissue, placed by your podiatrist in a short office visit.
You're Not Alone
Burning, aching, stabbing pain in the ball or heel of the foot is common, and plenty of people live with it for years without a clear answer. If that sounds like you, there's a next step worth knowing about.
When the Cushion Wears Thin
The fat pads in your feet are natural shock absorbers. With age, activity, and years of pressure, they can thin out. When they do, every step sends more force straight into the bones and joints underneath.
Common signs of thinning fat pads:
Bruise like pain under the heel or forefoot
Burning, stone step pain on hard floors
Pain that eases when you sit and returns when you stand
A tender spot underfoot that hurts to touch
A callus or corn that keeps coming back
The feeling of walking on rocks or marbles
Other foot conditions can feel similar, so your podiatrist can confirm if you have fat pad atrophy.

What is Liposana®?
Liposana® is human adipose (fat) tissue, processed and ready for your podiatrist to place right where your cushion has thinned. It's donated human tissue, not a synthetic filler and not a gel. Think of it as a layer of real padding under the spot that hurts. Over time, Liposana® integrates with your foot and is gradually replaced by your own tissue.
Held to the highest standards.
Liposana® comes from carefully screened donors and is prepared by a nationally accredited U.S. tissue bank that follows FDA standards for human tissue. Every step, from donor to your podiatrist's office, is designed with your safety in mind.

What to Expect
Every podiatrist has their own recovery plan. Here's the general path.
Home the Same Day
It's an outpatient procedure, so you go home the same day. Your podiatrist's team will walk you through what comes next.
Protect and Rest
Your podiatrist will build a recovery plan around your foot, which may include time off it or an offloading boot. Following it closely gives you the best shot at a great result.
Build up Gradually
When your podiatrist gives the green light, you'll add walking and light activity back gradually.
Back to What You Love
By the end of week 4, most patients are getting back to the things they enjoy.
