At Greater Texas Foot & Ankle Specialist, board-certified podiatrist Dr. Dean Kim, DPM, FACFAS, ABPM offers advanced Foot Filler treatments using Liposana®, a cutting-edge adipose tissue graft designed to restore the foot’s natural cushioning. As we age or experience repeated pressure, the protective fat pads in the feet can wear down, leading to pain, instability, and limited mobility. This condition—known as fat pad atrophy—can significantly impact daily activities like walking, standing, or exercising.
To address this, Dr. Kim provides Liposana® injections, a minimally invasive, biologically active treatment that restores lost padding, reduces pain, and helps prevent further damage. Whether you’re dealing with metatarsalgia, Morton’s neuroma, or post-surgical discomfort, Liposana® offers a natural, long-lasting solution to support comfort and function. Serving patients across Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and the greater DFW area, Dr. Kim is among the few specialists trained in this advanced technique. Call today or schedule a consultation to learn how foot filler therapy can help you walk pain-free again.
Foot filler is a minimally invasive treatment used to restore lost or damaged fat padding in the foot—often due to aging, injury, or conditions like diabetes or foot deformities. Dr. Kim uses Liposana®, an FDA-registered human adipose allograft, to cushion and support high-pressure areas of the foot.
Liposana® is implanted into the areas of fat pad loss using a simple injection procedure. It immediately provides cushioning, volume, and shock absorption, acting like a “biological boot.” Over time, it integrates with your tissue and supports long-term healing and restoration.
Foot filler is effective in relieving pain and improving function for the following:
Fat pad atrophy – often causes chronic heel or ball-of-foot pain
Metatarsalgia – inflammation and pain in the ball of the foot
Morton’s neuroma – nerve irritation or thickening
Calcaneal bursitis – inflammation of the heel bursa
Post-surgical defects – areas where cushioning was lost after surgery
Patients treated with Liposana® by Dr. Kim report:
Immediate pain relief and cushioning
Improved function and mobility
Natural integration and remodeling by the body
Long-lasting results (18+ months)
No synthetic materials or adverse reactions reported
Dr. Kim also applies Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques to treat conditions such as heel pain, sports injuries, fractures, and more.
His approach prioritizes precision, minimal disruption to surrounding tissue, and faster recovery—always choosing minimally invasive methods when they are clinically appropriate.
Dr. Kim may recommend offloading the foot for a short period post-procedure to ensure optimal healing. Liposana® is the only product that retains the native structure and properties of human fat, offering a clinically backed, regenerative approach to restoring comfort and foot function.
