If you've ever wondered, enviously, how celebrity and fashion-tribe women manage to strut red carpets for hours in sky-high stilettos, here's one possible secret: collagen injections in the balls or heels of their feet.
Yes, the shoe-obsessed are padding their padding to continue their footwear obsession. Collagen or hyaluronic acid (brand name Restylane) can plump up feet the way it plumps up faces.
"It's the procedure of choice right now," says Dr. Cohen, He says he has discussed plumping up scores of famous feet (no names, please, we're doctors), as well as ordinary mortals, with Restylane. "It's temporary — six to nine months — but it helps with high-heel mules when you're putting a lot of weight on the ball of the foot."
Alas, yet another sore sign of aging: After 40, foot padding starts to go. Still, even young and skinny women want extra upholstery down there: Heels magnify weight load on the tootsies.
. No surprise: It isn't covered by insurance.
