There’s also “Foot-Tuck Fat Pad Augmentation,” in which fat from the patient’s abdomen is injected into the balls of her feet to provide extra cushioning for long days on high heels.
“It’s unrealistic to tell women not to wear high heels,” said the clinic’s founder, podiatrist Ali Sadrieh. “I came up with procedures that allow the women to function, pain-free, in the real world.”
Those are exactly kinds of cosmetic procedures that a big group of orthopedic foot surgeons blasted in a news release last month.

Some foot surgeons have been warning against cosmetic foot surgery almost as long — seemingly to little avail.
“Every stylish woman I know wants to do this operation, and as soon as they can figure out a more efficient way, it will become as common as a nose job,” said Manhattan public-relations maven Peggy Siegal, who says she is eager to have bunion surgery herself but is wary of the recovery time. “I am longing to have pretty, pain-free feet.”
“Our business is booming,” said Oliver Zong, a podiatrist in New York City’s financial district whose services include a “pinky tuck,” slimming down little toes that become bent and bulbous when jammed into high, tight shoes.
