Just when you thought they couldn't come up with yet another place to inject!
In an attempt to be able to last the whole day in their skyscraper heels à la celebrity royalty, women have taken to having dermal fillers injected into their toe pads, heels and the balls of their feet. Procedures of this kind have increased by 21% from last year and are still on the rise.
The treatment, which promises to be virtually painless (honest guv!), take only 20 minutes and last for 6 months supposedly creates a pillow effect for feet eliminating the burning sensation we all know so well after we've spent too long tottering on our Loubies.
Costs start from a mere £320 (doesn't leave much to buy the shoes with?) and Shami Thomas, spokesperson for Transform Cosmetic Surgery group says, "Skyscraper heels are becoming ever more popular with the likes of Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole stepping out in towering stilettos on a daily basis and British women are continuing to copy the look."
Whatever floats your boat ladies, but surely the pain is there to tell you that you need to give your feet a break? If we can't feel the pain, lord knows what damage we could be doing to our feet. Misshapen toes, bunions, corns and the like are already on the rise...what's wrong with a good old fashion pair of Converse or summery sandals?
Until then...geek on!
