At a wedding in October, Krystyna, 37, towered over the rest of the assembled guests in four-and-a-half-inch stilettos. Abba and “Come on Eileen” boomed from the speakers. Eventually, the party trailed off. “My family around me all kicked their shoes off under dinner tables and had to sit down for 20 minutes at a time,” she remembers. Krystyna, though, kept on going. She was on her feet for eight unstoppable hours. See, Krystyna had undergone a stiletto lift. In other words: she’d been injected with foot Botox.
By now, everyone knows about the use of cosmetic injectables to plump and prime faces, but feet? The procedure – which is rising in popularity – involves injecting a combination of Botox and dermal filler into the arch of the foot, paralysing the muscles in your heel bone. Filler is also injected into the ball of the foot, effectively adding a cushion of skin to reduce discomfort.
