What Liposana Tissue Allograft Is

Liposana Tissue Allograft is an injectable human adipose (fat) tissue allograft used at Family Foot Center to help restore the foot’s natural padding where it has thinned or been damaged. It is a ready-to-use, off-the-shelf donor tissue option, meaning it is not an autologous fat transfer and does not require liposuction or any fat harvesting from the patient.

It is one of four regenerative treatments offered at the Boca Raton and Boynton Beach offices, and is generally used specifically for cushioning loss rather than tendon, nerve, or general wound-healing needs.

How Liposana Tissue Allograft Works

Liposana is implanted at the specific site where fat pad loss or damage has occurred, most commonly the forefoot or heel. Once in place, it is intended to help redistribute pressure more evenly across the foot and to integrate with the surrounding tissue to provide longer-term cushioning support.

How Liposana Compares to Other Family Foot Center Treatments

Liposana is an adipose (fat) tissue allograft used specifically to restore cushioning, which distinguishes it from DPMx Tissue Allograft, a birth-tissue allograft generally used to support soft tissue and wound healing rather than cushioning. Liposana is also distinct from SoftWave Therapy and Remy Laser Therapy, which stimulate the body’s own tissue rather than introducing donor tissue.

Is Liposana Right for You?

01

Patients with diagnosed fat pad atrophy in the forefoot or heel

02

Patients who want to avoid the additional surgery required for autologous fat transfer

What to Expect During Treatment

Liposana is administered as an in-office injection at either the Boca Raton or Boynton Beach location, without the need for a separate fat-harvesting procedure. It’s a quick in-office injection, and we’ll go over timing and follow-up at your consultation.

Most patients can return to normal footwear and daily activities shortly after treatment, though the office will provide specific aftercare guidance based on the treatment area.
