No Foot approval: Sculptra is FDA approved for HIV lipoatrophy and cosmetic facial enhancement. Any other use would be considered off-label usage. You might find a doctor that would do this but I know of no study or research on the subject of feet fat pad augmentation.

It is cheaper: A panniculectomy is a simpler procedure that a tummy tuck so it is cheaper. A tummy tuck procedure is composed of muscle plication, reset of the belly button and panniculectomy. A complete tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure with more results than a panniculectomy. A panniculectomy is a half done tummy tuck.

Wait for maturity: It is always possible to do a chin augmentation but for a cosmetic correction it would be best if the patient was more mature. You do not want the implant to cause a problem with the growth of the immature bone. This skeletal maturity is about 16 years old in a female and 18 in a male.
