Leneva: Restore Forefoot Comfort | Podiatrist In New Orleans, LA

What Is Leneva®?

Metatarsalgia, or ball-of-foot pain, can make standing and walking difficult. At New Orleans Podiatry, we use Leneva®, a quick, non-surgical fat grafting injection that restores lost cushioning by helping your body regenerate its own fat tissue.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Foot Assessment – Our podiatrist evaluates the affected area and marks injection points
Leneva® Injection – The sterile AEM material is carefully injected beneath pressure points
Massage & Shaping – The injection site is gently shaped for even distribution
Recovery – You can walk two weeks after the procedure; results develop over several months
Total treatment time is less than 30 minutes

Post-Procedure Care: Offloading Is Essential.

Patients must offload the treated foot for four weeks
A knee scooter is loaned to minimize pressure on the ball of the foot while new tissue forms.
Failure to offload can negatively impact results and reduce the effectiveness of the graft.

Recovery & Results

First 24 hours: Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site
Weeks 1–4: Offloading period (boot or knee scooter required)
Weeks 2–4: Gradual decrease in discomfort as tissue regeneration begins
By 3–6 months: Full results as new, natural padding forms
Long-term: Many patients experience relief for approximately 12 months (outcomes will vary)

Will I Need More Than One Injection?

Some patients may need additional injections every 6–12 months until sufficient cushioning is restored.
Individual outcomes can vary, and fat regeneration is not always achievable in every case.
