A ‘Loub Job’ is the term given by designer Christian Louboutin for a cosmetic operation which allows an increased level of comfort when wearing high heeled shoes.

If your motto is ‘pain is beauty’ when it comes to your shoe fashion then this procedure maybe something you would like to consider however there are some points you may want to consider.

This new cosmetic procedure involves injecting collagen into the toe pads, heels and balls of your feet which creates a pillow-like result. A loub job takes just 20 minutes, lasts about 6 months and costs around $500.

Cosmetic foot procedures have doubled in the US over the last year and foot filler requests have increased by almost 21% since last year, according to the International Business Times.
