Dr. Daniel Kapp of MDLIVE answered:Subcutaneous tissue is the layer of tissue that is directly beneath the skin. It may vary from very minimal, such as in areas of the eyelids, or as a thick layer as in the fat padding around the abdomen and waist. It is the subcutaneous tissue, or fat plane around the waist and abdomen, that is treated with surgical procedures such as abdominoplasty and liposuction. Most fillers are injected into the subcutaneous tissue and not directly within the dermis.

Dr. Stuart Linder answered:The subcutaneous tissue layer can be found directly beneath the skin. The thickness will vary depending on the area of the face or body. During my liposuction procedure, the fatty tissue (comprising) the 2 layers of subcutaneous tissue are suctioned. There is a superficial layer of fat in the abdomen (campers fascia) and a deeper layer called (scarpas fascia).

This is the layer between the outer skin and the inner muscle tissue. It consists of fat cells and does have blood vessels and nerves passing through it. It helps insulate the body from cold and provides cushion for the deep tissues from blunt trauma. It can also serve as a reserve source of fuel for the body.This is the layer between the outer skin and the inner muscle tissue.
