Tóm tắt

The distribution of the fat tissue in the subcutaneous layer is described. Since it has specific characteristics in each region of the human body, careful evaluation of the distribution before selecting patients for surgery is necessary. The subcutaneous tissue after an operation frequently demonstrates a thick and hard fibrosis which is evidence that liposuction should be performd in the lamellar layers. This type of fibrotic tissue in the subcutaneous areola layer often brings on irregularities and ungraceful waves on the skin surface.
