what is in the subcutaneous layer of skin
The subcutaneous tissue is the innermost layer of skin. It is primarily made up of fat that helps insulate your body. The fat also acts a bit like a shock absorber to cushion precious inside organs from the outside world. This is the layer that thins as we age.uring 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).
Skin has two layers, the epidermis, which consists of epithelial tissue, and the dermis, which is connective tissue. Below these is a connective tissue layer called hypodermis, or subcutaneous tissue. This hypodermis isn't really skin at all, but we'll study it with the skin because it is so closely related.
