title: [Subcutaneous fatty tissue].
abstract: Up until now, subcutaneous fat has been considered to be a distinct entity. Recent studies have demonstrated chemical and metabolic differences between 2 kinds of fat, mobile fat and fixed fat. The main aim of this article is to show that these differences also have histological, embryological and anatomical implications. Their surgical consequences are important for plastic surgery and lipoplasty procedures.
