Submental skin: morphohistological study of interest to liposuction

Abstract

Skin study of the submental region in cadavers made possible the evaluation of its regional characteristics. Sex or race were not reported, but the age group most appropriate to liposuction was considered. In this way, the authors believed that through standards established at the time, results, as to the skin retraction in liposuction, will be able to be analyzed in a comparative form in the future.
