I've seen removed skin had fat cells attached like a glue. While healing, does the fat cells get re-attached?
Answer: Healing Process and Fat Cells After Loose Skin Removal: Understanding the Recovery Thank you for your interesting question. When a plastic surgeon removes loose skin during procedures such as a tummy tuck, the excised skin often has some fat cells attached to it. However, the primary goal of these surgeries is to remove excess skin and, in some cases, tighten the underlying muscles. The removal of fat cells is not the primary focus but may occur as a result of the excision.

Answer: Normal healing process I’m not sure exactly what you are asking, but after a tummy tuck, the skin is pulled down and stitched to the lower pelvic incision. The skin flap always has fat underneath (which carries the blood to the flap and skin) and there is some fat left just above the muscle. During the healing process, the two sides touch and immediately there is scar tissue which binds them together closing off the space over time. The drain removes any blood or fluid which would normally accumulate and stop the two sides from touching and sealing together.

Answer: Do fat cells heal together? Hi and welcome to our forum!Fat cells do reattach...When in contact with other fat cells, they initially share nutrition by imbibing tissue fluid. Although relatively avascular, a somewhat tenuous blood supply will redevelop among the fat cells, which tend to adhere to each other and to surrounding tissues. There will be a scar interface at the site of the original tissue injury. Best wishes...
