Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the anterior trunk: The anterior trunk consists of several layers, including the epidermis (outermost layer), dermis, subcutaneous fat (also known as superficial fascia), deep fascia, and muscle layer.

Recognize the function of subcutaneous fat: This layer, located beneath the dermis, primarily stores fat and provides insulation and cushioning for the body. It is the layer targeted during liposuction procedures to remove excess fat.

Differentiate between the layers: The epidermis is the outermost skin layer, the deep fascia is a dense connective tissue layer surrounding muscles, and the muscle layer is responsible for movement. None of these are targeted during liposuction, as the procedure specifically focuses on the subcutaneous fat layer.

Relate liposuction to the subcutaneous fat layer: Liposuction involves the insertion of a cannula to suction out fat cells from the subcutaneous fat layer, reducing fat deposits and reshaping the body contours.

Confirm the correct answer: Based on the anatomy and the purpose of liposuction, the targeted layer is the subcutaneous fat (superficial fascia).
