A cross-sectional schematic shows an implanted tissue expander positioned in the subcutaneous layer beneath the dermis and epidermis. The device, a medical implant (TE, tissue expander), occupies a pocket within adipose tissue (SQ, subcutaneous fat) of the integumentary system. In anatomy and reconstructive surgery, this implant is gradually filled—typically with saline—to stretch skin and soft tissue, generating additional coverage for later reconstruction. The hierarchy depicted includes epidermis, dermis, and subcutis overlying the expander within superficial soft tissues.
