The area under your chin, around your neck.
"Retrosternal" means behind the sternum (breastbone), while "fat pad" refers to a localized accumulation of fat tissue. Therefore, a retrosternal fat pad is a collection of fat located behind the sternum in the chest area.
There are fat pads located throughout the body, commonly found under the skin and around organs. Their main function is to store energy, provide insulation, and protect structures from impact. Examples include the plantar fat pad in the foot for cushioning and the perirenal fat pad around the kidneys for protection.
Buccal pad of fat
Hoffa's pad, also referred to as the infrapatellar fat pad is located below the kneecap. This soft tissue separates the kneecap from the end of the thigh bone called the femoral condyle. When the kneecap is hit, the infrapatellar fat pad works similar to a shock absorber, protecting the structures underneath.
I don't understand how it could.
It means: I (the doctor) have taken note that there is fat on the top of (whatever body part or area was being examined).
The fat pad is a normal structure in the knee. It is literally composed of fat and is bright yellow in colour and exists below the patella (kneecap) just behind the patellar tendon. In this position it buffers any shocks to the front of the knee, but itself commonly suffers injury and problems related to the fat pad are not uncommon.
The fatty pad in the knee, also known as Hoffa's fat pad, is a soft tissue structure located behind the patellar tendon in the front of the knee joint. It serves as a cushion for the knee joint and helps with shock absorption. Inflammation or injury to the fatty pad can contribute to knee pain and swelling.
I believe that it can. I tried I-lipo and all that is is heat pressure on the stomach to break up the internal fat. The heat pad can help promote sweating and that also reduces belly fat.
the renal fat pad.
A fat pad is less dense than the surrounding tissue, because of the large amount of fluid in fat cells. Fat pads show clearly as blacker areas on x-rays compared to the greyness of the surrounding muscles and ligaments.
