Superficial fascia is found in the subcutis in virtually all regions of the body blending with the reticular layer of the dermis. It is present on the face over the upper portion of the sternocleidomastoid at the nape of the neck and overlying the sternum. It is mainly loose areolar connective tissue and adipose and is the layer that primarily determines the shape of a body. The superficial fascia joins with the Fascia of Scarpa to form the superficial fascial system.
