Yup--one small area has visible adipose tissue (fat). It is a small portion of the total area, and I was blown away that it was that bad. The plus is that this portion doesn't hurt (as you may know, the destruction of cutaneous nerves in the area limits pain in 3rd degree burns). It is gonna scar, but it joins a pre-existing collection on my leg.

And many full thickness wounds (meaning wounds to the adipose layer) can heal without grafting depending on their size/location. Mine is no bigger than a coupe of pencil erasers, so it will granulate just fine.

(Rob--the simplifications aren't for you but rather for non-medical folk who might read this.)
