The body shape is formed by bone, muscle, and unfortunately, fat. Skin has no bearing on it.
The layer of skin that acts as a protective cushion, providing contour and shape to the body, is the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis. This layer consists of fat and connective tissue, which insulates the body, absorbs shocks, and anchors the skin to underlying structures like bones and muscles. It plays a crucial role in overall body shape and protection against external impacts.

Skin is connected to the body by a layer of connective tissue called fascia.
Melanocytes are found in the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of skin. They are responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color and helps protect it from the sun's harmful rays.
