A fat pad is essentially a localized cluster of fat tissue, typically found in certain areas of the body that require extra padding and protection. Such regions include behind the eyes, around the kidneys, behind the knees, beneath the heel bone, and within the cheeks, especially noticeable in babies. Fat pads that form irregularly could either be benign growths or could emerge in the presence of certain conditions like lipodystrophy. This explanation is provided in the English language.
