The skin of a Gallifreyan had more subdural and subcutaneous layers than a human, adding considerably to its durability and damage resistance. Gallifreyan skin tended to reject foreign objects such as subcutaneous implants or tags relatively quickly. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Burning Heart (novel)|Burning Heart]]'') Implants that went below the subcutaneous layers, such as those that bonded with [[cartilage]], would be retained.
