why can’t fat be removed, like a tumor, from the body in a safe more commonly practiced medical procedure?

Wherever I turn people are wary of stuff like liposuction of other things like gastric ballooning. Why

As a general rule, doctors don’t want to cut you open. It leaves the door wide open for complications like a serious infection. An operating room is a limited resource in a hospital, super-sterile and doctors scrubbing up before going in. This is not meant to be a casual thing – it is for saving lives when the alternative to cutting the person open is them being dead, or at least something serious like unable to walk.

Also, if someone’s fat, they got that way somehow. Fixing their being fat by removing it doesn’t treat the underlying cause and it’s prone to just happen again in a year. If you can get someone eating properly and exercising, the fat will go away on its own. Yeah it’s slow but they’ll manage. And now you know the problem is actually solved.
