Why can’t we just surgically remove/lipo all the unwanted or excess fat at once?

I’m just curious. I’m sure if it was possible, it would be the most popular cosmetic surgery in the world. No more “my 600 pound life” shows, just go in and come out at your goal weight.

Fat is filled with blood vessels. Blood vessels are filled with blood. Sucking out fat can pop blood vessels. Blood vessels can fill the empty space where fat used to be. Skin can stretch and hold a lot more blood than there was fat. Blood outside of blood vessels is not going back to your heart. Blood not going back to your heart is not going to organs that need blood. Blood outside of blood vessels also starts clotting. Clotted blood makes unclotted blood start to clot too. Clotted blood can leak back into blood vessels. Blood clots can break off and block organs from receiving blood. Organs start dying without blood. Organs that get enough damage can’t be repaired. Humans that have enough damaged organs can’t live.
