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.

It’s not just existence of the fat that matters. Changing the person’s habits also matters, and there’s no shortcuts for that. If you don’t change the habits, the weight will come right back. It’s the same reason why alcoholics can’t get liver transplants, it’s a pointless surgery and waste of an organ when the likelihood of success is miniscule and risk of failure is still basically guaranteed.
