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.

That would be a massive surgery and it would be extremely traumatic for your body. When you become fat/obese, you put on fat *everywhere*. Not just in your tummy, but also in your arms, legs, face, and around your organs as well. To remove it all in one operation would mean basically opening up the skin of your abdomen, all your limbs, and your face and also isolating every organ and removing the fat that surrounds it.

That would be *incredibly* stressful for your body and no surgeon would ever consider doing it.
