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.

Because all the fat, as I understand it, isn’t bound up in easily accessible layers of lard, meaning it’s abit more complicated to reach it all. That makes the procedure you propose far more risky, meaning good doctors will be more reluctant to clean you out completely.

Better to just clear out the largest excess pockets of fat, and put the patient on a diet and exercise regimen, to increase the chances of keeping the fat off.
