Have any surgeons considered using Liposuction as a treatment approach for Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome?

I’m told the only effective treatment for PCOS is “weight loss”, but research shows that it’s the excessive fat cells that are producing the excess hormones contributing to the hormonal imbalance of PCOS in the first place, making it near impossible to lose the excess weight. I have managed to lose 60+lbs but can't maintain with healthy diet and exercise. Could permanent removal of those excess cells through Lipo help reduce the hormone imbalance, making it easier to lose or maintain weight?
