Liposuction Through Belly Button Not Possible?

July 22, 2009
Asked By:Jay-Jay in Los Angeles California

Why is it not possible to have liposuction through the belly button to remove fat from below the breasts to the top of the pubic area, pulling and cutting off the loose skin, recreating a new belly button, to eliminate major surgery? This would seem to me to be much less invasive with a more speedy recovery.
