Final answer:

Liposuction cannot remove visceral fat because it is too close to organs and liposuction only targets subcutaneous fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liposuction cannot remove visceral fat because visceral fat is too close to organs and liposuction only targets subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds the organs in the abdominal cavity and is different from subcutaneous fat, which is the fat that is located just beneath the skin. Since visceral fat lies deeper and is intertwined with organs, it is not possible to remove it through liposuction which is performed on the subcutaneous fat layer.
