Why is it dangerous to liposuction stomach fat deep of the muscle?

I understand that it's dangerous because of a chance of injuring the intestines, but couldn't it be done carefully enough to where organs may not be injured; for example, what about just taking a little fat under the stomach muscle with precise instruments.?

1. there is a new groundbreaking procedure out there called body jet liposuction where they use water to gently rinse out the fat as opposed to standard liposuction procedure, where fat is just openly sucked out. So with this new procedure I'm sure getting around the muscles and organs is pretty much a cinch,Hope I've been of some assistance.
2. Once you get below the muscle layer, all of the internal abdominal organs are enclosed inside a sac called the peritoneum. Infection or injury in the peritoneal sac is extremely dangerous - when someone has appendicitis, for example, the infected appendix isn't immediately life threatening, but when it ruptures, spilling intestinal contents and bacteria into the peritoneum, the person is in big trouble. Breaching into this area is considered major surgery, and there are many complications from it - most people will have some adhesions after abdominal surgery (where things stick to each other instead of sliding around like they are supposed to), and may need repeat surgery to correct that, which itself can cause more adhesiions, and so on. Also, most of the fat around your organs is part of the structures designed to protect them, and are almost inseparably intertwined with the vast network of blood vessels that feed the organs. You don't have random fat just jiggling around with everything inside of you - everything is structured, and there for a purpose. Not only would it be dangerous to take out this visceral fat, it would also be useless, as there isn't really any excess hanging around there. The majority of the extra body fat carried by people is stored superficially, between the muscle and the skin, which is where you do liposuction (which, incidentally isn't all that safe either, but certainly safer than digging around your intestines).
