Lipids are long chains of fatty acids. An easy way to remember this is to remember what i liposuction is! A liposuction is a procedure many people get to remove fat from certain areas of their body - and it’s one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. Lipids and Liposuction both start with Lip/Lipo because both roots mean fat!
