Lipomas or fatty tumors are benign tumors of mature fat cells that may appear anywhere on the body. Although the majority of lipomas are not harmful, patients often choose to remove lipomas for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Dr. Michelle Copeland and Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin are NYC lipoma removal specialists who have successfully treated patients from all over using liposuction techniques combined with excision to remove lipomas with minimal scarring and quicker recovery time.

When you schedule a consultation, we will discuss the options to provide the best results. Lipoma-removal surgery takes place in our private AAAASF-accredited surgical suite.
Friendly, caring, attentive
I highly recommend Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin to removing lipoma with minimal scar. She and staff are friendly, caring, attentive all the time. They made me feel comfortable and taken care of me all the way through the process. Dr Copeland-Halperin is knowledgeable and professional about the procedure. She’s very patient and easy to communicate with my questions and concerns, she also has superb bedside manner. I am glad I found her.
Awesome
Awesome patient care and service. Never lacking in help or follow up services. Highly recommended.
Large lipoma removal
Dr. Michelle Copeland removed a very large neck lipoma using her “scarless” combined liposuction/excision surgical procedure. The results are excellent. The small incision made under my chin is barely visible. It has been almost a year since the procedure was completed and there are no visible signs of the lipoma returning.
From initial contact through to follow-up, Dr. Copeland and her staff were attentive, caring and professional. They also helped ensure that I had everything organized for the procedure, as I was arriving from Canada.
I would recommend the expertise of Dr. Copeland and the minimally invasive cutting-edge lipoma removal procedure that the clinic offers. Having this procedure done spared me from having the lipoma removed using the standard practice of direct surgical incision.
Thank you, Dr. Michelle Copeland, Andrea, Lauren, Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin and Dr. James O’Neill and the rest of the team.
