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 have developed lipoma removal expertise which includes combining excision with liposuction techniques to remove lipomas with minimal scarring and quicker recovery time. Read more about our lipoma removal techniques in our publication: Combined Liposuction and Excision of Lipomas study. 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.
Put me at ease
Came on the recommendation of my doctor for some lipomas. Dr. Copeland-Halperin and everyone in her office was so kind and put me at ease because I don’t like visiting the doctor? She removed them and everything looks great. Would definitely recommend!
Forever grateful
An amazing experience from the beginning! I have delt with a facial lipoma for 7 years. Visited many specialists. Dr Libby Copeland-Halperin
Was very professional and sympathetic to my condition. She was able to remove the lipoma safely with a team She put together. Dr Copeland-Halperin’s entire staff are kind helpful and professional. I would not hesitate to contact there office in the future. I am forever grateful. Feeling like I can live my life to the fullest again !!
Top of their game
I highly recommend Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin. She and her entire office are incredible, caring, attentive and at the top of their game. They made me feel comfortable and taken care of at every step of the way. From my initial consult, to the procedure day itself, to the recovery and follow ups. I am super happy with the care I received as well as the results . I’ve already recommended friends and family to her practice.
Compassionate
Greatly appreciated the kind & attentive staff, thorough after care, and excellent results after skillful procedure. Dr. Copeland-Halperin was compassionate and diligent in answering my many questions.
Lipoma removal
Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin performed an extraction of a 7 cm lipoma on my upper arm. Her minimally invasive extraction techniques, including the use of liposuction, allowed for a much smaller incision (about a half inch) versus other surgeons I considered. Her time and attention, personal accessibility, surgical skill and consultation support made for a smooth and stress free process. I highly recommend her as a plastic surgeon for serious consideration if you are exploring removal of a lipoma.
Experienced and knowledgeable.
Love this doctor! She is so good about explaining the procedure. I felt right at ease and comfortable during the procedure which was a removal of a small cyst on my back. No pain at all.
She really is experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
