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. 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.
Sebaceous cyst removal
I highly recommend Dr. Copeland-Halperin for anyone seeking sebaceous cyst removal or similar procedures. She is incredibly patient, kind, and thorough in her communication. Dr. Copeland-Halperin took the time to address all my questions and concerns, ensuring I felt completely comfortable every step of the way.
She was very mindful about keeping the incision small to minimize scarring, which I truly appreciated. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome is remarkable.
The experience was further enhanced by her amazing team. Nurse Lauren and front desk staff Andrea are excellent professionals—friendly, caring, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Their warm and welcoming attitude makes the entire process smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and meticulous doctor with a fantastic support team, Dr. Copeland-Halperin is the one to see. Highly recommend!
Lipoma removal
Excellent doctor! Excellent patient experience. I had a lipoma removed by Dr. Copeland-Halperin in a hospital setting. She has had a wonderful bedside manner and explained everything thoroughly since day one. Her office staff is also great. I have not had to deal with any unprofessionalism whatsoever. Nobody looks forward to medical procedures, but she makes the experience as pleasant as possible.
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.
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!
