Choosing a plastic surgeon is about more than beautiful before and after photos.

Some of the biggest green flags have nothing to do with social media and everything to do with how you’re cared for.

✔️ Board-certified training and expertise.
✔️ A surgeon who takes the time to answer your questions and never rushes your consultation.
✔️ Someone who is well-versed in both surgical and non-surgical treatment options and can tailor their recommendations to you.
✔️ A surgeon who’s willing to say “no” when a procedure isn’t in your best interest.

The best care isn’t about doing the most. It’s about understanding all of the options and recommending what’s truly right for you.

Looking and feeling refreshed doesn’t always require a procedure.

Great skin starts with consistent care. Cleansing properly and using thoughtfully formulated ingredients can help your skin look smoother, softer, and healthier over time.

That belief inspired Dr. Michelle Copeland Skincare: science-backed formulas designed to give your skin the daily support it needs to look and feel its best.

At our practice, your consultation is with Dr. Michelle Copeland or Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin. We take the time to listen, answer your questions, perform computer imaging when appropriate, and help you understand all of your options.

From your consultation through your procedure and follow-up care, your treatment is guided by your surgeon every step of the way.

Whatever treatment you're considering, your consultation should leave you feeling informed, comfortable, and confident in your decision.

Two female plastic surgeons, two perspectives, and one shared commitment to our patients.

There can sometimes be a sense that successful women have to compete with one another. Working together has taught us just the opposite. When strong women support each other, share their expertise, and bring different perspectives to the table, everyone benefits.

In our New York City plastic surgery practice, that collaboration allows us to approach patient care thoughtfully and individually, with two experienced minds working toward the same goal.

We’re proud to be women in medicine, plastic surgeons, and an example of what can happen when women choose to lift each other up.

There’s no greater compliment than the trust of our patients. 🤍

From the first consultation through surgery, recovery and beyond, our goal is always the same: to make every patient feel heard, cared for and completely confident in their care.

Thank you for trusting us with your story, your goals and yourself. We never take that privilege lightly.

Swipe to see this rhinoplasty + neck lipectomy before and after. 👀

When procedures are planned together, it’s not just about changing one feature. It’s about considering how the nose, chin, jawline, and neck work together to create overall facial balance.

Here, rhinoplasty was combined with neck lipectomy for a more balanced profile while maintaining a natural-looking result.

We specialize in scarless “closed” rhinoplasty techniques, which allow us to reshape the nose without a visible external incision. That approach, combined with careful planning of the neck and jawline, helps us create a more refined profile while keeping scarring as discreet as possible.

5 things I’d never do to my skin as a plastic surgeon. ✨

You don’t need to chase every skincare trend or build an overly complicated routine to take great care of your skin. Consistency, daily protection, thoughtful exfoliation, antioxidants, and the right products can go a long way.

My philosophy is simple: cleanse, exfoliate, activate, moisturize, and protect. It’s also the philosophy behind Dr. Michelle Copeland Skin Care.

She was my first role model. Now she’s my colleague. 🤍

There’s something incredibly special about going from watching your mom build a career she loves to getting to work alongside her.

As mother-daughter doctors in New York City, we’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from one another, support each other, and share a career we both love.

Some full-circle moments never get old.
