Statement: Dr. Copeland-Halperin is board-certified in General Surgery and board-eligible in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery and the author of over 70 publications and presentations at regional and national scientific meetings.

A native New Yorker, Dr. Copeland-Halperin was raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and attended the Horace Mann School. She studied at Williams College, where she earned her baccalaureate degree in Art History and played for the softball team. During college, Dr. Copeland-Halperin was selected to join the Humanities and Medicine program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, an early acceptance program designed to attract and foster humanistic medical students. After receiving her medical degree, Dr. Copeland-Halperin completed residency in general surgery at the Inova Fairfax Medical Center, a large tertiary care hospital in Northern Virginia, where she became Chief Resident for Quality and Safety and served on several hospital committees. She engaged in research on patient safety and quality outcomes in both general and plastic surgery and won awards for research and teaching.

After training in general surgery, Dr. Copeland-Halperin pursued additional training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where she was exposed to the full breadth of plastic surgery, including reconstruction after trauma and cancer, aesthetic and cosmetic surgery, wound healing and correction of congenital deformities. She then completed advanced training in microsurgery at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston with a focus on implant-based and autologous breast reconstruction. She brings a humanistic dimension to plastic surgery and enjoys helping patients achieve their cosmetic, aesthetic, and reconstructive goals through a combination of surgical and non-surgical techniques.

Reasonable expectations for gynecomastia surgery and abdominal liposuction?
Gynecomastia surgery
Nov 17, 2023
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs! I would need to examine you to best answer your question. Gynecomastia is often an inherited condition that cannot be improved without surgery. Fortunately, the condition can be treated with liposuction. With this technique, I make a small hidden incision in the areola (the colored area around your nipple) and use a combination of liposuction techniques with very fine cannulas to recontour the chest. This combination of...
Considering options, stuck if I should aim for abdominal liposuction or tummy tuck? (Photos
Gynecomastia with abdominal contouring
Nov 17, 2023
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos! I would need to examine you in-person to best answer your question. It depends on your goals, but based on your photos, you may be a good candidate for liposuction of your stomach/abdominal area. In a tummy tuck, the skin from the rib cage down to the pelvic area is tightened, the navel is repositioned, and your core muscles can be tightened. However, this requires a larger scar and longer recovery time. With liposuction, fine cannulas...
Am I a candidate for fat transfer?
Breast lift with fat transfer
Nov 17, 2023
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos! I would need to examine you in-person to best answer your question. However, based on your photos, you may be a candidate for a breast lift with fat transfer to the cleavage area. A breast lift (mastopexy) helps give a perkier, more lifted breast. During this surgery, excess skin is removed, the nipple is repositioned, and the skin is re-draped and tightened to support the breast. This can be combined with transferring your own fat...
What type of surgeon would be best to see for moderate to large ankle lipoma removal?
Lipoma removal
Oct 3, 2023
Thank you for your question. While I would need to examine you in-person to best answer your question, I regularly remove lipomas in our office's fully-accredited operating room under local anesthesia without the need for general anesthesia or IV sedation. I perform lipoma removal using a minimal-scar technique using a combination of liposuction and direct excision. While lipomas are considered "benign" (meaning not cancerous), they have a tendency to increase in size over time and do not go...
Does a lipoma removal on your ankle need to be done by surgery only? Or can it be done with
Lipoma removal
Oct 3, 2023
Thank you for your question. I would need to examine you in-person to best answer your question. However, I regularly remove lipomas in our office's fully-accredited operating room under local anesthesia without the need for general anesthesia or IV sedation. I perform a minimal-scar technique for lipoma removal using a combination of liposuction and direct excision. I find a smaller scar helps patients recover quickly and is also more aesthetically pleasing. While lipomas are considered...
What would you recommend for calf fat reduction? (surgical or non surgical)
Lower leg liposuction/calf reduction
Oct 3, 2023
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. I would need to examine you in-person to best answer your question. From your photos, you may be a good candidate for liposuction of the lower legs. Many people are bothered by a maldistribution of fat in the lower legs, which can make it difficult to wear boots and skirts/dresses/shorts. I use a combination of liposuction techniques to contour the ankle, calf, and/or inner knees using fine cannulas inserted through small incisions. I...
Buffalo hump removal costs?
"Buffalo hump" treatment
Oct 3, 2023
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. I would need to examine you to best answer your question. This could represent fatty tissue or could be a lipoma (a non-cancerous fatty tumor), which could be addressed with liposuction. If it is a lipoma, I perform lipoma removal using a minimal-scar technique through a small incision. I recommend you speak with a fully-trained plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss treatment options. Good luck!
