Dr. Copeland-Halperin and her entire office team is the best. They were able to see me on short notice for an urgent medical procedure. Dr. Copeland-Halperin was super patient and thorough in explaining what to expect, communicating during the procedure itself, and in follow up check-ins. The incision is barely noticeable and healing well several weeks post procedure.

Update: I’m 6 months post-op now and the incision healed beautifully. You can’t really see it. I had some firmness where the lipoma used to be after the surgery, and it completely went away recently. ———- If you have been thinking about getting your lipoma removed, just do it! I bumped my right shin in 2018 and wasted so many years researching non-invasive treatments because I was worried about having a large visible scar. I lost 20 lbs. this year, and it made my lipoma more prominent instead of shrinking it. I went to Dr. Copeland all the way from DC because she is the best at lipoma removal with minimal scarring. I’m 3 weeks post-surgery, and the scar for my quarter-sized lipoma is only 2mm after following all her care instructions. It was my first surgery, and she gave me such a thorough consultation. During the removal procedure, she and Lauren, her nurse manager, had incredible bedside manner, were so reassuring, and tried to make sure that I was comfortable. I was so self-conscious about my lipoma, and Dr. Copeland gave me my smooth leg and confidence back!

Multiple Angiolipoma Removal My experience with Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin was fantastic. I have an extremely large amount of angiolipomas on my body (100 – 200) in clusters on my arms, torso and legs due to some genetic issue. Ultimately, at some point I had enough angiolipomas that they were causing constant pain/pressure and needed to be removed. Insurance and most surgeons were only willing to remove a few at a time (1-4) thus I needed to see a Plastic Surgeon for the volume. The practice’s minimally invasive excision/liposuction method was fantastic and has led to great results with minimal cuts/scarring despite removing almost 100 angiolipomas. The procedure led to significant pain relief that physical therapy alone (which I already did) couldn’t solve. The practice has a state of the art surgical suite so both the consult and surgery was conducted on site. Both Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin and Dr. Michelle Copeland performed the procedure simultaneously making for a quicker & smoother procedure. I can’t speak for if every surgery would be conducted on site. Ultimately I am very happy with the results and really the pain relief I experienced.

I went to see Dr. Libby to remove a lipoma on my forehead, an injury I sustained from my Brazilian jiu jitsu practice. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Libby to anyone seeking professional medical services. Here are a few key highlights from my experience. First, Dr. Libby communicated extremely well. Throughout the process, she kept me well-informed about the pre, during and post events, specifically what to expect in each of the stages and addressed questions I had. Next, she dove into the details to thoroughly understand the situation. For example, my dermatologist ordered an ultrasound imaging for the bump; the technical writeup was not conclusive on the lipoma. Dr. Libby, under her own conviction, contacted the technician to ask questions and confirm her expectations and came back to me with results. Third, Dr. Libby performed the removal procedure flawlessly. I had local anesthesia and was able to chat with her during the process. Lastly, the entire office was a pleasure to work with. Lauren and Andrea were great with follow up details and I was pleased throughout the process.

I am a physician and very particular about who I will see for medical care. Dr. Copeland-Halperin is phenomenal! She is able to remove lipomas, including clusters and larger ones, through the tiniest incisions with great care given to minimize any potential scar. She is experienced, tremendously talented, and could not have a better bedside manner. She and her staff did a wonderful job of handling any pain and anxiety during my lipoma removal surgery. I highly recommend her and her staff for whatever your plastic surgery needs may be.
