Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin Double board certified plastic, cosmetic, & reconstructive surgeon with special training in advanced breast surgery.

04/26/2026

Cosmetic breast surgery is one of the most researched areas in plastic surgery — and one of the areas where the quality of the surgeon and their training matters most.

Dr. Copeland-Halperin and Dr. Copeland have published peer-reviewed research on breast surgery outcomes, including studies on:
→ Implant placement protocols and their effect on radiation delivery after reconstruction
→ MRI screening adherence after silicone implant surgery
→ Reduction mammoplasty techniques

This isn't incidental to her practice. It shapes it. When she recommends an approach, it's backed by outcomes data — including her own published research.

Cosmetic breast procedures Dr. Copeland-Halperin and Dr. Copeland offer:
→ Breast augmentation
→ Breast lift (mastopexy)
→ Breast reduction
→ Combination augmentation + lift
→ Implant revision and replacement

The consultation is where it begins. Tell us what you're thinking. We'll tell you what the research — and our experience — says is the best path forward.

She got me ready for my first day of school. Now we get ready for surgery together. Some things come full circle. 🥼 ✨

If you're considering plastic surgery, this list could save you from a very bad decision.

Red flags to watch for when choosing a surgeon:

🚩 Not board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. (Other boards exist — ask specifically about this one.)

🚩 No hospital privileges — a sign they can't operate in a hospital setting if needed.

🚩 Rushing you to decide. A good surgeon is never in a hurry.

🚩 Showing only dramatic before/afters. Great surgeons show natural, believable results.

🚩 Refusing to discuss risks in full. No ethical surgeon claims surgery is 'risk-free.'

🚩 Price that seems too low. In plastic surgery, as in most things, you get what you pay for.

🚩 No formal residency or fellowship training in plastic surgery.

Luckily, we're all GREEN flags here:

✅ 🟢 Dr. Copeland: Harvard MD, Harvard DMD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Mount Sinai faculty, 30+ years in practice.

✅ 🟢 Dr. Libby Copeland-Halperin: Double board-certified. Dartmouth. Brigham and Women's. AI Section Editor for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Fifth Avenue.

Share this with anyone you know who's considering surgery. It matters.

A walk through Central Park—our daily ritual, a shared pause, a reminder that even in the heart of New York, nature endures. 🌷 💚 🌱

Caring for the Earth, caring for ourselves—it’s the same philosophy. Thoughtful, consistent, and rooted in respect for what’s been given to us.

Happy Earth Day.

The stuff doctors actually use. ‼️ ‼️

Perhaps our fave: The "Rewind Advanced Day Serum" contains Matrixyl 3000 — one of the most clinically studied peptide complexes in anti-aging skincare.

What it does >> Tells your skin cells to produce more collagen!! Fewer fine lines. Firmer texture. Brighter tone.

Dr. Copeland formulated her line at medical-grade concentration — because trace amounts don't move the needle.

Not skincare. Skin science. 🥼 🧬 🔬 ✨ 💟

5 skincare ingredients plastic surgeons actually trust (and why they work):

1. ✨ Matrixyl 3000 — signals your skin to produce more collagen. Not a trend. Clinical data backs it.
>> Try: Rewind Advanced Day Serum

2. 🍊 Vitamin C — antioxidant + brightener. But only at the right concentration.
>> Try: Revitalizing Formula with Vitamins C & E 2 oz.

3. ☄️ Lipoic Acid — a powerful free radical scavenger that works at a cellular level.
>> Try: AHA Face Cream with Lipoic Acid & Vitamin E

4. 💧 AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) — resurfaces without the harshness of harsher peels.
>> Try: AHA Body Smoothing Lotion with 16% Alpha-Hydroxy Acid

5. ⛱️ SPF 40 with clear zinc oxide — to block sun damages before it starts. (The only anti-aging step that actually prevents damage before it starts.)
>> Try: SPF-40 Lotion Mist Broad Spectrum Sunscreen

Dr. Michelle Copeland built her entire line around these. Every product. Every formulation.

💾 Save this. You'll want it.

My mom, my business partner: The first woman plastic surgeon in United States history to earn both an MD and a DMD from Harvard University simultaneously.

That's not a headline. That's the foundation of a career.

Dr. Michelle Copeland didn't just break through a glass ceiling — she didn't seem to notice it was there. She went on to train at Massachusetts General Hospital, New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Downstate Medical Center, and Mount Sinai, where she eventually served as Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at the City Hospital at Elmhurst.

This is what it looks like when a pioneer practices medicine.

30 years of performing surgery have taught Dr. Michelle Copeland something the skincare industry rarely talks about:

The skin you're in right now is capable of remarkable renewal! 🌱

"After thousands of procedures, I watched skin recover, repair, and regenerate — with the right support. That's biology."

Collagen can be stimulated. Damage can be reversed. The aging process in skin is not a one-way street.

That's why Dr. Copeland created this line. Not to sell you hope, but to give you the science.

As a plastic surgeon and biochemist, Dr. Michelle Copeland knows skin from the inside out. That’s why Dr. Copeland created Dr. Michelle Copeland Skin Care with powerful antioxidants designed to help repair, protect, and visibly rewind aging skin.

Healthy skin first. Everything else follows.

The difference may be subtle. The consistency isn’t.

Data from studies in JAMA suggests female physicians are associated with improved post-surgical outcomes.

Proof that details, precision, and approach matter.

Grateful to be among so many exceptional women in medicine.

I grew up watching my mom break barriers in plastic surgery—becoming one of the first in the country to do many of the things she did.

Now, I have the privilege of not just following in her footsteps… but standing beside her in practice every single day.

Legacy isn’t just what you inherit—it’s what you continue.
