Pamela Lipkin
Pamela Lipkin (born 1952[1]) is a New York City-based facial plastic surgeon, specializing in nose workcopyedi.[2] She has appeared on Good Morning America and ABC News, among other media, weighing in on plastic surgery matters.[3] She is married to New York City mega-developer Bruce Ratner.
Background
She attended Cornell University[4] and graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse in 1978 for her medical degree.[1]
She has one son from her first marriage[4] and is a Republican.[5]
Career
She has been an advocate of Botox-use since the 1990s,[4] before its approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2002.[6] In 2003, she weighed in on Michael Jackson's nose job supporting the view that it was not as the star had described in the media, and that it was actually beyond repair.[2]
She has also been forthright about taking in patients in their 30s[7][8] although experts have opined such an age is too young for facial procedures due to the risk of scarring spreading.[9]
Her patients have included her sister-in-law, Fox News personality Ellen Ratner.[4] On HealthGrades, she rates 67 percent in patient satisfaction.[1]
Lawsuit
In 1999, a Manhattan jury awarded a 62-year-old patient of Lipkin's $600,000 for what they believed was an overzealous series of cosmetic procedures--face and brow lift operations, a nose job, and cheek implant corrections--on a woman who was already suffering from an addiction to plastic surgery.[10][11]
