Pamela Lipkin (born 1952 [1]) is a New York City-based facial plastic surgeon, specializing in nose work. [2] She has appeared on Good Morning America and ABC News, among other media, weighing in on plastic surgery matters. [3]
She was married to New York City mega-developer Bruce Ratner until 2017. [4]
Background
She attended Cornell University [5] and graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse in 1978 for her medical degree. [1]
She has one son from her first marriage [5] and gave $10,000 to Republican Jeanine Pirro's gubernatorial campaign. [6]
Career
Lipkin is a noted nose specialist. An article appearing in 1991 called "The Miracle Worker" exposed her expertise in repairing bad rhinoplasties.[ citation needed] She is adept at both primary and revision rhinoplasties. She has been an advocate of Botox-use since the 1990s, [5] before its approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2002. [7] 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 [8] [9] although experts have opined such an age is too young for facial procedures due to the risk of scarring spreading. [10]
On HealthGrades, she rates 4.7 out of 5 stars in patient satisfaction. [1]
Legal issues
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.
