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.[11][12]
