About Pamela Lipkin

Born 1952. Pamela Lipkin is an American surgeon.

Pamela Lipkin (born 1952

She was married to New York City mega-developer Bruce Ratner until 2017.

Background She attended Cornell University and gave $10,000 to Republican Jeanine Pirro's gubernatorial campaign.

Career Lipkin is a noted nose specialist. An article appearing in 1991 called "The Miracle Worker" exposed her expertise in repairing bad rhinoplasties. She is adept at both primary and revision rhinoplasties. She has been an advocate of Botox-use since the 1990s, 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.

She has also been forthright about taking in patients in their 30s although experts have opined such an age is too young for facial procedures due to the risk of scarring spreading.

On HealthGrades, she rates 4.7 out of 5 stars in patient satisfaction.

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.
