Doctors are pretty smart about knowing where to inject Botox, but not as knowledgeable as to how often. Why is this? The casual use of Botox seems to be the rule: "I'll get more when I need it." This is a good idea in principle, but our busy lives and competing priorities make this a flawed strategy.
Natural Fat Transfer, or fat grafting, is the process of transplanting live fat cells from an area of your body where you don't want it-such as your tummy or hips-to an area where you do want it, such as your lips, facial lines, temples, breasts, hands and even earlobes. Once the live cells are transferred, they grow in place developing their own blood supply and becoming a permanent part of your body. Natural Fat Transfer is not only long lasting, but rejuvenates the donor area, even improving the skin.
Want smoother skin? You can reduce wrinkles, erase sun damage, and refine blotchy skin with CO2 Laser skin resurfacing. Skin resurfacing has always been the best way to smooth wrinkles, but old laser methods sometimes produced complications and/or discomfort. CO2 laser produces great, long-lasting results quickly with minimal discomfort and very little downtime.
Maybe you've always been self-conscious about your ears. Maybe your child has been taunted about the shape or size of his or her ears. Or maybe you've always wanted to wear short hairstyles or up-dos with confidence. Aesthetic ear surgery, or otoplasty, can create shapely ears and increased self-esteem.

When I realized that I was aging very poorly I started to lose my self confidence. People thought I was much older than my actual age. My face was sagging and my cheeks had lost much of their volume. What bothered me the most was two very deep lines which ran from each side of my nose to the sides of my upper lip. They looked awful. I started researching and consulting with local surgeons.

I expanded my search to out of state doctors. I saw a total of eleven. All of them agreed that a facelift would improve my appearance. But there was nothing they could do to help the two deep lines. Then I was introduced to Dr Koplin. He recommended a facelift along with natural fat transfer from my own body. He also assured me that he could improve the two deep lines.

The surgery itself was painless. The aftercare provided by Dr Koplin and his staff was outstanding. The results exceeded my expectations. The two lines were completely eliminated! Feel free to look at the before and after photos.

Dr Koplin is THE BEST cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills. He is a very kind, warm and focused man. The service and scheduling were a breeze. After the bandages came off and the swelling subsided, the difficult rhinoplasty far exceeded our expectations. He truly is an artist and perfectionist.

Dr. Koplin is one of the best surgeons in Beverly Hills. He's worked magic on multiple people I know personally. He's extremely reputable, kind and experienced. Way ahead of the rest in his field. He spent a lot of time with me during a consultation to thoroughly discuss a major revision I need. I feel safe with him and am looking forward to going back. He's a wonderful man!

Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review I had such a great experience at Dr. Koplin's office from start to finish. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Caroline is an absolute doll! They were extremely conscientious about safety protocols (very important in the time of Covid.) I came to see Dr. Koplin about an issue that I have not been able to find a solution for elsewhere.

The doctor put me at ease immediately and spent a great deal of time explaining the options to me and making sure I understood and felt comfortable going forward. I am so so happy with the results! I highly recommend this practice!

I went to see Dr Koplin for scar revision. Two scars I had from a surgery 6 years ago had keloided badly - they were raised, thick and still red. Dr Koplin came highly recommended and did not disappoint. His office staff are extremely warm and professional, I never had to wait before being seen, and Dr Koplin himself is very patient, kind and did a terrific job revising the scars.

He is a perfectionist, so I have been back (gratis) 4 timers just so he can check on the healing to make sure it is all going well. I am now 6 weeks out from the procedure and the scars are beautiful! A thin, thin line, and looking SO much better than the original scars after 6 years! I am extremely pleased and wished I had gone to see him sooner!

I expect that in a few months the redness will be gone and the scars will be invisible. I recommend Dr Koplin highly. I havent had any plastic surgery with him (yet:) so can only attest to his kindness, professionalism, attentiveness, perfectionism and scar expertise.

I am a professional stunt woman and cut my knee pretty bad, which originally was not taken care of properly. I went into see Dr. Koplin for help. Him and his staff saw me after hours and fixed my knee. They were absolutely AMAZING and I can't thank them enough for taking the time to take care of me the way that they did. Thanks to him I can go back to work and my knee will heal properly. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I have been a patient of Dr. Koplin's for several years. I have had laser resurfacing and regular botox treatments, and I am so happy with my appearance and often receive compliments on how I look -natural and refreshed, which is exactly what I wanted! I am an RN, and always feel like I am receiving excellent care from Dr. Koplin's staff. I appreciate how Dr. Koplin has understood my goals for my appearance, and has never urged any procedures beyond these goals.

He is very generous with his time and discusses and explains all options and possible procedures, and answers all of my "what if's". I will be scheduling a procedure in the near future, and feel confident that I will be very happy with the results.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Koplin and his whole staff. I am so happy with the work that Dr. Koplin did for me; it's exactly what I wanted and he made sure during our pre-operation meetings to ensure that he understood the results I wanted while giving me his professional opinion. In addition to being a consummate professional, Dr. Koplin is incredibly passionate, engaging, and attentive. An added benefit I didn't know I needed, but now can't imagine not having had, was his amazing staff.

The entire experience from initial consultation to post-op appointments has been so positive. The front, desk, nurses, and anesthesiologist were incredibly warm, attentive, and GREAT at their jobs and I actually enjoyed going in for all of my appointments.

Dr. Koplin is the absolute BEST! I couldn't recommend him enough and I know lots of people who have been to other doctors. I would only trust him with any plastic surgery that you are doing.

Excellent results for facial/neck surgery. I feel and look ten years younger, maybe more. Dr. Koplin's artistry, client service, professionalism and friendliness of his staff made the whole experience enjoyable. They never tried to talk me into any procedure, but followed my requests. The healing process was very fast, and the follow-up very helpful. My first experience with Dr. Koplin's face/neck improvements was six years earlier, and I was very pleased then. So I came back for more! Betsy B-C.

Dr. Koplin performed upper and lower eyelid surgery on me in December 2018 and I couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone in Dr. Koplins is office is kind, patient and compassionate and Dr. Koplin is wonderful. He sets expectations that are realistic and is an artist at what he does. I feel very comfortable in reccomending the Dr. to anyone who may be interested in this type of surgery.

Dr. Koplin is a wonderful surgeon, and also a wonderful human being. I first saw him 2002, after interviewing four other plastic surgeons. I choose him because of his warmth, his professional experience and recommendations from all the nurses I knew at Saint John's. I was very pleased with my results, felt well cared for and I am now back to consider an eye lift. Dr. Koplin suggested we try some Botox first, with the plan that perhaps less surgery would be required in a few months.

I am again very pleased with the results. I did not and would not consider any other plastic surgeon! Dr. Koplin's staff is also fantastic and he has been working with the same anesthesiologist for about 30 years, which both says a lot about the two of them, and also is great news for the patients! Save yourself a lot of time, and go straight to see Dr. Koplin.

Dr. Koplin is a true professional! From beginning to end (and no matter how many times in-between) his demeanor is caring, patient, and thorough. He listens to everything you have to say and makes one feel 100% comfortable. I had breast reduction surgery and am VERY happy with my result. The staff is wonderful, too. Especially Mimi, she is sweet, caring, and trustworthy. I would recommend Dr. Koplin in a heartbeat.

For over thirty years, for procedures big (face lift, neck lift) and small (lipo, fat grafting), Dr. Koplin has ALWAYS been the consummate Plastic Surgeon. He is skillful, precise, knowledgeable, artful, communicative, kind and approachable. When you place total trust in the competency of a doctor who could really cause irreparable damage on many levels - and each time your trust is re-affirmed - well, you have found THE ONE.

His staff, his surgical suite, the pre-operative explanations and the follow-up care are simply not quantifiable. His long time nurse and anesthesiologist round out an almost family "operation." Each "visit" has been the best experience AND result (the most natural -never artificial.) I'll end by saying that Dr. Koplin is also a really nice guy and an attentive listener.

I Had a breast augmentation by the amazing Dr. Koplin. I am extremely happy with the work he did and my breasts are very very natural looking. Dr. Koplin is a very experienced, knowledgeable and professional Dr. with great bed side manner. He made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable with my decision from start to the aftercare. His staff are very friendly and made me feel very comfortable at all times. I highly recommend Dr. Koplin for all your surgery or injection needs.

Dr. Koplin is not only one of the finest surgeons but an incredible artist with an eye and heart for details. He is caring, professional, personable and listens to your concerns. He is honest and realistic about outcomes and works with you to achieve incredible results. I had a full breast reduction and tummy tuck. I followed his instructions to lose weight before surgery and the process and steps he recommended.

The outcome is beyond my expectations and I have never felt or looked better. I am 65 and have a renewed passion for life. The process was not easy or fast, however taking the time to create the best possible results took Dr. Koplin, his incredible staff, my husband and me. I lost 45 pounds, reduced and lifted my breasts and now have strong muscle strength and an hourglass figure from size 16 to 12! I feel and look years younger but more that that I know I have made the best possible choice for years to come. Thank you Dr. Koplin!

Before choosing a plastic surgeon for a facelift, I asked my family doctors and my husband's doctors who they would recommend, and without exception the named Dr. Koplin as the best surgeon in the business. This certainty that I was going to the very best made every other step easier, because I had the confidence of knowing I was in great hands.

With Dr. Koplin and his staff, I felt informed and cared for every step of the Way. I also trusted his aesthetic choices as I had seen his work and knew it to be reserved and natural. The results are amazing. No one really knows I had anything done, but I have had many people say I look younger, more rested, beautiful. Having this procedure has made my outsides look like my insides, and choosing to go with Dr. Koplin ensured that the result was everything I had hoped for.

I have been going to Dr. Koplin for 16 years and would not consider another surgeon. No one has ever asked me if I had any facial work done because his work is so natural. A person never looks artificial. I have never been in pain after any procedure and never had any complications. I have been very happy with all the results which included Botox, upper and lower facelift and upper eye lid rejuvenation. Dr. Koplin explains everything thoroughly, he is patient and I have never felt rushed.

I recommend him highly and am confident that I will continue to look younger than my age. His staff is very friendly, efficient, accomodating, pleasant and professional. His anesthesiologist is excellent. and is a very caring individual. Judy M.3/19/2015

Dr. Koplin is an amazing surgeon! He creates beauty. I have had 5 operations with him over a 20 year period and i was very very happy with each one! His staff is great! Dr. Koplin is down to earth and comfortable to talk to. I do not look my age--just look good and not overdone. Each time I understood what the outcome would be, what the process was and what I could expect. That meant a lot!

I love coming to Dr. Koplin's office for my Botox on a regular basis. I have had a couple of surgeries with him. He is an artist and an extremely skilled surgeon and his operating staff are the nicest people, ever! The front office staff is kind and knowledgeable and always a pleasure to see and interact with. Dr Koplin, you are the best!

If you want your before and after photos broadcasted to the public, then go to Dr. Koplin. I was very concerned that my surgery be kept private and that my Before and After photos be kept confidential. He promised me he would NEVER show anyone my before and after photos. He looked me in the eye and gave me his word. I stopped by his office after my surgery and started flipping through his Before and After book that he shows all of his prospective patients, other doctors, and even posts ONLINE.

To my shock and horror, there was MY FACE (before and after) right there in his book sitting on the lobby coffee table, on the very first page. I was livid, mortified, and felt deeply violated. Dr. Koplin LIED to me to my face and had no remorse for exploiting me and my image for his own monetary gain. Dr. Koplin is not to be trusted. He ought to have his license revoked and be barred from practicing medicine.

Stay away from this liar with a scalpel, or be prepared to have your before and after pics online for the whole world to oogle and in his office for anyone who comes in to see.even if he promises the opposite.

Beautiful office, friendly and professional staff, and Dr. Koplin really takes the time to make sure you understand everything. You feel as if you're at a day spa rather than a doctor's office. And the bottom line- excellent results!
