Michelle Coppenger, RN

Registered Nurse
Aesthetic Consulting Imaging Specialist

Michelle Coppenger received her Bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Delaware. She has worked in the Atlanta Plastic Surgery offices and operating rooms for over 20 years. Serving as Dr. Burstein's Aesthetic Consulting Imaging Specialist, Michelle photographs patients before their procedures and then shows them the potential results that cosmetic surgery can accomplish based on each patient's goals through imaging software. Coppenger's work also helps Dr. Burstein because he uses the images as a reference during surgery. Along with surgical imaging, Michelle Coppenger also performs non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments like eMatrix™ non-laser skin resurfacing and Ulthera® non-surgical facelift.

Michelle's favorite part of her job is interacting with patients and showcasing what can be achieved through cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. When she's not in the office, Coppenger spends time with her teenage daughter, playing tennis and working with her favorite outreach groups like the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, National Charity League, Community Action Center in Sandy Springs, and Foster Care Support.
