Learning From the Best
Dr. Vath received his bachelor’s degree at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and his medical degree at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, New Jersey. He then completed his general surgery residency at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, DC. During this period, he also undertook a research fellowship through the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Turning his attention to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Vath received his plastic and reconstructive surgery training at the Louisiana State University Medical Center and Charity Hospital. He then sought further specialized training in Los Angeles at one of only a dozen fellowships in the country accredited by The Aesthetic Society (formerly the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). Dr. Vath trained under world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Grant Stevens, whose surgical expertise in breast reduction procedures has indelibly influenced Dr. Vath’s own practice.
Dr. Vath’s devotion to his craft has led him to learn from other masters in his field, including Dr. Dan Baker, a leading expert in minimal-incision facelift procedures, and the acclaimed father-son duo Dr. Harlan Pollock and Dr. Todd A. Pollock, who pioneered a drain-free approach to abdominoplasty. Dr. Vath uses this specialized knowledge to refine his techniques and deliver even better outcomes for his patients.
Stepping into Dr. Vath’s plastic surgery universe isn’t just tallying up his years of experience—it’s about witnessing the beauty of transformation. … He’s not just in the business of making changes; he’s redefining the art of feeling fabulous again.

What sets Dr. Vath apart? His impeccable skill and commitment to delivering the best care possible draw patients from around the country to him. Discover more about his specializations and philosophy below.
Tummy Tuck
He was the first plastic surgeon in Colorado to offer the no-drain tummy tuck after seeing how the standard approach was based more on tradition than science. Dr. Vath has performed over 3,000 of these procedures, delivering high patient satisfaction and an enhanced recovery experience.
Mini Facelift
Dr. Vath finds great joy in performing mini facelifts for candidates who could benefit from a short-scar procedure. With thousands of these surgeries under his belt, he has expertly navigated the nuances of achieving natural-looking and sustained results while limiting his patients’ bruising and swelling during recovery.
Breast Reduction
After training under Dr. Stevens and seeing how breast reduction procedures could give patients a more comfortable existence (in addition to more youthful-looking, attractive breasts), he felt compelled to specialize in this procedure. This focus has grown over the years, making breast reduction a major emphasis in his practice.
Breast Lift Without Implants
Similarly, Dr. Vath has pivoted away from the notion that breast implants need to be part of the solution. Over the years, his philosophy has developed based on his evolving awareness that perky, attractive breasts require lower, rather than upper, pole roundedness. By repositioning the breast tissue in a breast lift, Dr. Vath helps his patients achieve beautiful, long-lasting results without the need for implants and future revision surgery.
Breast Implant Removal (Explant Surgery) With Lift
Patients wishing to remove their existing implants can also benefit from Dr. Vath’s specialized skill and attention to detail with a combined explant surgery and breast lift. In his practice, Dr. Vath has focused on managing the challenges that come after long-term implant use, such as skin laxity, breast tissue atrophy, and health concerns, to restore an attractive, perky breast shape.
