A graduate of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Spivak completed his residency at the prestigious University of Southern California, where he trained under pioneers in the field and quickly distinguished himself for both technical skill and visionary thinking.
Over the past decade, Dr. Spivak has developed a reputation as a surgeon who not only delivers exceptional results, but also redefines what’s possible in awake body contouring. He is the creator of proprietary techniques and surgical systems that have raised the bar for safety, consistency, and natural outcomes—approaches that are now emulated by practitioners across the industry. His hands-on training programs and quality assurance protocols have shaped the clinical culture at multiple high-volume practices and have directly influenced the standards of care in outpatient aesthetic surgery.
In addition to his aesthetic work, Dr. Spivak has served as Medical Director for complex wound care
programs across multiple hospital systems, overseeing multidisciplinary teams and leading clinical turnarounds that dramatically improved patient outcomes. His research in gene therapy for craniofacial anomalies—recognized with multiple national awards—has been published in top peer-reviewed journals and presented around the world.
