Best Blepharoplasty Doctor
I have been waiting to do my eye surgery for several years. In the meantime I did quite a bit of research and and had friends who Dr. Fagien operated on and look spectacular. His professional and meticulous manner from the very first visit confirmed my choice and seven weeks out post surgery I have never been happier. I tell him he has a special gift and I’m grateful that he shares it with us.

His name was recommended to me from the PA at my Miami cosmetic Derm’s office. His office & staff are superb - very clean, beautiful aesthetic & very helpful. He has a great energy that put me at ease & no worries as I tend to be worried. I did my R lower eyelid Dec 3rd, 2020 to even out both my eyes from my natural bags & use of under eye filler throughout the years. It’s been 5 weeks. No one can tell I had something done. The first week was hard just due to the sleeping up but his work is very detailed, healed well & fast. I am coming to see him for my 5 week. I am very happy with his work. Thank you Dr. Fagien. I can’t wait to go back to him when I need to do the rest.

I have been going to Dr. Fagien since 2012. He is a consummate professional and has a great bedside manner in addition to exceptional skills. I always look like I just went on vacation, really natural. I rarely bruise and this is because he numbs you from the inside. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wanting to look refreshed and rejuvenated. He has an excellent skilled staff ready, willing and able to take care of you during your visit. He’s just the best.

Dr Fagien is a fabulous doctor. I can"t say enough about his talents, his kindness and his humor, He took droopy eyes and made them look beautiful again. No more droop. No pain! He worked with Dr Vaca, and he did a temporal brow lift. He was wonderful as well. The office staff is kind and welcoming and addresses all by their name. I can't say enough about these doctors' skills and I will return for touch ups over the years!

Dr. Fagien- the best plastic surgeon
I had a lip filler treatment done with Dr. Fagien two months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I used to have downturned corners of my mouth and very thin lips, but now the corners are lifted, and my lips are fuller, beautifully shaped, and incredibly natural-looking. My facial expressions, speaking, and all movements are as normal as ever.I feel like my face looks more youthful and vibrant, and my self-confidence has significantly increased. Even those around me, who usually don’t approve of cosmetic treatments, have complimented my new lips and said they love how natural they look.Thank you so much, Dr. Fagien for giving me such beautifully shaped lips and a smile that I truly love!

Amazing is an understatement ……
Dr. Fagien is one of those people from the start knows what is best for you and then explains the process to get there - imagine in healthcare in 2023 a doctor who cares? Well you don’t need to look further because not only does he care he cares deeply and so does his wonderful, kind, gentle and loving staff. I am just so happy with my procedure, came out of state and the process was made so very simple for me to understand and Trust. Don’t even consider anyone else and I have said the same to my sister who commentates on TV - when or if you want to have your eyes reviewed or surgery performed you are in the right hands - I have never seen such talent (if ever). Thank you sounds like not enough to Dr. Fagien and his staff!!!!!

Upper eyes
Dr Fagien has changed my life and made me more beautiful than I ever thought I could be. I was very nervous about getting my eyes done and researched all the top surgeons in the States. Finally, I had a consultation with Dr. Fagien and felt assured that I should move forward and get the droopy lids fixed. I can't believe how beautiful my eyes look. The lids and puffiness on the sides were removed. He took the exact measurements pre op and it was a perfect result. I wish I had done it sooner. He's a magician.

I had consulted other plastic surgeon who said I need a  brow lift . But dr. Fagien suggested just a minor upper lid skin removal. I scheduled my procedure. That was 6 years ago . I could not be happier.
He is perfectionist . I returned for fillers and Botox when was in town. And have to say results were fantastic. I highly recommend dr. Fagien.

Magic hands!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Fagien and his team! From the very first consultation, he made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to undergo an upper and lower eyelid surgery. Specifically, went to see him for a corrective surgery on my lower eyelid. I had a fat transfer gone bad from a previous surgeon which left a bump under my eye. With Dr. Fagan‘s magic hands he was able to remove most of the excessive fat in this very delicate surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Fagan as he is a very skilled surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and delivers amazing results. Thank you!!

If I could give Dr Fagien and his team 500 stars instead of just 5, I would! This is an amazing doctor with tons of experience. I am very satisfied with the results of my lower eye lid surgery which happens to have a fancy name:  Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty.
Being a business owner, a public speaker, and a zoom instructor, I have to look presentable. At some point, due to genetics, i noticed that my lower eyelids started sagging. It did not feel good. So I found the best oculoplastic doctor and asked him to fix it. Dr Fagien suggested the transconjunstival blepharoplasty.  Taken into account that my skin was otherwise young and firm, no fillers and no other extra procedures were offered. The surgery and the post op  was not at all painful! That was a great bonus!lol I came back to work in 5 days. I listened to all the recommendations and followups from my Dr’s office. His team deserves a special separate 5 star review! Everyone was super helpful and accommodating! I am very happy now! Thank you Dr Fagien!

Recently had some under eye surgery performed by Dr. Steven Fagien. My Dermatologist had recommended him and after a  thorough consultation chose him as he specializes in only eye surgery. He has been performing these surgeries for many years and aside from his knowledge and great personality he did an amazing job. The difference was dramatic and I have received so many compliments since the surgery . After the procedure, much to my surprise, I only had slight discomfort. He is amazing. Thanks Dr Fagien. His staff is incredible also especially Hanna Gross and Danny Pico. Thank you both. He is the best!!

He is deeply knowledgeable and has a winning personality. I am pleased that a doctor of his caliber was available for my needs.

What a positive experience!
My whole experience with Dr. Vaca and his staff has been exceptional.
Dr Vaca spent as much time as I needed during my consult to make sure I had answers to all of my questions. I felt so content that I cancelled my other consults - I knew Dr Vaca was the one. I am so very happy with the results of my mommy makeover procedure.  My self esteem has enhanced ten fold!
Not only does Dr Vaca have great bedside manners, but he also possesses extremely impeccable talented, artistically gifted and he is also a perfectionist, he was able to  keep my tattoos aligned from my tummy tuck to my breast augmentation /lift with no pain afterwards & No scars. Dr Vaca left me absolutely speechless I feel so honored that  he worked on me with his artistry .I will truly be a loyal life time patient to him.He is truly a prodigy, Dr.Vaca was born to do this!!

Simply the Best!
There is a reason Dr. Vaca is consistently rated 5 Stars. The experience starts with a phenomenal staff. From the moment you first call, you are treated with the utmost professionalism and personal touch. I just underwent a mini face lift with Dr. Vaca and could not be more pleased to have had him as my surgeon. He has impecable bedside manners. He takes tremendous pride in his craft, and as such, is meticulous and thourough. He listens attentively, addresses every concern, explains timelines, and sets realistic expectations. He takes his time to make sure the patient feels comfortable. At no point will you ever feel rushed. The procedure went so very smoothly, and so did the recovery. There was zero bruising, and very mild swelling! I was able to return to work within a week, and the end result was a very natural look! A youthful, and rested look. It is the combination of personal care and attention coupled with such quality of medical care that makes Dr. Vaca an exceptional surgeon

Dr. Fagien and his office staff could not be more professional or nicer! I had my eyelids done and took off my steri strips in my sleep. It was Sat morning so I called the answering service. Seconds later Dr. Fagien called me to meet him at the office and fix the problem. My Fiancé is a surgeon as well and could not have been more impressed with his perfect stitches and attention to detail. Thank you for everything Dr. Fagien, Devina , & Olivia I will definitely be recommending your office.

EXCEPTIONAL!
Dr Fagien is simply exceptional.  I’ve known him for 20+ years, and that level of trust made my decision to undergo surgery an easy one. His approach is both refined & conservative, resulting in beautifully natural, classy outcomes- my results exceeded my expectations!
He took the time to genuinely listen to my concerns- which feels increasingly rare these days, lol- and made me feel completely at ease. What truly sets him apart is his honesty, warmth & the way he treats you as a person, not just a number. He’s not trying to sell himself or any procedure, how refreshing! His staff is equally capable, professional & supportive, making the experience seamless. He is an expert in his craft & I’m incredibly grateful.

Perfection
I recently underwent a brow lift with Dr. Cava and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. The entire team was professional, and attentive. Dr Cava has a kind and gentle demeanor. He was very good at listening which told me that he was very detailed oriented and a perfectionist I am six months post-op and the results were better than expected! Thank you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Vaca and his team. Dr. Vaca fixed my deviated septum. The results have been fantastic with no complications or issues. Dr. Vaca and his team were always incredible to work with - always extremely pleasant, communicative, and responsive. Additionally, Dr. Vaca's knowledge and expertise is beyond impressive.

Dr. Fagien came very highly recommended by three different friends. I had gone for two prior consultations with other docs in FL and NY for my eyelids which were droopy with excess skin and dark circles below. Once I met with Dr. Fagien, I knew that he was the right choice immediately. He is a highly respected oculoplastic surgeon whose work is the gold standard in this field. He performed upper and lower blepharoplasty on me, and I couldn't be happier with the natural results! I 100% recommend him. I have had so many complements on my 'refreshed' look and am SO happy I chose him to perform the surgery. Your eyes will thank you.

I’ll never tire of saying what a gentleman Dr. Fagien is, but most important, what an outstanding, awesome doctor he is.  When I moved to this area some years ago I asked another Doctor to recommend me an Oculoplastic Surgeon, and without hesitation he said, “Steve Fagien, he is the best of the best, and I trust him blindly”.  He was right 101%.

I loved Dr. Fagien’s candidness.  He suggested I go to my endocrinologist to have  my thyroid checked because my eyes and bridge over my noise are so swollen.  After that, he suggested I come back in for a consultation.

Dr. Fagien is the best of the best. I am a very high maintenance patient, extremely nervous and anxious. Dr. Fagien and his staff were incredibly caring and comforting. Dr. Fagien’s bedside manner helped me feel relaxed and gave me the knowledge that I had picked the right doctor for the job.

The most wonderful experience— Dr. Vaca is an expert in his field! I’ve wanted surgery for several years, but I was always unsure about which surgeon to see until I met Dr. Vaca. The entire process from consultation to surgery day to post-op has been incredibly smooth. The entire team (office staff & surgical center staff) are top notch. Thank you for being amazing!!!

Dr. Vaca is incredible. He has an outstanding quality of medical care. I got my lips done with him for the first time ever and I can say that I am extremely happy with the results. He took his time and listened to what I wanted and then explained everything to detail. I immediately felt at ease and confident in my receiving expert medical care.

Dr Fagien is by far the most talented surgeon I have seen. Not only does he have an artists eye he has an artists hands with surgeon skills. Dr Fagien strives for and achieves natural results which enhance beauty and restore a youthful appearance. The staff is also compassionate and knowledgeable.
Overall my experience has been extremely positive and I look forward to continuing care with Dr Fagien.

Love my new breasts!
Hands down the best Plastic Surgeon I have come to know in my search for someone to fix my breasts. After breast feeding my children and dealing with asymmetrical breasts my whole life, I set out to find a surgeon to help me feel revitalized. I interviewed many but Dr. Vaca checked all the boxes. He has an elite academic pedigree. He carries himself with a reassuring confidence yet is somehow approachable and nice. I could go on but the results speak for themselves. The meticulous attention to detail in his plan and execution is superb. The size, positioning and symmetry between my breasts couldn't be more perfect. Dr. Vaca is a true artist and gentleman and I recommend him without hesitation.

The best thing that could have happen to me is finding Dr. Vaca to have my brows lifted. They look better than when I was 20 years old. Can’t wait to get the rest of my face done when gravity calls.

Facelift
De. Vaca is meticulous and talented but also very kind. A combination not always found in surgeons. My facelift was only a week ago but it’s looking great already. The whole office is great!

Dr Fagien and his team are the best! I had my upper eyes done in August 2020, they turned out terrific and the doctor’s office called me every day for a week to check on me and see how I was healing after my surgery. I’m so glad I made this decision and I highly recommend Dr. Fagien for anyone who wants beautiful youthful eyes.

Eye Surgery
Dr Fagien and his team are the best. I got a fantastic result with my eyelid surgery and it was relatively painless. I was at my office 48 hours after surgery. Everything went exactly as planned and Dr Fagien exceeded my expectations in every way. He is for sure the “Eye Guy”.

I have been a nurse at Northwestern Hospital for over 20 years, so I have seen many doctors come and go. I work in the PACU and recover patients after various surgeries. Plastic surgery is one of them.

So about 2 years ago there is all this talk about this guy in plastics who is a true “prodigy”.... of course my curiosity got the best of me and I started asking around. Elbert Vaca...Dr. Elbert Vaca... the best surgeon anyone has come across in a very long time.... ( this talk is coming from well known (experienced) surgeons ) ...

Over the next 2 years, I was able to recover Dr. Vaca’s patients after various types of plastic surgeries. And the results were dumbfounding....he was Incredible .....his results impeccable...honestly, “perfection” in its truest form...

I have Personally seen him for Botox and filler.... his work is amazing. *People look like a better version of themselves, not fake or unrecognizable.*

I am 48 years old and will travel to Florida to see Dr.Vaca when the time comes for me to get my face and neck lift... this will also include my upper and lower eyes. He is going to do some fat transfer into my faces as well.. ( Trend alert: this is the new filler ladies!!!)..........

I want the world to know about Dr. Vaca because he is so gifted. This is an example of where “years of experience” need not be considered... he is a prodigy. He was born to do this and if you go to him... your life will change! I no longer have a fear of aging..... as long as he is around! That is also a gift.

As a plastic surgeon I knew exactly who to trust for my recent eyelid surgery.  Dr Fagien is a talented, skillful and detail-oriented surgeon who did a beautiful blepharoplasty for me.  His office staff are very responsive and helpful, as are his operating room  team.  I highly, highly recommend Dr Fagien - he is truly a "surgeon's surgeon".
