The whole experience was very comforting, caring and inspired confidence. I considered getting my eyes done for a long time but when I was finally ready Dr. Fagien and his stuff made this process wonderful. My results are incredible and I would recommend this practice to everyone who considers any kind of plastic eye surgery.

Highly recommend Dr. Fagien! He is the best!! The past couple years, I’ve been researching which doctor to perform my upper and lower blepharoplasty. After several consults with doctors in Beverly Hills, I was referred to Dr. Fagien, from my cosmetic dermatologist, in Miami. After meeting Dr. Fagien and his staff, I knew he was the right one. The results are beyond my expectation! From start to finish, my experience was positive and I would highly recommend Dr. Fagien and his team. Thank you for everything!!

In July 2022 I had a brow lift done by Dr. Vaca. I knew I needed the work done and was a great candidate for it but I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had never had one done before. I cannot be more pleased with the results! I look so much younger, my eyebrows look amazing and one can actually see my (pretty) eyes now. The recovery was simple, and the procedure painless. I would do it again in a second ! Thank you to all the staff at Dr. Vaca’s office and the surgical center also. They could not have been kinder.

Dr. Vaca is truly amazing! From start to finish, my experience with him and his team was nothing short of exceptional. I had a procedure with him, and the results exceeded my expectations—I only wish I had found him sooner! His skill, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched, and I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. Beyond his expertise, his staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, making every step seamless and stress-free. I've already recommended Dr. Vaca to so many people in my network, and I will continue to do so without hesitation. He's an artist :) :) 10/10

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!

However, Dr. Fagien and his staff exceeded my expectations! Everyone was so professional, friendly and caring. Six months later, I am thrilled with my results! My eyes look amazing! Dr. Fagien is the best at what he does and I highly recommend him.

The BEST I had eyelid surgery in March and cannot be more pleased with the results! Dr. Fagien is simply the BEST and his staff is wonderful. I am so glad that I trusted my eyes to Dr. Fagien - he is truly an artist extraordinaire who gave me the natural look that I desired. He has a wonderful and caring personality as well, and he and his amazing team including Dani, Devina, Victoria, and Hannah (apologies if I am missing anyone) “held my hand” the entire journey and answered any and all questions, anytime that I asked. The surgery and recovery was exactly as explained with minimal discomfort. Even two weeks after the surgery I was hearing “you look great” and “were you on vacation?” from people and co-workers who didn’t know I had my eyelids done. 10 weeks after surgery, I am thrilled and the results will only keep improving as I heal completely. Thank you, Dr. Fagien and team - truly love the way I look and appreciate the excellent care that I received !!

After thoroughly investigating Doctor Faigen, I learned he’s a master, & gained such respect. When I personally sat down & consulted w/ Dr Fagien, my hopes were better than expected. He’s board certified, beyond educated, an educator, he advances medicine & his peers applaud his findings & study under him. Beyond his aesthetic eye & skilled hands, he’s cool, funny, makes you at ease & THATS totally unexpected. He’s not pushy, but gracious w/ your time, & very personable. His staff loves him. When I mention his name to other Dr’s there is such respect. He’s such a valuable human being, in medicine & to me now. My only regret was that I waited so long to meet him.

The results of their expertise was matched by the Boca Raton Surgical outpatient staff. My expectations were exceeded! Dr. Fagien was recommended by 2 of his patients who were treated by him in the past. Plus! His participation,involvement and leadership in philanthropic commitments are exemplary to what ‘the practice of medicine ‘ should be all about! Thank you.

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.

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!! Bob S.

This is the only man you should trust with your eye improvements surgery. His resume, experience, and medical publications are above and beyond reproach. He has been doing this for so long and has developed insights and new procedures to maximize the benefit and minimize the pain and downtime, that he is considered a master by the other doctors in this particular niche of surgery. His office is neat, clean, and crisp and inviting. The staff is so very supportive and really go the extra step to make sure you are comfortable throughout the whole process. My results were fabulous and the whole experience was much easier than anticipated. I have never had elective surgery and was very frightened to go through with this. But my eyes were rejuvenated and i am very comfortable now with the look and feel of my upgraded eyelids. Truly real pros in every aspect.

this was my first experience and it was truly wonderful. dr Fagien takes his time and does a meticulously fantastic job doing the fillers. You do not have to be nervous because of the way they numb you and because of the tools dr Fagien uses. Basically painless. Everything about this office is so professional and friendly, that I can highly recommend to everyone who wants a bit of beautification. And the best thing is that nobody really notices what happened to me, but they just tell that I look good. And that is what I wanted.

I write this review as a dermatologist and Mohs micrographic skin cancer surgeon with 42 years of clinical experience in general, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. I have also reconstructed numerous facial wounds after removing complex skin cancers on many of my patients’ faces. With my experience, I have a full appreciation for the complexity of eyelid surgery. I have referred numerous patients for ocular plastic surgery during my career. 18 years ago, I had disappointing cosmetic eyelid surgery that ultimately left me uncomfortable and disfigured. I consulted with three other ocular plastic surgeons who recommended that I do nothing and simply live with the result. I heard Dr. Fagien speak at a cosmetic surgery meeting, where he addressed the particular problem that I had. In that presentation, he spoke about the techniques he had developed to reconnect the outside parts of eyelids to the surrounding bone. I was relieved to know that someone would be able to correct my problematic previous result. I met with Dr. Fagan at which time we discussed my concerns. All of my questions were answered with compassion and respect. In my case, the lack of eyelid support by the orbital bone and excessive surrounding skin created unnatural webbing, narrowing of the opening of my eyes and discomfort from displaced and ingrowing eyelashes. The procedure that Dr. Fagien performed, known as lateral canthoplasty with retinacular suspension, enabled correction of the discomfort and disfiguring changes that had developed. I could not be more grateful or happier! And I think I look a few years younger, but all of my friends and family say I look at least 10 to 20 years younger, especially since Dr. Fagien removed those pesky bags under my eyes, as well🤩! Dr. Fagien carries world renowned stature for his skills, innovations, publications and kindness. I would trust him with any of my patients, family members or friends. In addition, Dr. Fagien and his staffs’ professionalism and attention to detail are unparalleled!

Went to Dr. Vaca for a deviated septum and rhinoplasty. He has a reputation for being extremely detail oriented and knowledgeable. I am only about 3 weeks out, but for the first time I am waking up feeling well rested! My nose already looks amazing and finally fits my face. I know my case was not the easiest and I am so thankful I chose him! Highly recommend!

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

I've had some Botox for around my eye area and deep wrinkles on my nose close to my forehead area and fillers for deep lines in my lip area and cheeks as well and a shot of botox in my jaw area for grinding teeth at night this is not necessarily aesthetic. Its been about a week and I am taking double takes when I walk by mirror. My eye liner stays where I put it and I have cheekbones and my mouth is pouting. I'm 72 next week. He's that good!!

Incredibly impressed with my botox injections. This is the first time my crows feet have been injected and I can still smile naturally. My forehead looks amazing yet no one has said “oh you just had Botox” because it looks so great!!! Plus I added filler this time around and the results are so natural I can’t even believe it’s in there unless I look at the before photo and see wrinkles/lines that are now gone!!!!

Upper blepharoplasty Dr. Fagien, who did my blepharoplasty, I truly do not have enough words. He came highly recommended by over 12 individuals who had nothing but incredible things to say about him and his work, and now I completely understand why. For over two and a half years I struggled with hooded eyelids. I stopped wearing makeup and I did not feel like myself.He is truly exceptional at what he does. His work reflects a level of precision and perfectionism that is rare to find. He is incredibly gifted at his craft, and it shows in every detail. His approach is conservative yet flawless. The lines are beautiful, the healing has been incredible, and the result is exactly what I hoped for, refreshed and natural, not altered. I am beyond grateful for his skill, his care, and the beautiful result he gave me.

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.

Dr. Vaca is fantastic! He talked me through my procedure so I felt comfortable with the process. He spent considerable time explaining post op instructions and I look and feel great.

Dr. Vaca and his staff are truly amazing. They make you feel very comfortable everytime you come in and always check up on you! He has great bedside manner and truly listens and gives his honest opinion! I went in to get filler for the first time and he helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. He is an artist who pays close attention to details. I will for sure be returning for all future botox and filler! He goes above and beyond to make sure every patient is satisfied.

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Fagien! I can’t thank Dr. Fagien enough for literally “fixing” my eyes after a botched procedure in New York. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Fagien and his entire staff are beyond wonderful—professional, kind, and truly dedicated to their patients' well-being. If you’re out of state and looking for the best doctor, I highly recommend making the trip to Florida. The quality of care, expertise, and attention to detail is absolutely unmatched. I honestly wish I had come to him first. The results speak for themselves, and I’m so grateful for the positive change he’s made in my life. If you’re considering eye surgery or any related procedures, don’t hesitate—Dr. Fagien is the doctor to trust! You will not regret it!

Dr Vaca is patient, thorough and meticulous in his work. I had asked to “backfill” the volume that I had lost over the years in my lips. He listened to what I wanted and gave valuable suggestions. He then allowed me the time to make my decision and I am more than pleased with my results.

The doctor as well as his staff really took their time with me and answered all my questions to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I had virtually no pain and am thrilled w the results. Thanks doc!!!

masterful artistry This is unsolicited unpaid genuine review. I am a doctor and I did a lot of research and chose Dr. Fagien based on his reputation, experience, and cases. I had zero doubts when I scheduled my consultation for which I had to wait nine months and then my surgery was nine months later. I was told that I will not have any pain and will not need a single after the procedure. Dr. Fagien is a perfectionist and is a great seasoned meticulous surgeon who has protocols based on science and experience. The surgical center was extremely professional, surgery went off without a hitch exactly as he described in the initial consultation. I had absolutely zero pain. I was back to work four days later with stitches, that nobody even noticed, including my own patients. I went out to social events without Make Up and had no reservations. If you’re contemplating any eye surgery Run don’t walk because you will have to wait at least two years!

I first worked with Dr. Fagien early in my career as an operating room nurse and knew then that if I ever needed cosmetic eye surgery, he would be the one I trusted. Thirty years later, after also working alongside his mentor, Dr. Fagien remained the only surgeon I felt completely comfortable choosing for my upper and lower blepharoplasty. His team is exemplary—professional, kind, and attentive—and their bedside manner put me at ease throughout the process. I am absolutely ecstatic with my results, though I never doubted that would be the case with Dr. Fagien.

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien eight weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I had no bruising at all, and my eyes look refreshed and completely natural. Dr. Fagien was thorough, honest, and reassuring throughout the entire process, and one thing that truly sets his practice apart is that when you call the office, you actually reach a real person right away..no voicemail runaround or waiting days for a response like most places nowadays. His staff is warm, attentive, and always available, and the team at the ambulatory center was amazing, making the whole experience smooth and stress‑free. I highly recommend Dr. Fagien for anyone considering eyelid surgery.

I choose Dr. Steven Fagien with all the trusty. Recently, my Botox which I had on my forehead turned out very well done. It’s made me so happy overall... And Even that was the first Botox in my entire 35 years. It was full of concern. But now , I’m considered to get more in another area , of course! I will pick Dr. Steven Fagien !!

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”.

Dr Fagien is excellent at the art of enhancement with fillers and Botox. I feel confident that he will not overdo or make me look “done”. He’s also extremely careful about disinfecting the areas before he starts. He’s doesn’t rush.
