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.Posted on Google

Carol Calling3 September 2025“An absolutely flawless, natural transformation — and some honest tips for your journey!” I had a face and neck lift 12 weeks ago with Dr. Vaca, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was calm, professional, and a true perfectionist — but in the best way possible. His approach is meticulous yet subtle, delivering a natural, balanced outcome that miraculously looks completely real. Everyone tells me I look fresh and younger because the past few years approaching 50 I began quickly developing pre-mature "creppy" sagging skin on my cheeks, jawline, and neck) that needed to be revised, but without looking pulled or "fixed". What I received from Dr Vaca is like a natural (major) glow-up that no one can put their finger on! My sons, who are in their twenties, saw me four weeks post-op and had zero clue (what do boys notice anyway?!). My husband, being equally picky, said there are no negative signs of the surgery (unless you raise my hair up in the back and see the fresh pink scars). So no suspicious onlookers other than the fact that my face looks fresh and beautiful and I often catch my husband looking at my face deeply and following up with a heart-melting compliment about how amazing I look and what a great decision it was (he was initially against the idea of me doing surgery). I was blessed with the result I wanted: to look naturally much fresher, but not “done.” Dr. Vaca also did very tiny fat transfers (1.5 volume or less) in a few areas of my face, and his precision is unreal. I still have a few natural surface lines on my lower cheeks, just as he said I would, but I’m 50 years old and 90% of the crepe and wrinkles I had there are gone! The skin isn’t tight or stretched, nor does it sag — it’s just right. If I were to count, there were at least 50 lines on my cheeks and now there are pretty much zero. But no pulling or plumping whatsoever! Now, a few honest tips: my husband stayed with me every minute the first three days after surgery, which I highly recommend. Everyone warns you about feeling doubts or regrets in those first 48 hours, and they’re not joking! Especially if you have a paranoid reaction to whatever trippy opioid they put in the IV drip post surgery. LOL ... Don’t be alone—you need a loving “slave” to take care of you. Then, like magic, by day four, the emotional shock fades and you start feeling wonderful about the ordeal. Also, I noticed something funny: in those first few days (day 1 to 4), all face-lift patients look eerily similar and unrecognizable from the side-view — kind of like how all people with Down syndrome have specific shared facial features with each other. I think that was comforting for me, seeing all previous ladies with the same face. But by day 7, you’re unmistakably yourself again, just with a little bruising. In summary, I look soooo much better!!! And there’s a million-to-one chance anyone would guess I had surgery on my face or neck because all is so perfectly balanced and healed so quickly (just strategically styling my ponytails). 😜 I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a talented surgeon. Even great doctors can have an off day, but Dr. Vaca delivered an incredible, natural result that I’m so proud of. If you want a refresh that truly respects your natural beauty, he’s your guy.Posted on Google
Ashley Calandra12 March 2025Dr. 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 :) :) 10/10Posted on Google
susan strasser31 July 2021Fantastic office experience! After my first visit everyone in the office new my name and made me feel welcome. Dr. Vaca spent time explaining his recommendations and procedures thoroughly and answered the many questions that I had. One week out, without ever having any pain or discomfort, albeit swelling and some bruising I can already see my amazing results.Posted on Google
Lana23 June 2019I 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.Posted on Google
Bonnie Osher20 July 2021Dr. Fagien is a master and he is a doctor’s doctor. Doctors go to Dr. Fagien because they know he is the the best in his field. He is honest and conservative and no one will look strange if Dr. Fagien does your treatment. He is very successful and he enjoys making everyone happy. You will get an honest opinion and he won’t do anything that will make you look freaky. I do my homework and check out doctors by getting opinions from other doctors in Florida and also other areas of the country. Steve Fagien is the only doctor to use. He takes his time and makes sure his procedures do not hurt. He and his staff are kind, caring and very professional. I am not related to the doctor and this is my first endorsement I have ever written but Dr. Fagien is truly special. The only difficulty is in spelling his name.Posted on HealthgradesJanet5 June 2021Very professional. Took their time explaining everything, friendly, didn't have to wait.

J19 January 2022Dr. Fagien and his staff are absolutely amazing. I had Rt. lower blepharoplasty done for sagging skin and the results speak for themselves. Not only am I happy with the results, but the process in general was so easy. The day of the procedure Dr. Fagien and nurses gave me much peace and expectations. Surely weeks later I can testify of a wonderful experience. I thank God for allowing me to meet such wonderful Doctor. I would highly recommend his services. So if your looking for a truly professional and excellent facial plastic surgeon Dr Fagien is your answer. Worth every penny. JenPosted on HealthgradesLauren22 December 20231000/10 My sister and I both had a lower blepharoplasty done and everything about our experience, from the appointments to the surgical procedure, was amazing. Dr. Faigen and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best care and results. You can tell everyone there truly cares about their patients. Highly recommended! We're still recovering from the procedure, but we are already so happy with the results!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User11 September 2025Dr. Vaca If you are reading this review, chances are you are searching for a qualified cosmetic surgeon. My search began in January of 2025. I live in Coral Gables, FL and had full consultations with three highly recommended surgeons within a few miles of my home. While I was certain that all of these doctors could satisfactorily get the job done, I left each consultation feeling like something was missing. I simply could not make a decision. My continued research led me to Dr. Vaca in Boca Raton and after reading his credentials and reviews, I scheduled a consultation. At the end of this lengthy, informative, enjoyable meeting I knew that my search was finally over. I had found my surgeon and my indecision was replaced with certainty and excitement. I have now experienced two surgeries with Dr. Vaca and I am very happy! Everyone who works with him is professional and supportive. If you are searching for a cosmetic surgeon, schedule a consultation with Dr. Vaca…find what you have been missing.Posted on HealthgradesAmy11 August 2021Had my lower eyes done and am extremely happy. There’s nothing more to say, he’s simply the best! His staff are professional and friendly, making the experience very comfortable.Posted on Google
Azul Iglesias3 March 2026From the very first consultation, I knew I was in the right place. Instead of pointing out flaws like many surgeons do, he asked me one simple and powerful question, “What bothers you when you look in the mirror?” That approach alone speaks volumes about who he is. He promotes beauty in a healthy and balanced way, rooted in confidence and self acceptance, not insecurity. His team is exceptional. Every detail, every visit, and every interaction made me feel cared for and respected. I felt amazing from day one through every follow up appointment. The procedure itself was fast and smooth, something I had wanted to do for a long time, and I truly felt I was in the best hands possible. What impacted me the most happened after surgery. Over the weekend, I noticed a small tear mixed with blood and got really scared. I called the office and within ten minutes he personally called me back. Not an assistant. The doctor himself. On a weekend. That level of humanity is rare. He explained calmly what was happening and what to expect next, and everything unfolded exactly as he said it would. That gave me so much peace. He is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon, he is human, compassionate, and deeply committed to his patients. He makes you feel safe, respected, and truly taken care of. I recommend him one million times over. 🤍Posted on HealthgradesJoyce C.4 June 2023The 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 !!Posted on Google

Jana Hamade30 January 2022Dr. 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.Posted on Google
Kendal & Sasha26 July 2021Dr. Fagien was extremely professional, I met with him regarding under eye fillers that I wanted to do. He was surprisingly honest and did not recommend I do this procedure as he did not think it would give me the results I wanted. He took the time to go through what the likely outcome would look like, showing images etc. I would 100% recommend his services as he clearly will not give advise on the basis of filling his pockets, but rather his client's genuine interests. While I did not leave with fillers, I did leave with a better understanding and knowledge of my structure and options available to me.Posted on Google
emmitt rhodes20 November 2023This 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.Posted on Google
Deborah Parnell6 September 2020My experience with Dr. Vaca was amazing. His presentation is warm , knowledgeable and sincere. I had stomach FAT that wouldn't go away. Dr. Vaca evaluated my abdomen and due to my previous C sections recommended abdominalplasty. I LOOK GREAT now. I asked him about the sagging jawline (jowls) and wanted a quick fix. He assessed the face and recommended a modified face lift procedure. Because of his proven honesty and talent, I agreed and I cannot be HAPPIER. He is a truly talented and humble surgeon. Never thought I would use those two adjectives in one sentence about a surgeon, but that's the magic of Dr. Vaca. As a RN whose specialty s Operating Room nursing, I have worked with many surgeons. Dr. Vaca is an exceptional surgeon. That is my personal AND professional opinion.Posted on Google
Boston Transportation Dispatch Training10 August 2021If 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!Posted on Google

Betty Bassan23 July 2021I've been going to the Dr. Faigen for over 10 years. He first did my upper and lower eyelids and I’ve been going back for Botox on a regular basis. He is the only one I trust for eye cosmetic surgery. On my last visit, I was concerned about having Botox and the Covid vaccine. He sat down, explained everything in detail and I felt very comfortable with going ahead with Botox. His office is immaculate and his staff is professional. Davina is especially kind and friendly!Posted on Google

They are truly wonderful people and exceptional at what they do for their clients . Thank you so much for everything.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User24 February 2025Highly Recommend Last month I had surgery with both Dr. Fagien and Dr. Vaca. My entire experience with Dr. Fagien, Dr. Vaca and their office was fantastic. My initial consultation was informative. Drs. Fagien and Vaca listened to my concerns, did an assessment, and gave me their recommendations. They explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. They took their time. I’ve never felt rushed at any of my appointments. My surgery went wonderfully. I felt safe and well cared for throughout. My recovery went as expected and I am completely thrilled with my results. My follow up care has been great. Appointments are on time. The physicians are attentive and truly take pride in their work. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional.

pamela rosen7 August 2022As 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".
