Linda Wolf12 December 2021I'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.

A R10 January 2022I recently had two facial surgeries done with Dr. Vaca. I am blown away by the beautiful and elegant results. From the initial consultation to the surgery I felt truly cared for as Dr. Vaca was so kind and also so mathematically precise with his considerations and measurements of my eyes and of the harmony of my face. Even the staff at the surgery center commented on how they try to get into the OR to watch his innovative techniques. I would trust him with my face again. He is a truly gifted surgeon and a very kind, compassionate person.Posted on Google

Tatyana Nudel12 January 2024I did my due diligence picking Dr Fagien and did he delver! Hands down THE best surgeon, very meticulous and detail oriented. Very particular and deliberate with his approach, pre-op instructions, surgical facility and anesthesiologists, his surgical technique is superb ( I am a doctor I know). My eyes look amazing! Today is less than 24 hours. No pain, virtually no swelling, no blood at all, no crusting. Have not taken single pain killer. I waited for this procedure with Dr Fagian for 2 years and it was totally worth it! I wish more surgeons would be like him. Totally a class act and bed side manner is so warm and professional.

Jeevanpre Jowhal18 March 2026EXCEPTIONAL! 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.Posted on Google

Mary Daniels17 December 2021I have been seeing Dr. Fagien for approximately 12 years for fillers. He has helped me avoid the deep Marionette lines around my mouth area. Dr. Fagien graciously listens to my woes about NOT wanting to go through surgery and, in my opinion, helps me maintain a natural appearance.Posted on HealthgradesA.N.17 August 2022Dr. 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User15 October 2021I wanted to have my upper and lower eyelids done and there was no one other than Dr Fagien I would have even considered using. His reputation precedes him. He is not only an excellent surgeon but an extremely kind and caring person. He runs his practice better than any office I've ever encountered. Devina is beyond incredible throughout the surgery and postop too. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Fagien, his office and my final results. I am incredibly happy with the way my upper and lower lids turned out. He is a true gem.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 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 HealthgradesLana in Baltimore , MD1 July 2019He is the best in the field.Posted on Healthgrades

Spring Wieder5 April 2018Incredibly 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!!!!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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User19 October 2020Beautiful, clean office with an excellent doctor and staff!Posted on Google
Diana Murdock1 June 2018It's a beautiful office with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Fagien has an excellent manner, is very experienced, and gave me his honest opinion of my situation. He actually discouraged me from having upper eyelid surgery, saying that the result would not be what I said I hoped for, but would provide only minimal improvement.Posted on HealthgradesHappy woman!15 April 2022Excellent experienced!!!

Denise Cody9 September 2025I 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.Posted on Google

Boca has lots of good plastic surgeons. My experience with Dr. Vaca is that he is a Great plastic surgeon! During my recent surgery, he encountered some undiagnosed problems. He worked about two extra hours in surgery to fix all of that, plus finish the job we originally planned.

Beatriz Cuervo1 September 2025I was referred to Dr. Fagien by my dermatologist, Dr. Martha Viera, and I have had the best experience with him and his entire team. He is not only an outstanding professional but also an incredible human being. I have lived with a vascular condition in my eyes for more than 20 years. From the very first appointment, Dr. Fagien made it clear that he would only perform my surgery if my retina specialist, Dr. Janet Davis,, approved it. That level of professionalism and care gave me complete confidence in him. The surgery itself was complex due to my condition, but he performed it with excellence. What was already a very special procedure became even more meaningful under those circumstances. The results have been very positive. It has now been two months, and I am still in recovery, noticing improvements every week, with final results expected at six months. Throughout this journey, I have received invaluable support from his team, who have always ensured smooth communication between the doctor and me. I want to highlight the professionalism and kindness of Owni, Devina, Henry. Thanks to them And the other ones in his office, I have always felt cared for and received prompt answers from the doctor whenever I needed guidance. If you are considering eyelid or under-eye bag surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fagien. He is, without a doubt, the best choice!Posted on HealthgradesBeth Johnston in Lantana, FL24 August 2019Dr. Fagien did an excellent job on my eyelid lift.

They just say I look so young and pretty! Dr Fagien is very kind and extremely good professional!

From the moment I walked into his office, I felt completely at ease. He takes the time to truly listen, answer every question with patience, and explain all options in a way that is clear and comforting. His caring nature is evident not only in how he treats his patients, but also in the beautiful and natural results he delivers.The quality of his work speaks for itself — precise, thoughtful, and done with such an artistic eye that enhances rather than changes who you are. What I appreciate most is how much he genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being, both physically and emotionally. You never feel rushed or like 'just another appointment'; he treats you as if you’re the most important person in the room.If you are looking for a cosmetic surgeon who combines exceptional skill with true compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vaca. He is a rare find, and I feel so grateful to be in his care.Posted on Google

Madelyn Strauss6 June 2022I found Dr. Vaca to be absolutely terrific. Not only did a fantastic job sewing up my forehead where I had fallen but such an understanding and terrific human being. I’m a slow healer but his tiny immaculate stitching was hardly noticeable after a much quieter time than I expected going by past wounds I’ve ever received and with a drop of makeup within just a couple of weeks is hardly noticeable. I expect that even that will practically disappear in a short time. I can’t recommend him any higher and I expect that anyone else will feel the exact same way.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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User13 May 2019Dr. Fagien is extremely professional and has a very gentle touch and an artistic eye. He maintains a soft spoken and kind bedside manner. He treats his patients with respect and is an expert within his field. I highly recommend him.Posted on Google

Rick Tobin8 July 2026Top notch!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User17 August 2019Dr. Steve Fagien is an exceptional surgeon. He performed under eye surgery on my daughter in June 2018. She had developed dark circles under eyes at a young age and was very sad about her looks. She wouldn't go without makeup on. I was concerned and afraid of the surgery because of her young age. The results from the surgery were simply amazing. She is so happy and looks so beautiful. As a mother, I can't tell you how delighted I am to see her smile and love her looks again. He and his staff are personable and very accessible. They were there for us before, during and after the surgery. I give the whole experience a 10. He is the best!Posted on HealthgradesConnie Ortiz20 August 2021Excellent and caring doctor, I had Bell Palsy, and he was able to help me and gave me options. Dr. Fagien is the best eye doctor I have ever visited. I wish more doctors and staff members would care about their patients like Dr. Fagien and his staff.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
Nancy Jetta16 August 2022In 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.
