Exceptional Eyelid Surgery-life changing results! I cannot recommend Dr.Fagien enough for my upper and lower eyelid surgery. From the initial consultation to post op care, Dr Fagien and their team were professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. Their expertise and attention to detail put me at ease, and the results have exceeded my expectations my eyes look natural refreshed youthful, with minimal scarring and a smooth recovery. What sets Dr. Fagien apart is his unique and personalized technique to detail in my procedure . The entire staff was also welcoming and supportive throughout the process. If you’re considering eyelid surgery, trust Dr. Fagien you’re in the best hands! Thank you for giving me renewed confidence and 30 years of my youth back .

I was extremely impressed with Dr Fagien and his office staff. I went in for a consultation with Dr Fagien to have my tear troughs injected. He told me I was not a good candidate and I would not achieve the look I desired. I asked him about other options and he said in the future to come and see him but that I wasn’t ready for anything yet. His honesty and professionalism is amazing! When it is time I will definitely return to see Dr Fagien.

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.

Dr. 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.

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.

So far, for my first time visit to Dr Faigien office it was amazing!! Starting with his staff, very friendly and understanding. This is my first time doing this type of procedure and i felt very comfortable and we'll informed. Doctor Faigien , an amazing guy, straight to the point and know what you are looking for. I already booked my surgery with them . Can't wait to do a part 2 of this review 😁 UPDATE I stand strong backing up what I said, Dr Faigen and his amazing staff Rock!!! I been around for a while and let me tell you that the level of professionalism and care are beyond expectations. This team has something rare and unique and is called principles..They know their work and they do care about the patient and results. This guy's are not here to take your money and just doodle or overdo things in your face. They work with balance and proper symmetry , now I know why Dr Faigen has such excellent reputation, because is not about the money it's about the results and confidence.Anybody can be a butcher but very few can be a master at what they do and be humble and caring like Dr Faigen. Much integrity and honesty in the world of Dr. Faigen. I feel very lucky to be his patient . Thank you again Doc!!!

I am a repeat customer. I am a Commercial Airline Pilot and I only wanted the best doctor to work on my eyes. I wanted a plastic surgeon who specialized in eyes. I heard great things about Dr. Fagien’s work. Ten years ago Dr. Fagien did my upper eyelids. They looked amazing. They looked very natural and I was very happy with the outcome. Ten years later I had my lower lids done. Even though it’s a bit of a drive for me I never even considered another doctor. He gives me the natural, refreshed look that I want. His staff at both his office and the surgical center are very helpful and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Vaca is very patient and caring. There are other doctors who will rush the process and all they see is a dollar sign over your head. If you are looking for someone to take their time and truly value you as a patient of their practice, this is the doctor you need to see!! He has a sharp eye for perfection and is very honest and thorough with his work. 15/10 recommend!

I 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.

Great staff, great results I cannot recommend Dr Fagien highly enough. He explained the procedure and it went exactly as planned. Pain was minimal, a bit of itching from the stitches. I had my upper eyelids done Monday and look quite presentable Friday- the stitches are the only giveaway. Best of all, I look rested, not over-pulled.

Dr. Steven Faigen and Dr. Vaca are at the top of their game on Every level . Not only is Dr. Faigen a consummate professional and an artist at his craft, he is humble, funny and gracious. It is very rare to have a doctor undersell, while having impeccable bedside manners and also be the absolute best at what they do. Love him and his whole team. I felt safe and cared for. He is a brilliant, gifted surgeon and has been my doctor for Over 10 years. He has a keen eye for detail and is a perfectionistic. I would not have any other doctor touch my face period.

Traveled from Nashville for blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien, and my experience has been outstanding. Dr. Fagien is one of, if not the best, oculoplastic surgeons in the U.S., his staff is top notch, and my outcome has exceeded my expectations! Absolutely would do it again.

Blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien: A Review I recently had a blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Fagien, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Before the procedure, I had very hooded eyelids, but now I have a visible eyelid—a change so subtle and natural that I don't even feel the need to wear makeup anymore. The results are incredibly refreshing, making me look more awake and like the best version of myself. From the very first consultation to the final follow-ups, Dr. Fagien's kindness and care were exceptional. He is a true perfectionist with an incredible eye for even the smallest detail, which put me completely at ease. He genuinely cares about his patients' comfort and outcomes, and his surgical skill is second to none. I was also impressed by his specific post-operative care protocol, which I followed precisely. My recovery was surprisingly easy, with no pain, no bruising, and only mild swelling for about a week. Within a few days, most people had no idea I had even had surgery! The entire experience far exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to Dr. Fagien for his precision, surgical skill, and genuine kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone considering eyelid surgery.

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.

My whole experience was wonderful! My dermatologist had recommended Dr Fagien for my eyes surgery, but I was a little hesitant after hearing so bad stories about other doctors. One year ago I finally decided to take the chance and today I thank myself for doing it! My eyes look so good yet so natural that most of my friends didn't notice about a surgery! They just say I look so young and pretty! Dr Fagien is very kind and extremely good professional! He took care of me all the way, he kindly answered all my doubts and concerns and helped me out through the whole process. Also his team, all the staff at his offices are really nice and knowledgeable. I recommend this doctor to anyone who wants their eyes to look amazing!

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.

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 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!

His work, and referral from patients and colleagues, speaks for itself. I had absolutely no reservations that I would have my eyes back the way they were, and not have them look fixed. He is caring, spends time explaining things to you, and goes beyond in every way. I can’t tell you how pleased I am!!!! Have no reservations about Dr. Fagien, he is truly and eye artist!!!

Dr Fagien is a world renowned highly skilled ocular plastic surgeon, author and educator. I had a cutting-edge procedure performed by him 24 years ago that most, more experienced, ocular plastic surgeons could not perform at that time. I continue to see Dr. Fagien on a regular basis for Botox and fillers and would not trust anyone else. His office is impeccable and his staff is extremely professional and friendly. Consumers beware… You get what you pay for and Dr. Fagien is “The Man”!

I am OBSESSED with my results and I cannot stop looking in the mirror! Dr. Fagien is the best in the entire facial aesthetics industry, hands down. I am SO HAPPY with the absolute transformation of my face that he was able to accomplish using just botox and filler. He has made my face completely symmetrical and balanced. I now have a refreshed, youthful, and very NATURAL look. I have always been very picky about only going to excellent doctors. But Dr. Fagien just blows everyone else out of the water. His expertise and techniques are unparalleled. I have never before had a doctor spend so much time and pay such attention to detail during my appointment. He very thoroughly studied the individual intricacies of my face and my unique musculature shapes. He then applies the most unbelievably precise technique in performing his injections… I have just never before seen any doctor be so meticulously precise. The results are OUTSTANDING. I had always heard all the buzz about Doctor Fagien and how people travel from all over the country to see him. But what finally had me picking up the phone was when I saw first-hand the miraculous transformation that he performed on a friend of mine earlier this year when he did her upper/ lower eyelid surgery. I was completely blown away....Dr. Fagien is truly the king of facial aesthetics. Oh and not to mention….His staff is also wonderful. They are friendly, attentive and always right “on the ball”.

I had upper eyelid blepharoplasty done less than two weeks ago. The whole experience has been wonderful. Dr. Fagien has a comforting bedside manner but more importantly he is an excellent surgeon, a perfectionist. The office staff is top notch and has been in touch with me every step of the way. My results are amazing but I had no doubt they would be due to Dr. Fagiens exceptional skills in his field. I am so thankful for all he has done for me and I recommend him to anyone considering having this procedure. The only regret I have is not doing this sooner! Thank you Dr. Fagien!

I consulted several top oculoplastic surgeons before choosing Dr. Fagien to perform my bletharoplasty.Dr. Fagien's consultation was informative and very reassuring. The result was perfect. No scar, no mistakes, no sign of any work done. THIS DOCTOR IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED. If you live in Florida go see him, if you live anywhere else, get on a plane and go see him it's worth it.

Dr Fagien is a miracle plastic surgeon. He gave me my eyes back. He gave me my life back. I am forever grateful. I couldn't even go out without sunglasses to cover my how my eyes looked. He takes his time, is extremely knowledgeable and professional and creates miracles when others couldn't. His staff is very knowledgeable and caring. His appointments are always on time. Amber was super sweet and even calmed me down on day of procedure. Dr Fagien cares about his patients and I owe him so much. I am more than happy with my results. Better than I expected.

Dr. Fagien is an amazing plastic surgeon. He is so skilled and meticulous and I am so pleased with the results of my upper and lower eyelid surgery. He is thorough and personable and that was very comforting. The staff is also so kind, helpful and available whenever I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Fagien.

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. Fagien 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're already so happy with the results!

“Simply the Best!” I’m pleased to have an opportunity to share my experience with Dr. Steven Faigien. I’m an 81 year old woman who’s had 3 eyelid surgeries in the past. Because of this I was anxious about how I would heal. Dr. Fagien assured me that since I am in good health , there should be no problems. He proceeded to tell me what would be the best result for me. He was absolutely right! I had my surgery a few days ago and am healing quickly and I love the way my eyes look. I would be remiss in sharing my experience with Dr. Fagien if I didn’t mention his wonderful and caring staff. They are always kind and very helpful. Last, but definitely not least, is Dr. Fagien himself. He is very personable and quickly put me at ease. He is easy to talk to and has a great smile and sense of humor. I am truly humbled by his expertise and his caring for his patients. He is “Simply the Best!”

I am extremely happy with the care and treatment I received from Dr. Elbert Vaca. He is not only a highly talented doctor but also genuinely cares about his patients. From the moment I walked into his office I felt confident that I was in the best hands. His expertise and attention to detail are remarkable, and he took the time to explain every step of my treatment, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Vaca to anyone seeking top-notch medical care.

Excellence Having done some research and a few consultations, I chose Dr Vaca for my upper blepharoplasty. He is incredibly thorough, thoughtful and kind, exceptional in all aspects from the first consultation all the way through recovery. I am so happy with the results and very grateful for his brilliance, talent and expertise. If you are looking for excellence he is, hands down, the one.

Dr. Fagien is one of the most ethical plastic surgeons I have ever met. I would highly recommend him. After leaving his office he advised me that I really didn’t need the work I was asking for and advised me to see my health care provider. I don’t know many if any plastic surgeons that would do that.

Let's just say..I got extremely lucky when another Dr told me about Dr Fagien They not only look better from the bad Surgery but they look better than Ever! Another plus...I would never go to another Dr for my injections...only him:))) He also has a wonderful staff ..Warm & compassionate

Another plastic surgeon told me he would not do my eye lids because the results would not be good. Dr Fagien said he could do them and did the surgery with amazing result. He is also the kindest doctor I’ve ever met. I can’t say enough good things about him and his entire staff.

My 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.

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery with Dr. Fagien in March. This was the first cosmetic surgery I have ever had. It took me about 5 years to make the decision to do it and then another year to find the right surgeon for me. Someone told me that when you meet the right doctor for you it’s like an “aha” moment and that’s how I felt when I had my first consultation. He was very pleasant and patient and addressed all my concerns without being dismissive. To be honest, I was extremely nervous the day of surgery but it helped that everyone at the surgery facility was attentive and very caring. I am extremely thankful and fortunate that Dr. Fagien did my surgery. He and his amazing staff, Victoria, Dani and Devina, made themselves accessible by phone/email, did follow-ups on any issues that I had post surgery. I never felt worried about the care I received and if I had any concern, no matter how trivial or serious, it was addressed. My appointments never felt rushed. Due to Dr. Fagien’s expertise and skillful hands, my expectations were met - my eyes feel and look great and natural. I can’t express enough thanks to Dr. Fagien and his staff for giving me the care I needed. They are indeed the best!

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.
