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.

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”.

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!

A True Professional and Wonderful Office staff I underwent a tummy tuck and liposuction one year ago with Dr. Vaca. To say I was nervous is an understatement. I was a bit of a challenging case as I’d had a tumor removed 25 years ago which left me with a vertical and horizontal scar on my abdomen and upper stomach. I knew that anyone Dr Fagien would partner with would be amazing and after meeting Dr Vaca I never felt the need for a 2nd opinion. I especially appreciated how he took the time to think through my procedure considering the challenging scar he had to deal with. His bedside manner is so calming and I truly felt at ease and confident with him. A couple of weeks before the surgery I was so nervous I asked for another meeting just to go over everything with him and his office didn’t hesitate to accommodate me. My results have been absolutely outstanding. I truly have a new lease on life and absolutely love getting dressed every morning! I would not hesitate to recommend any of my family or friends to him!!! Thank you Dr Vaca!

Dr. Fagien did a medically necessary procedure on my eyes. He did an excellent job and was honest about what to expect each step of the way, including the post year and a half of monitoring. He is deeply knowledgeable and has a winning personality. I am pleased that a doctor of his caliber was available for my needs.

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.

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 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.

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.

Nine years ago, I had a consultation with Dr. Fagien . Over the years, I’ve seen him for fillers and Botox with great results. No one ever knows that I’ve had anything done. He believes you should just look as if you’ve been on vacation and you do. In July, I finally had the time for the surgery. The results are outstanding. Dr. Fagien is not only an extraordinary surgeon, he is meticulous and precise in everything that he does and that is clearly reflected in the results he obtains. He has such a wonderful bedside manner and the temperature in the room goes down a notch just when he enters. He is kind and generous with his time and will explain anything you ask about what he is doing and why. He has a very detailed protocol pre-and post surgery that produces the very best of results if you follow it. His staff is outstanding as well, welcoming and kind, very knowledgeable about what they are doing, which obviously comes from him and from being around him. There are really no adequate words to describe how fabulous I feel and how great I look, thanks to Dr. Fagien, and there is no one else I would trust but him.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Steven is an excellent surgeon, I had my eyes done in May and the outcome was perfect. There was absolutely no pain, the customer service from his staff and from the hospital he uses are extraordinary. If you are thinking about having your eyes done, Dr. Steven is on excellent choice. Also I have to mention that results are very natural.

Excellent doctor, office and results. I am beyond pleased with my eye bag surgery. As a retired medical professional I am a very observant patient and they deserve the highest recommendation possible.

I've been seeing Dr. Vaca for years now and he is a dream to work with! His attention to detail, bedside manner, ability to translate the information in an understandable way, and his follow-up are all outstanding. His background, experience, education and training are also incredibly impressive. I highly recommend Dr. Vaca to anyone for any service, no matter how simple or complex! Thank you Dr. Vaca for the great service over the years!

I was a patient of Dr. Fagien several years ago and was extremely pleased with the results of my surgery. Recently I had filler under my eyes from a different physician to help conceal my under eye circles. I was not happy with the result. The filler made my eyes look puffy underneath and more black under my eyes. I waited 7 months for the filler to dissolve but it didn’t. I decided to see Dr. Fagien because I know this is his area of expertise. He advised me to go back to the original Dr. which I did but with no resolution. I explained I was concerned it may get worse. He told me he would take care of it but I shouldn’t waste my money over a mistake. I went to the original Dr. and it has been progressively getting better. I really appreciate Dr. Fagien being so ethical. I was ready to pay him and he said I should go back. Not many Drs. would do that! Also, I am not upset with the Dr. who made the mistake. Any surgery or fillers have room for error.

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!

I 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. Better schedule your consult ASAP. I promise you will not need sorry

I'm having my surgery done in a week and a half. Dr. Fagien explained everything in detail and took lots of pictures. He was refereed to me by another surgeon in Philadelphia. I feel very comfortable with the fact that Dr. Fagien will be performing my surgery. He has a great reputation.

I love Dr Fagien. He did my eyes ten years ago. They still look awesome. I have spoken to many professionals and his peers and they give him stellar reviews. He is very passionate and meticulous about his patients and work. I highy recommend this handsome and charming doctor. I recently visited with him and will be returning for treatment soon! He is very kind and thorough!

Dr. 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.

My experience with dr Vaca was fantastic! He’s extremely detailed, calm, self assured in the best way and realistic with what the outcome will look like. Dr Vaca far surpassed my very high expectations and I couldn’t be happier. His support staff are very kind and professional as well, so the overall experience is great. Anyone choosing this practice will truly be pleased.

Dr. Fagien performed upper and lower eye lid surgery on me and I am very pleased with the results. I look 10 years younger. It has definitely boosted my confidence. Dr. Fagien is very detail oriented and precise in his approach. You can’t even tell that I had surgery. You can tell that Dr. Fagien loves what he does because it shows in his workmanship. His team is just as dedicated as he his. They were all so kind and very helpful. I would without hesitation do this all over again with Dr. Fagien and his team. Hats off to you all! 👏🏽👏🏽

I have been a patient for many years and continue to return because Dr. Fagien is a wonderful doctor. He performed my cosmetic eye surgery and because of the results I have sent many people to him. He is an artist with fillers and other injectables and the outcome is natural and beautiful. I highly recommend him and his excellent staff.

Dr. Vaca not only is a very skilled surgeon but also considerate and kind. He explained in detail his recommendations for my eyebrow lift and provided multiple opportunities for questions, even on the day of the procedure. I felt very comfortable with him, his surgical team and office staff and am extremely pleased my outcome! He and Dr. Fagien are my dream team!

Exceptional Results I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Elbert Vaca. 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.

From the first call, his office staff has been friendly and organized. They have a few main people who are always available and on top of your progress. You can get ahold of them at any time if you have a question. Appointments were always right on time with no wait. I always look forward to my office visits, too bad I'm healing so fast. As far as Dr. Vaga and Dr. Faigen, all I can say is that there is a reason that they are the top people to see in the US. They are friendly, kind, involved and incredibly skilled. I cannot recommend his office enough for quality care. I also wanted to say that the surgery center was top notch. I was comfortable and the medical team were incredible. I would give more stars if I had the option.

I am a plastic surgeon and just went to Dr. Fagien for upper and lower eyelid surgery. The procedure was easy, painless, and looks great already, only two weeks later. Knowing everyone in the business means I could have gone anywhere. Dr. Fagien is the very best and is also one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals I know. If you found him, look no further.
