Dr Fagien is a fabulous doctor. I can"t say enough about his talents, his kindness and his humor, He took droopy eyes and made them look beautiful again. No more droop. No pain! He worked with Dr Vaca, and he did a temporal brow lift. He was wonderful as well. The office staff is kind and welcoming and addresses all by their name. I can't say enough about these doctors' skills and I will return for touch ups over the years!

very knowledgeable Dr. Vaca was very informative and patient during a recent consult that I had with him. He explained everything very well and heard my questions and concerns. He even offered steroid shots for some scarring from a previous surgery/surgeon, without a charge. He is very compassionate and educated. I will definitely choose to work with him in the future!

Exceptional Experience with My Upper Blepharoplasty! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Fagien! From my very first consultation, I felt completely confident that I was in the best hands with the best doctor. The entire process—from pre-op to recovery—was seamless. The staff was professional, kind, and attentive, and I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. The recovery process was a breeze, and my results are beyond what I imagined: natural, refreshed, and beautifully balanced. Friends keep telling me I look “rested,” and that i look younger, which is exactly what I wanted—subtle, yet transformative. If you’re considering an upper blepharoplasty, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Fagien more highly. His artistry and skill truly set him apart, and I’m so grateful for the confidence this experience has given me.

It takes forever to get an appointment but it is well worth the wait. I’m very very pleased with the results of the surgery (5 1/2 weeks out) and the whole process was really pretty easy. Plus the staff couldn’t be nicer in terms of answering questions and follow up. They even sent someone from the office the day of surgery to see if I had any questions and generally to put me at ease As I wrote it is worth the wait.

A year and a half later—and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Dr. Fagien! … After having to look at myself in Zoom reflections for more than a year, I knew it was time to do something. I was told by a Miami physician whose professional opinion I value more than I can say, that Dr. Fagien is the ONLY doctor to see. Dr. Fagien and his staff are incomparable. He is kind, warm, and patient. The results of my surgery are beautiful and natural. He took at least ten years of sagging stress from my eyes with an upper/lower transconj blepharoplasty. I'm grateful and so happy that I don't look sad anymore. Truly, he is the best!

Dr. Vaca and his team are so amazing!! I received a rhinoplasty and chin implant and couldn’t be happier! I healed so well and was checked up on multiple times during recovery. Dr. Vaca understood my wants and concerns with the surgery and was with me every step of the way. My results have truly changed my life and I’m so happy with my decision choosing Dr. Vaca. I felt very secure because he is confident in himself, which was a very important aspect when ultimately deciding which doctor I wanted to move forward with. I am 2 months post op and could not have asked for better results. I received exactly what I asked for and am over the moon! A big thank you to Dr. Vaca and his team!!

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.

From 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. 🤍

Highly 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. The office itself is beautiful. Drs. Fagien and Vaca were highly recommended to me by several of my colleagues who work in healthcare, and I certainly agree with those recommendations. I highly recommend.

I also did a lot of research on my own before making my decision to have cosmetic surgery. I could not be happier. I found they listened to me, offered excellent advise and did exactly as I asked.

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.

Dr. Fagien came very highly recommended by three different friends. I had gone for two prior consultations with other docs in FL and NY for my eyelids which were droopy with excess skin and dark circles below. Once I met with Dr. Fagien, I knew that he was the right choice immediately. He is a highly respected oculoplastic surgeon whose work is the gold standard in this field. He performed upper and lower blepharoplasty on me, and I couldn't be happier with the natural results! I 100% recommend him. I have had so many complements on my 'refreshed' look and am SO happy I chose him to perform the surgery. Your eyes will thank you.

Fantastic 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.

Hello, I had my surgery back in May and everything went beautifully! I am very happy with the results! However, I was very shocked to learn that Dr. Faigen has a non-medical non licensed person treating patients and removing stitches!? Granted, she did a beautiful job but, she’s not a nurse and she’s not licensed and that really shocked me. Just food for thought.

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.

To all the brave women who choose to grow old gracefully, I salute you, but I prefer to stay young gratefully. When I started looking for a doctor for blepharoplasty surgery, I heard the words “Dr. Fagien is the guy!” And they weren’t wrong. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly and superbly professional. Devina kept tabs on me every step of the way; she is a real gem. Now three months have passed and I couldn’t be happier. My family and friends are all remarking about how young I look. My only complaint is that Dr. Fagien won’t let you smile when he takes your “after” pictures. Seriously, I am smiling with joy from ear to ear and I have to sit there stone-faced. Thank you Dr. Fagien!

Dr. Fagien is a world class gifted surgeon. He is conservative, meticulous, and has an artistic eye. He approaches each patient individually resulting in procedures that enhance your natural features. I would not let any other doctor touch my face as I couldn’t be happier with my results. My friends that have gone to him feel the same. I trust and highly recommend him.

5 stars is not enough for Dr. Vaca. I found him by way of Dr. Fagien but needed more than an upper bleph (brow lift also) so went with Dr. Vaca. From the moment I met him in my consult I just thought he was so kind and knowledgeable. I felt safe with him and his work on Instagram was just beautiful. He kept nailing the brow lift and upper blephs and most importantly each woman just looked so natural like they didn’t have anything done. I had my surgery last week and have felt so well cared for. My results are so beautiful! I still feel like me! My dermatologist here in Miami asked for all of his info bc she couldn’t believe how beautiful it looks. Who knows what plastic surgery I will consider in the future as but if I do I know that I will trust Dr. Vaca. He’s a star!!!

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.

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!

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 !!

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.

Dr. Vaca is an exceptional Surgeon who has truly changed my life. he restored my self-esteem when he performed surgery on my ear to remove a very large tumor that I had for many years. The tumor haunted me for years and I could not find anyone willing to remove it. I was truly blessed when I was introduced to Dr. Vaca by my aunt who believed that Dr. Vaca was the best person to remove this tumor. Without hesitation, Dr. Vaca agreed. From the moment I met Dr. Vaca, I was impressed by his professionalism, empathy, and dedication to patient care. He made me feel calm, safe, secure, and completely at ease throughout the procedure. Dr. Vaca took the time to thoroughly explain my procedure, ensuring that I understood every step. The surgery itself was a success beyond my expectations. Dr. Vaca's expertise was evident throughout my recovery. I was free from scarring to my surgical site, and looking on my ears, you cannot tell which ear had the surgery. Post-surgery instructions and care were exemplary. I would highly recommend Dr. Vaca to anyone seeking top-notch surgery. Thank you Dr. Vaca and your exceptional team for your exceptional work and for making a significant difference in my life. I am blessed to have you as my doctor. Jahlecia Newland.

Aside from his professionalism, Dr. Fagien is personable and friendly! Hannah, the patient coordinator, also did a great job of answering questions and was very friendly.

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 .

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.

Above And Beyond! 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. If I wasn’t totally knocked out with anesthesia I would have given him a standing ovation in the operating room! I read the other reviews left by previous patients. I agree with all the wonderful attributes they listed about Dr. Vaca.

Amazing!!! I have had several cosmetic procedures done over my 50 years of aging. I am very conservative and well researched. 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. Steven Fagien is a genius Dr. Steven Fagien is a genius and a super talented surgeon. He is in a league of his own. He dedicate the time to perfect every surgery. He listens, cares, and has an innate ability to understand understand every patient’s wish, and turns those wishes into a reality. I recently underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty. I am a perfectionist, and even I am amazed at how this master surgeon opened up my eyes to look 10 to 15 years younger in a most natural way. Dr. Fagien, is very kind and compassionate. Is it any wonder that his office staff are caring unprofessional? They handled all my needs, including following through all medication refills. My eyes were blessed with Dr. Steven Fagan‘s hands.

Dr. Fagien is one of the best doctors in south florida for eyelid surgery and botox and filler. He has a great personality and makes you feel confident and comfortable. The eye lid surgery took at least 5 years off and the botox and filler is the best I have had and I have been to several others. The staff is also amazing, efficient and helpful. I am not the only one that feels this way about him. Many people I know also agree Dr Fagien and his staff are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

What a positive experience! My whole experience with Dr. Vaca and his staff has been exceptional. Dr Vaca spent as much time as I needed during my consult to make sure I had answers to all of my questions. I felt so content that I cancelled my other consults - I knew Dr Vaca was the one. I am so very happy with the results of my mommy makeover procedure. My self esteem has enhanced ten fold! Not only does Dr Vaca have great bedside manners, but he also possesses extremely impeccable talented, artistically gifted and he is also a perfectionist, he was able to keep my tattoos aligned from my tummy tuck to my breast augmentation /lift with no pain afterwards & No scars. Dr Vaca left me absolutely speechless I feel so honored that he worked on me with his artistry .I will truly be a loyal life time patient to him.He is truly a prodigy, Dr.Vaca was born to do this!!

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.

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.
