Ferne Toccin24 August 2023Dr 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!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

Nina26 January 2025Dr. Fagien- the best plastic surgeon I had a lip filler treatment done with Dr. Fagien two months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I used to have downturned corners of my mouth and very thin lips, but now the corners are lifted, and my lips are fuller, beautifully shaped, and incredibly natural-looking. My facial expressions, speaking, and all movements are as normal as ever.I feel like my face looks more youthful and vibrant, and my self-confidence has significantly increased. Even those around me, who usually don’t approve of cosmetic treatments, have complimented my new lips and said they love how natural they look.Thank you so much, Dr. Fagien for giving me such beautifully shaped lips and a smile that I truly love!Posted on Google

Carolynne Bodine8 January 2020After 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.Posted on Google
Jahlecia Newland11 July 2024Dr. 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.Posted on Google

Kelly Ingarra in Palm Beach Gardens , FL9 September 2018Hello, 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.Posted on Google

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.

C V25 August 2025Blepharoplasty 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.Posted on Google
Alexandra Vanella15 April 2021I had the best experience thanks to Dr. Vaca. We did an in-office chin lipo procedure in January 2021. I’m still seeing results everyday. It was extremely quick & easy.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted on Google
Judith Fernandez14 May 2022Still continues to be my favorite physicians office for the overall care and professionalism of all staff I encounter. Office continues to abide by recommendations regarding Covid which protects us both. I met some new staff this visit who are as committed to Dr,. Fagien’s practice as he is. My visit this time was more maintenance and lasted approximately 50 minutes. As usual, every line, and wrinkle was inspected and documented along with conversation regarding my perceived wants vs. what the physician felt I needed which is interestingly less. Actual prep and procedure time 30 mins, minimal discomfort, no down time and I left a happy more rested looking woman. I work hard, I play hard and enjoy taking this time for myself. I appreciate the skill and talent of healthcare professionals and a smooth operating medical office. Thanks Dr Fagien and team!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
Diana Elise4 March 2021I could not be more pleased with my results from Dr. Vaca. From the first moment you step into the beautiful suite you are greeted warmly by the receptionist and wait only mere minutes before being escorted to a consultation room. Dr. Vaca’s gentle and kind demeanor make the consultation effortless. After assessing your concerns Dr. Vaca will show you his previous work so that you may see beautiful results from other patients. His aesthetic compliments and enhances your natural beauty without overdoing it. He is careful in his assessments and is very honest with how he would proceed in correcting your concerns. Not only is his demeanor gentle, but his hands are as well, causing no pain throughout the entire process. I am so happy and lucky to have found such a wonderful surgeon!Posted on Google
Joanne Barone11 March 2026Dr Fagien is clearly the expert in his field. I had under eye bags which can be challenging. I am extremely pleased with the procedure; the results are very natural. He is a medical doctor and artist with great care for his patients! The entire team is great to work with they provide excellent aftercare.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User6 January 2021His 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

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

A L30 July 2023I 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!Posted on Google

He makes Houdini look like an amateur. Truly truly amazing.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User26 January 2020He and his staff could not have been more patient and thorough in explaining the procedures and follow up.Posted on HealthgradesDC3 November 2021Dr. Vaca is an Outstanding surgeon and a caring, well trained physician. He communicates well, & is extraordinarily patient and considerate. After reading several reviews from other surgeons and nurses with whom he worked during his training, I decided to choose him as my plastic surgeon. They had described as a prodigy and highly skilled in terms of both technique and artistry. I agree! I am beyond thrilled with my results. He performed abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with flank liposuction. The results after 4 months are way beyond my expectations. I am 59, two adult children and had abdominal liposuction 15 years ago. During those 15 years, my tummy became lumpy and uneven due to age & changing hormones etc... Dr. Vaca skillfully used a variety of modern techniques to achieve a FLAT tummy. It looks incredible and my belly button looks like it did 30 years ago! I recommend him to all my friends seeking plastic surgery advice. I will use him again in future - I 100% recommended!!!Posted on HealthgradesGrace Marilyn Parsons in Boynton Beach, FL7 August 2018Very pleasant and organized office with excellent explanation of procedures.Posted on Google

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 Healthgrades

David Goldman23 August 2026I write this review as a dermatologist and Mohs micrographic skin cancer surgeon with 42 years of clinical experience in general, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. I have also reconstructed numerous facial wounds after removing complex skin cancers on many of my patients’ faces. With my experience, I have a full appreciation for the complexity of eyelid surgery. I have referred numerous patients for ocular plastic surgery during my career. 18 years ago, I had disappointing cosmetic eyelid surgery that ultimately left me uncomfortable and disfigured. I consulted with three other ocular plastic surgeons who recommended that I do nothing and simply live with the result. I heard Dr. Fagien speak at a cosmetic surgery meeting, where he addressed the particular problem that I had. In that presentation, he spoke about the techniques he had developed to reconnect the outside parts of eyelids to the surrounding bone. I was relieved to know that someone would be able to correct my problematic previous result. I met with Dr. Fagan at which time we discussed my concerns. All of my questions were answered with compassion and respect. In my case, the lack of eyelid support by the orbital bone and excessive surrounding skin created unnatural webbing, narrowing of the opening of my eyes and discomfort from displaced and ingrowing eyelashes. The procedure that Dr. Fagien performed, known as lateral canthoplasty with retinacular suspension, enabled correction of the discomfort and disfiguring changes that had developed. I could not be more grateful or happier! And I think I look a few years younger, but all of my friends and family say I look at least 10 to 20 years younger, especially since Dr. Fagien removed those pesky bags under my eyes, as well🤩! Dr. Fagien carries world renowned stature for his skills, innovations, publications and kindness. I would trust him with any of my patients, family members or friends. In addition, Dr. Fagien and his staffs’ professionalism and attention to detail are unparalleled!Posted on Google

There is a reason Dr. Vaca is consistently rated 5 Stars. The experience starts with a phenomenal staff. From the moment you first call, you are treated with the utmost professionalism and personal touch. I just underwent a mini face lift with Dr. Vaca and could not be more pleased to have had him as my surgeon. He has impecable bedside manners. He takes tremendous pride in his craft, and as such, is meticulous and thourough. He listens attentively, addresses every concern, explains timelines, and sets realistic expectations. He takes his time to make sure the patient feels comfortable. At no point will you ever feel rushed. The procedure went so very smoothly, and so did the recovery. There was zero bruising, and very mild swelling! I was able to return to work within a week, and the end result was a very natural look! A youthful, and rested look. It is the combination of personal care and attention coupled with such quality of medical care that makes Dr. Vaca an exceptional surgeon
