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.

Dr. Vaca is an amazing surgeon. He is so meticulous and detailed in his work. I had a BA done by him 3 weeks ago in May and it could not have gone smoother. Dr. Vaca is so sweet and guides you through the process with ease and understanding. I absolutely love my results and I am SO glad he was my surgeon. I will be a lifetime client of his & I have already referred him to family. If you are considering a plastic surgeon look no further. :)

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”!

“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!”

Had my upper eyelids done. He is a skilled surgeon and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I had a post operative issue (totally my fault) and he met me at the office on a Sunday and was unbelievably kind and caring. If you need eye improvement, he is your professional. This is not a paid review. Thanks Dr. Fagien

Not only is he an artist and extremely knowledgeable, but he is so down to earth and cares for his patients wholeheartedly. His staff is amazing and so professional. I recommend him and his practice to everyone I know, without any hesitation. Dr. Fagien is unquestionably the best in the business. Thank you for everything you do! You are the best :)

Wish more doctors were like Dr. Vaca In an age of acceleration and rush, Dr. Vaca stands alone with his uncommon patience, sincere kindness and genuine care. He explains procedures thoroughly and his clinical skills are extraordinary. As a highly discerning patient, I can’t recommend Dr. Vaca highly enough.

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.

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.

Dr. Vaca is one of the best plastic surgeons I have ever worked with. Working in this industry for many years he is definitely one of the best out there. I really enjoyed his attention to detail and making sure I was comfortable. I am not one for getting work done that doesn’t look natural and he helped me achieve my goal with a more natural look. He also has an amazing vibe and great bedside manner. Highly recommended to anyone in the South Florida area.

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.

I am one of the most qualified patients to recommend Dr. Elbert Vaca, as I had multiple surgeries with him in 2021. What began with one surgery ended with three (TT, neck/face lift and breast reduction), as each surgery over-exceeded my expectations. He's an exceptional plastic surgeon, but also a kind and caring person. During office consultations, Dr. Vaca was patient and generous with his time, addressing my many questions and concerns. He thoroughly prepares his patients for surgery as he wants them to have a successful outcome. I never doubted his recommendations and completely trusted his honest opinion. I was very happy with both the surgery and post-op recovery, as I was well prepared and felt great! I could not have asked for a better surgeon, as he delivers natural looking results. He's highly trained and very proud of his work. I recommend Dr. Elbert Vaca enthusiastically and without reservation.

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! 👏🏽👏🏽

Dr Fagien is very knowledgeable and honest. We are unable to perform the surgery we wanted because it would not give the results we were looking for and he was up front about it. We went to two others surgeons before him and they both recommended the surgery. Which proves that he is honest not in it just for the money.

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've been going to the Dr. Faigen for over 10 years. He first did my upper and lower eyelids and I’ve been going back for Botox on a regular basis. He is the only one I trust for eye cosmetic surgery. On my last visit, I was concerned about having Botox and the Covid vaccine. He sat down, explained everything in detail and I felt very comfortable with going ahead with Botox. His office is immaculate and his staff is professional. Davina is especially kind and friendly!

I’ll never tire of saying what a gentleman Dr. Fagien is, but most important, what an outstanding, awesome doctor he is. When I moved to this area some years ago I asked another Doctor to recommend me an Oculoplastic Surgeon, and without hesitation he said, “Steve Fagien, he is the best of the best, and I trust him blindly”. He was right 101%.

Simply the best! Dr. Fagien and his entire team are the best and make you feel comfortable with the entire process. If I could give him 100 stars I would! I am very happy with my experience!

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.

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 and his extra pleasant staff made me so comfortable for my upcoming surgery . It was a breeze with no pain , and the outcome looks wonderful , though I’m still swollen and the full results will be seen in a month or so . He is very kind, comforting and a true artist . I give him a 10!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!

Most definitely would recommend On consultation, Dr Fagien suggested a different path than I had thought to achieve the results I wanted. He was exactly right. He’s a real expert in cosmetic eye surgery. His staff reflects his experienced and expert qualities, with everyone truly impressing with their professionalism and pleasant demeanor. 100% recommended

Dr.faigan restored years of bad choices I had .made...Chronic Alcoholism and Drug abuse...Now at 49yrs old and a devout Christian I had to come to realize I needed to be freshened up...Nothing to drastic just little filler here and there with some botox and I must say first visit was beyond my exspectations... Dr.faigan made it very clear that this would be a process not an over night fix...So after 3 visits I look 10 years younger....For any one considering Dr.faigan I would say this is the doctor you want. He's honest caring and his staff are all sweethearts...My first visit i told him what i wanted and the next 2 visits i asked that he decided what he thought....You must decide your buget meaning how much can you afford as I did research prior to visit to see what things cost today...I was surprised on my check out that hes quite fair and reasonable on his work....Amazing results.....Felt as if I was in Gods hands the whole time...Ladies look him up for yourself.....He teaches and has written several books ...Dr.Faigan thank you and God Bless you and your Staff.....Sincerely Dori Cash

The best result possible. Dr. Fagien was outstanding—attentive, charismatic, and fully dedicated to achieving the best possible results. He proactively and carefully addressed all potential concerns throughout my surgery journey. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. I'm beyond happy with the results and highly recommend him.

It'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.

I loved Dr. Fagien’s candidness. He suggested I go to my endocrinologist to have my thyroid checked because my eyes and bridge over my noise are so swollen. After that, he suggested I come back in for a consultation.

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.

I had a procedure with Dr Fagien almost 3 weeks ago. At the initial consultation, Dr. Fagien answered all of my questions very clearly and patiently . His knowledge and excellent reputation made me feel that I was in very good hands. The surgical coordinator , Davina carefully explained everything I needed to do pre and post op. She was also at the surgical facility on the day of my procedure , taking such great care of me, making sure I was relaxed and comfortable. She also called to check on me after the proceedure to see how I was doing. Amber and Thelma the nurses , thoughtfully answered of all of my questions and concerns after my proceedure and were always kind and helpfull. I was very happy with my whole experience at this medical practice.

Excellent Eyelid Surgeon Dr Fagien is an excellent eye surgeon! Every step of the process was perfect. Anytime I had a question or issue, I was able to see Dr Fagien or his amazing staff quickly and the office was always helpful and kind. My results were also fantastic. I would highly reccommend Dr Fagien and his office to anyone thinking about having eyelid or other eye plastic surgery.

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.

I 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.
