I’ve seen Dr Faigen for injectables. You may feel confident in Dr Faigen’s work. His approach is comforting, his work distinguished. He listens and creates a wonderful, natural look.

Dr. Fagien and staff are amazing! From the moment of my consultation I knew Dr. Fagien was the doctor I needed for my upper and lower blepharoplasty. His expert knowledge along with extreme passion for his work showed immediately. My surgery was in late October 2023 and I could not be happier with the results.Posted on Google

Dee I7 November 2025Exceptional 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.Posted on Healthgrades

Healthgrades User9 April 2025Magic hands! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Fagien and his team! From the very first consultation, he made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to undergo an upper and lower eyelid surgery. Specifically, went to see him for a corrective surgery on my lower eyelid. I had a fat transfer gone bad from a previous surgeon which left a bump under my eye. With Dr. Fagan‘s magic hands he was able to remove most of the excessive fat in this very delicate surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Fagan as he is a very skilled surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and delivers amazing results. Thank you!!Posted on Healthgrades

BP30 December 2021I 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.Posted on Google

Jana D'Agostino16 September 2021Dr Fagien and his staff are amazing. His office is very clean and beautiful. He truly listens and gives his honest opinion about what you need. I have been coming to him for Botox and fillers in my forehead for over 2 years and he is a true artist and pays close attention to details. After going to multiple doctors before him and not having the results I wanted, he came highly recommended. He was the only doctor that was honest and said that Botox alone would not help my deep lines in my forehead. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your results. I will be his patient for life.Posted on Google

He was professional, personable and he approached my case with medical expertise and visual artistry. He clearly communicated his plan for my surgery and showed me pictures of what I could expect.

All instructions were clearly written out, and I was frequently checked on during the week after surgery. Most importantly, I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Fagien! Thank you for being so attentive and skilled!Posted on Google
K G9 September 2020In June 2020 Dr. Vaca performed a facelift using the SMAS technique. From the first day we met, during many emails and phone calls, day of surgery, post-op visits and again, many calls and emails, Dr. Vaca was informative, caring and patient. Dr. Vaca is very detailed and made sure that I fully understood everything regarding my health and procedure. Every question was answered.

Dr. Fagin, thank you for your great work!Posted on HealthgradesBob S11 December 2024Amazing Cosmetic Eye Surgeon 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.Posted on Google

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

From Amber, Hannah, Delfina and, of course Dr. Fagien, I felt comfortable and important! Time and consideration was given for listening and answering my concerns and questions.. The results of their expertise was matched by the Boca Raton Surgical outpatient staff. My expectations were exceeded! Dr. Fagien was recommended by 2 of his patients who were treated by him in the past. Plus! His participation,involvement and leadership in philanthropic commitments are exemplary to what ‘the practice of medicine ‘ should be all about! Thank you.Posted on Google

Susan Feldhaus30 January 2021Had my upper eyelids done. He is a skilled surgeon and made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

Cindy Grafman31 October 2018The BEST !!!!! I wouldn't let anyone BUT Dr. Fagien touch me.. ! He's gentle, kind & treats his staff like family..

That is how he gets his impeccable reputation....Posted on Google
Cindy Goldfarb25 August 2021I 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User19 February 2025Amazing care! Dr. Fagien was amazing. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. His bedside manner is warm and friendly. Two friends, from different parts of my life, recommended him so I knew I was in great care. He was very clear and thoughtful about what would be best for me and I am just completely thrilled with the results.Posted on Healthgrades
Healthgrades 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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User21 July 2020I had a virtual appointment with Dr. Fagien and really appreciated his assessment of what I needed and didn’t need. If I decide to have the eye surgery this is definitely the doctor I will do it with.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User10 December 2025Happy Upper and Lower Bleph patient. My surgery was on 11/3/25 and today i just completed my 5 week follow up. I am very happy with my choice in doctor and my results so far.

Thankful for the staff also as they were helpful and kind.Posted on Google
Tirso San Jose11 August 2021Dr. Fagien and his entire team were amazing! From the moment you contact them for an initial consultation to post surgery, Dr. Fagien and team were courteous, on time, and professional. Dr. Fagien never once over sold his services and offered only those that specifically pertained to my situation. Also, worthy of mentioning is the Eye Institute where the procedure was actually performed. The staff there from the intake nurse to the one who wheeled me out after surgery ALL were extremely kind and sensitive. I highly recommend Dr. Fagien and his teamPosted on HealthgradesVeronika26 April 2021Another 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.Posted on Google

Dr. Fagien is simply the BEST and his staff is wonderful. I am so glad that I trusted my eyes to Dr. Fagien - he is truly an artist extraordinaire who gave me the natural look that I desired. He has a wonderful and caring personality as well, and he and his amazing team including Dani, Devina, Victoria, and Hannah (apologies if I am missing anyone) “held my hand” the entire journey and answered any and all questions, anytime that I asked. The surgery and recovery was exactly as explained with minimal discomfort. Even two weeks after the surgery I was hearing “you look great” and “were you on vacation?” from people and co-workers who didn’t know I had my eyelids done. 10 weeks after surgery, I am thrilled and the results will only keep improving as I heal completely. Thank you, Dr. Fagien and team - truly love the way I look and appreciate the excellent care that I received !!Posted on Google
Renee Doehler25 February 2019I 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.Posted on Google
Liz Martelle22 March 2021Simply a pleasure! to work with. He has that old bedside manner that has been lost in a lot of physician's.

Madelyn Strauss6 June 2022I 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.Posted on HealthgradesVeronica Zarco29 October 2022Amazing Everything about my visit was exceptionally amazing.

It was very important to me that I retain the natural shape of my eyes, and I wanted an effective, yet conservative, approach. Dr. Vaca listened attentively and took time to walk me through exactly what to expect during and after the procedure. I felt safe and assured that I was in capable hands. His entire team is friendly and competent. I am incredibly pleased with the results. Someone I know recently said, “I don’t know what you’re doing differently, but you look younger.” Perfect! That is exactly what I was going for. Sending a huge thank you to Dr. Vaca and his wonderful team!Posted on HealthgradesPam R11 August 2022Best eyelid surgeon!

He is personable, competent and an excellent surgeon.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 HealthgradesKim Champion12 September 2023Above 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.Posted on HealthgradesLauren22 December 20231000/10 My sister and I both had a lower blepharoplasty done and everything about our experience, from the appointments to the surgical procedure, was amazing.

He is an artist who pays close attention to details. I will for sure be returning for all future botox and filler! He goes above and beyond to make sure every patient is satisfied.Posted on Google

It’s hard with busy schedule. I’m so happy I finally made it. He did an amazing job. He’s very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. He’s a leader in his field and rightly so. He has a wonderful staff and impecable office. I highly recommend him.Posted on HealthgradesRoberta M .Deutsch10 June 2021I have been going to Dr. Fagien since 2012. He is a consummate professional and has a great bedside manner in addition to exceptional skills. I always look like I just went on vacation, really natural. I rarely bruise and this is because he numbs you from the inside. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wanting to look refreshed and rejuvenated. He has an excellent skilled staff ready, willing and able to take care of you during your visit. He’s just the best.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User17 July 2025Best Dr and Best Staff Dr Fagien and his entire staff went above and beyond to ensure my procedure was a tremendous success.

Ashley Calandra12 March 2025Dr. Vaca is truly amazing! From start to finish, my experience with him and his team was nothing short of exceptional. I had a procedure with him, and the results exceeded my expectations—I only wish I had found him sooner! His skill, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched, and I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. Beyond his expertise, his staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, making every step seamless and stress-free. I've already recommended Dr. Vaca to so many people in my network, and I will continue to do so without hesitation. He's an artist :) :) 10/10Posted on Google
emmitt rhodes20 November 2023This 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.Posted on Google

Kathy Lelii27 February 2020Dr. Fagien has a gentle and calming manner and the ability to make you feel comfortable. He does not push you to have more done than what you are comfortable with.
