I am not embarrassed to say that at 63 I had my upper lids done by Dr. Fagien. He was warm and professional as was his staff. The eyes came out great. 9 days post surgery now and I am thrilled. Dr. Fagien also repaired a botched eyelid surgery my husband had. He is the best. Highly recommend!Posted on Healthgrades

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
Joan R.27 May 2023Dr. Fagien does amazing surgery. My results were perfect, the process was smooth, the attention was excellent and I would recommend Dr. Fagien and his team highly. I have had surgeries before and this was by far my best experience! Bravo to the surgical team and the office assistants who were exceptional!Posted on Healthgrades
Keys Pat13 May 2022Great staff, great results I cannot recommend Dr Fagien highly enough. He explained the procedure and it went exactly as planned. Pain was minimal, a bit of itching from the stitches. I had my upper eyelids done Monday and look quite presentable Friday- the stitches are the only giveaway. Best of all, I look rested, not over-pulled.Posted on Google

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 Healthgrades
Healthgrades 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 Google
Beatriz Cuervo1 September 2025I 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!Posted on Google
Let it Glow Inc1 April 2021Dr. 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.Posted on Healthgrades

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 Google
Michelle haddock22 June 2020I 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.Posted on Google
Andrea Quain2 June 2021Dr. 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. :)Posted on Google

Maia Pinzur7 August 2024Dr. 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!!Posted on Google
Jodi Kahn7 November 2020SImply the BEST! I've been going to the brilliant Dr. Faigen for 16 years. He NEVER pushes you into something, even if you want it lol. He's honest, talented and conservative. You'll always leave looking like yourself, only better! Thank you for being consistently the greatest Dr. there is <3Posted on HealthgradesVMarie19 January 2020Dr. Fagien and his office staff could not be more professional or nicer! I had my eyelids done and took off my steri strips in my sleep. It was Sat morning so I called the answering service. Seconds later Dr. Fagien called me to meet him at the office and fix the problem. My Fiancé is a surgeon as well and could not have been more impressed with his perfect stitches and attention to detail. Thank you for everything Dr. Fagien, Devina , & Olivia I will definitely be recommending your office.Posted on HealthgradesKaren N.14 September 2022The Best! This doctor takes so much pride in his work. I recently had upper/lower bleph and ptosis repair on 8/29/22. From the first visit I felt so comfortable. He takes sooooo much time with you during your visit. He has the best bedside manner. Office staff is great also. I'm still healing, but I love what I see so far. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Fagien 1000 times over!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
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. I am thrilled with the outcome and happy to speak to anyone who still has questions about Dr. Vaca.Posted on Google
jenjenenjen Puyanic9 December 2022Dr. 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.Posted on Google
Josie Murray13 May 2022Honestly wonderful experience from start to finish. I had an accident and needed stitches in my eyelid. I was scared and upset and the team was great. It’s nice to feel heard and understood from a doctors office, especially when you’re in crisis. Dani at the front desk really listened to what was happening and made sure I could be seen as soon as possible and answered all my questions. Dr. Vaca worked quick and well. It was such a fast and painless process. They answered any and all questions without judgement. When it was time to remove the stitches I was in and out the fastest I’ve ever been at a doctors office. Effective, efficient and kind place. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Google
Tony Ramudo8 June 2022Can’t say enough good things about Dr Vaca. An easygoing bedside manner paired with excellent training makes for a great Dr. Highly recommend!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User11 April 2025Expectations exceeded! Dr Vaca did my lower face and neck lift as well as my lower eyelids and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! I am 9 weeks out from surgery now, but have felt like I looked fabulous since 3 weeks out. Dr Vaca’s bedside manner is amazing. I’ve felt safe and comfortable with him since my initial consultation. He is kind and caring and always available for questions or concerns. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Thank you Dr Vaca-you are the best!!!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User12 November 2025Best Decision Ever I had a temporal lift and upper bleph with Dr. Vaca. 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 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 Healthgrades

Cathy Daly30 January 2024From 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.Posted on Healthgrades
Lisa Keeler7 February 2022Upper 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.Posted on Google

Melanie Wantuck19 September 2020I have been a nurse at Northwestern Hospital for over 20 years, so I have seen many doctors come and go. I work in the PACU and recover patients after various surgeries. Plastic surgery is one of them. So about 2 years ago there is all this talk about this guy in plastics who is a true “prodigy”.... of course my curiosity got the best of me and I started asking around. Elbert Vaca...Dr. Elbert Vaca... the best surgeon anyone has come across in a very long time.... ( this talk is coming from well known (experienced) surgeons ) ... Over the next 2 years, I was able to recover Dr. Vaca’s patients after various types of plastic surgeries. And the results were dumbfounding....he was Incredible .....his results impeccable...honestly, “perfection” in its truest form... I have Personally seen him for Botox and filler.... his work is amazing. *People look like a better version of themselves, not fake or unrecognizable.* I am 48 years old and will travel to Florida to see Dr.Vaca when the time comes for me to get my face and neck lift... this will also include my upper and lower eyes. He is going to do some fat transfer into my faces as well.. ( Trend alert: this is the new filler ladies!!!).......... I want the world to know about Dr. Vaca because he is so gifted. This is an example of where “years of experience” need not be considered... he is a prodigy. He was born to do this and if you go to him... your life will change! I no longer have a fear of aging..... as long as he is around! That is also a gift.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.

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.

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

martha sanchez10 August 2018Dr 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.

He doesn't push you to do anything but rather allows the patient to decide what he/she wants. He and his staff are warm and caring as soon as you enter the office! Highly recommend!!Posted on HealthgradesAmy11 August 2021My 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User20 August 2025Exceptional 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.Posted on Google

Maria Victoria Tomic29 September 2020My experience with Dr. Vaca was one to rave about! I was nervous to get Botox for the first time, but he was incredibly professional, patient and experienced. His bedside manner is informative yet calming. Also, his academic and professional accolades pretty much speak for themselves. I highly recommend using him!Posted on HealthgradesChristine N1 June 2024Definitely Dr Fagien was very good at setting expectations and explaining. Very kind, does excellent work and has excellent staff!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User4 November 2021I’m always happy with the results. I’ve been treated by Dr. Fagien for many years. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!Posted on HealthgradesFt Lauderdale, FL3 May 2017Dr. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted on Google

Yolly Bolasini10 September 2026My whole experience was wonderful! My dermatologist had recommended Dr Fagien for my eyes surgery, but I was a little hesitant after hearing so bad stories about other doctors. One year ago I finally decided to take the chance and today I thank myself for doing it! My eyes look so good yet so natural that most of my friends didn't notice about a surgery! They just say I look so young and pretty! Dr Fagien is very kind and extremely good professional! He took care of me all the way, he kindly answered all my doubts and concerns and helped me out through the whole process. Also his team, all the staff at his offices are really nice and knowledgeable. I recommend this doctor to anyone who wants their eyes to look amazing!Posted on Google

Jacqueline Rodriguez (Dezer Platinum Realty LLC)2 August 2018Amaing office, staff and doctor.Posted on HealthgradesOL21 February 2023Simply the Best! 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 surgeonPosted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User19 October 2026very knowledgeable Dr. Vaca was very informative and patient during a recent consult that I had with him.

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
Thelma Moya3 February 2021Dr. Vaca is a articulate professional, who did my lip filler approximately 2 weeks ago, and I am very thrilled with the results. I highly recommend him to do any of your services. He is very pleasant and pays attention to detail and most of all very honest.Posted on HealthgradesTara H16 March 2021Dr 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.
