Megan E McNally22 January 20255 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!!!Posted on Google

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

RB Cutie26 August 2021So far I have loved my experience with Dr. Vaca. The consultation was amazing, and I felt very comfortable with him. Last week was my surgery, and so far, I feel awesome! I went in thinking I was going to be in so much pain after the surgery, but I was completely wrong (everyone is different). The day of the surgery I was a little nervous, but Dr. Vaca and everyone on his staff made me feel well taken care of. He is an absolutely amazing doctor.! Super happy and excited about my results, In only one week.Posted on Google
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

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 Google
Gwen Hudson12 April 2018I love Dr Fagien. He did my eyes ten years ago. They still look awesome. I have spoken to many professionals and his peers and they give him stellar reviews.

I would highly reccommend Dr Fagien and his office to anyone thinking about having eyelid or other eye plastic surgery.Posted on HealthgradesAlice26 September 2021To 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!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.

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 HealthgradesHappy woman!15 April 2022Excellent experienced!!!

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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User8 July 2023Wish 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.

Robert S15 May 2024Excellent results and a great experience from both Dr Fagien and his staff.Posted on HealthgradesBP30 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

I have trusted my face to Dr. Fagien for 20 years. I also value his honest opinion.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.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

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 Google
Roberta Deutsch3 September 2021Nine 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User11 May 2019As always it is such a pleasure to be in the hands of such an excellent professionalPosted on Google
