I wanted to have my upper and lower eyelids done and there was no one other than Dr Fagien I would have even considered using. His reputation precedes him. He is not only an excellent surgeon but an extremely kind and caring person. He runs his practice better than any office I've ever encountered. Devina is beyond incredible throughout the surgery and postop too. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Fagien, his office and my final results. I am incredibly happy with the way my upper and lower lids turned out. He is a true gem.

Dr. Fagien came very highly recommended by three different friends. I had gone for two prior consultations with other docs in FL and NY for my eyelids which were droopy with excess skin and dark circles below. Once I met with Dr. Fagien, I knew that he was the right choice immediately. He is a highly respected oculoplastic surgeon whose work is the gold standard in this field. He performed upper and lower blepharoplasty on me, and I couldn't be happier with the natural results! I 100% recommend him. I have had so many complements on my 'refreshed' look and am SO happy I chose him to perform the surgery. Your eyes will thank you.

I had facial and breast surgery, my stitches are nearly invisible. He and his staff were very available to answer questions along the way. Their kindness and attention to detail give me great confidence in recommending their practice. Superb results!

A friend had recommended Dr. Fagien while I was visiting in Florida. I decided to stay in Florida beyond my expected departure and made my appointment with Dr. Fagien. I can’t believe the different between my prior experiences and with Dr. Fagien and his staff. The office was impeccable and I felt like I was the only patient there as they have strict Covid policies. I was brought into meet Dr. Fagien exactly on time. Dr. Fagien evaluate me and explained my options in exquisite detail including what I could expect from each of the treatments. His treatment nearly painless and had minimal signs of treatment. I was thrilled with the experience and the results as were my friend who was also impressed. I will be flying back down to Florida for my next treatments and when I need eyelid surgery. Thank you Dr. Fagien and your amazing staff!

Without a doubt, he is the Best eye surgeon in the world. His attention to detail, precision, and dedication to perfection are truly extraordinary, his surgical precision is simply unmatched. What makes him even more special is the kind and beautiful person he is. It is not easy to find a doctor who combines exceptional talent with a genuinely caring heart, and he embodies both. His staff is equally amazing. Ownie and Dani are attentive, warm, and highly professional. They make the entire experience smooth and comforting from beginning to end. I am truly grateful. Susy

Still 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!

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.

He clearly communicated his plan for my surgery and showed me pictures of what I could expect. His entire staff was absolutely amazing from my first consultation to my post op appointments. 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!

There was absolutely no pain, the customer service from his staff and from the hospital he uses are extraordinary. If you are thinking about having your eyes done, Dr. Steven is on excellent choice. Also I have to mention that results are very natural.

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.

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!

Simply 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 surgeon

If you are looking for someone to take their time and truly value you as a patient of their practice, this is the doctor you need to see!! He has a sharp eye for perfection and is very honest and thorough with his work. 15/10 recommend!

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 did a beautiful job on my surgery. It’s been 5 weeks and everyday my eyes look better. I cannot wait to see the final results in the next few weeks. The surgery was virtually painless. You can expect a few bumps along the way, but it is well worth it.

Dr Vaca is a master in his craft. He aims for very natural results and takes the time to explain the procedures. He is very kind and patient and I could not be happier with my lip lift results. I would recommend him with 10 stars!

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.

I am a repeat customer. I am a Commercial Airline Pilot and I only wanted the best doctor to work on my eyes. I wanted a plastic surgeon who specialized in eyes. I heard great things about Dr. Fagien’s work. Ten years ago Dr. Fagien did my upper eyelids. They looked amazing. They looked very natural and I was very happy with the outcome. Ten years later I had my lower lids done. Even though it’s a bit of a drive for me I never even considered another doctor. He gives me the natural, refreshed look that I want. His staff at both his office and the surgical center are very helpful and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him.

I 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!

Exceptional 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.

Dr. Fagien and staff are the best! When considering upper eyelid surgery, I knew Dr. Fagien was the top surgeon in his field so my decision was easy. However, Dr. Fagien and his staff exceeded my expectations! Everyone was so professional, friendly and caring. Six months later, I am thrilled with my results! My eyes look amazing! Dr. Fagien is the best at what he does and I highly recommend him.

The whole experience was very comforting, caring and inspired confidence. I considered getting my eyes done for a long time but when I was finally ready Dr. Fagien and his stuff made this process wonderful. My results are incredible and I would recommend this practice to everyone who considers any kind of plastic eye surgery.

I wasn’t sure if it was time to look into anti-aging procedures and went to Dr Faigen and Dr Vaca and they advised me it isn’t time yet. Not a cash grab but ethical and kind surgeons. I look forward to seeing them again in perhaps a few years

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

An Incredibly Talented and Knowledgeable Doctor I am not new to injectables. Sometimes I’m pleased with the results and sometimes not so much. HOWEVER, Dr. Vaca has overwhelmed me with his skills and doctor-patient approach. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Dr. Fagien is one of the most ethical plastic surgeons I have ever met. I would highly recommend him. After leaving his office he advised me that I really didn’t need the work I was asking for and advised me to see my health care provider. I don’t know many if any plastic surgeons that would do that.

I waited less than 5 minutes in waiting room. Dr Fagien came in exam room with in 3 minutes. We you honest and let me know what my options were. He told me to save my money that I wouldn’t get results that I was looking for . I’m very happy he was honest with me and not looking at my as dollar signs. Definitely would recommend him.

He is very kind and thorough!
