I first worked with Dr. Fagien early in my career as an operating room nurse and knew then that if I ever needed cosmetic eye surgery, he would be the one I trusted. Thirty years later, after also working alongside his mentor, Dr. Fagien remained the only surgeon I felt completely comfortable choosing for my upper and lower blepharoplasty. His team is exemplary—professional, kind, and attentive—and their bedside manner put me at ease throughout the process. I am absolutely ecstatic with my results, though I never doubted that would be the case with Dr. Fagien.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 Google
Yolanda Martinez8 November 2022I’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%.Posted on Healthgrades

Dr Fagien is a miracle plastic surgeon. He gave me my eyes back. He gave me my life back. I am forever grateful. I couldn't even go out without sunglasses to cover my how my eyes looked. He takes his time, is extremely knowledgeable and professional and creates miracles when others couldn't. His staff is very knowledgeable and caring. His appointments are always on time. Amber was super sweet and even calmed me down on day of procedure. Dr Fagien cares about his patients and I owe him so much. I am more than happy with my results. Better than I expected.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 Healthgrades
VMarie19 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 Healthgrades
MV1 March 2023A True Professional and Wonderful Office staff I underwent a tummy tuck and liposuction one year ago with Dr. Vaca. To say I was nervous is an understatement. I was a bit of a challenging case as I’d had a tumor removed 25 years ago which left me with a vertical and horizontal scar on my abdomen and upper stomach. I knew that anyone Dr Fagien would partner with would be amazing and after meeting Dr Vaca I never felt the need for a 2nd opinion. I especially appreciated how he took the time to think through my procedure considering the challenging scar he had to deal with. His bedside manner is so calming and I truly felt at ease and confident with him. A couple of weeks before the surgery I was so nervous I asked for another meeting just to go over everything with him and his office didn’t hesitate to accommodate me. My results have been absolutely outstanding. I truly have a new lease on life and absolutely love getting dressed every morning! I would not hesitate to recommend any of my family or friends to him!!! Thank you Dr Vaca!Posted on Google

The office staff is also very warm and friendly (I even received a follow up call to make sure I was doing ok the following day). The overall experience was pleasant and I’m very happy with my results.Posted 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 Healthgrades
Juan David Velasquez25 February 2021I would encourage anyone seeking attention to detail, perfectionism and tact to see Dr. Vaca. The process from beginning to end was smooth, at ease, well informed and last but most importantly exquisitely executed. I’ll continue to visit his practice and refer him to anyone I know.Posted on Google
Amy Amy7 March 2025A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Fagien! I can’t thank Dr. Fagien enough for literally “fixing” my eyes after a botched procedure in New York. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Fagien and his entire staff are beyond wonderful—professional, kind, and truly dedicated to their patients' well-being. If you’re out of state and looking for the best doctor, I highly recommend making the trip to Florida. The quality of care, expertise, and attention to detail is absolutely unmatched. I honestly wish I had come to him first. The results speak for themselves, and I’m so grateful for the positive change he’s made in my life. If you’re considering eye surgery or any related procedures, don’t hesitate—Dr. Fagien is the doctor to trust! You will not regret it!Posted on HealthgradesAndrés K3 November 2023The 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 Google

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.

He goes above and beyond to make sure every patient is satisfied.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User25 January 2021A 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!Posted on Google
Irene Zingg11 February 2022Dr Fagien is simply the best eyelid surgeon out there. Do yourself a favor and save time by going straight to him. I saw two other popular plastic surgeons before I met him, and I was just not impressed with either one. I had the bar set very high though, since I worked with a famous plastic surgeon in my other life. Yet as soon as I met Dr Fagien and saw his work, I knew he was the one! So much so, that I barely asked him any questions, I just scheduled my surgery. Three weeks after my surgery, I went to a wedding and no one noticed I had surgery, but people kept telling me how great I looked. It’s been four months now and I absolutely love the results! My eyes look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier. His entire staff is wonderful. The outpatient facility is wonderful! The anesthesiologist was super nice. The recovery was a breeze. I would only suggest that you don’t see yourself in the mirror until the day your stitches come out😊 Dr Fagien is an amazing doctor and a wonderful human being. Caring, professional, super nice, and even funny. Absolutely nothing needs improvement in his practice. Irene ZinggPosted on Google

Randy Lebowitz29 October 2025Dr Fagien is THE BEST eyelid plastic surgeon possibly in the US. I would highly recommend his work for anybody thinking about their eyes and having surgery!!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades 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 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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User24 September 202410 Years Younger! Dr Vaca is a true artist as well as a skilled surgeon.

Tatyana Nudel12 January 2024I did my due diligence picking Dr Fagien and did he delver! Hands down THE best surgeon, very meticulous and detail oriented. Very particular and deliberate with his approach, pre-op instructions, surgical facility and anesthesiologists, his surgical technique is superb ( I am a doctor I know). My eyes look amazing! Today is less than 24 hours. No pain, virtually no swelling, no blood at all, no crusting. Have not taken single pain killer. I waited for this procedure with Dr Fagian for 2 years and it was totally worth it! I wish more surgeons would be like him. Totally a class act and bed side manner is so warm and professional.

Carolynne Bodine8 January 2020After 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.

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

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.

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.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 HealthgradesLaura Montero1 December 2020Dr Fagien performed lower blepharoplasty. It took me quite sometime to go see him because I live one hour away. 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 HealthgradesBrit E12 May 2021Highly recommend Dr Fagien. He is a very skilled surgeon who achieves exceptional results. His professionalism combined with his warm, caring personality puts you at ease immediately. His staff is top notch too, and always eager to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. I am truly thrilled with the results of my surgery and so glad I chose Dr Fagien as my doctor.Posted on Google
Lana23 June 2019I had consulted other plastic surgeon who said I need a brow lift . But dr. Fagien suggested just a minor upper lid skin removal. I scheduled my procedure. That was 6 years ago . I could not be happier. He is perfectionist . I returned for fillers and Botox when was in town. And have to say results were fantastic. I highly recommend dr. Fagien.Posted on Google

Patricia Chevrier20 September 2022I would very highly recommend both Dr. Vaca and Dr. Fagien. I was referred to this practice by a number of individuals and doctors. I also did a lot of research on my own before making my decision to have cosmetic surgery. I could not be happier. I found they listened to me, offered excellent advise and did exactly as I asked. The entire staff is professional and really care about their patients.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User10 September 2025Never a doubt I first worked with Dr. Fagien early in my career as an operating room nurse and knew then that if I ever needed cosmetic eye surgery, he would be the one I trusted. Thirty years later, after also working alongside his mentor, Dr. Fagien remained the only surgeon I felt completely comfortable choosing for my upper and lower blepharoplasty. His team is exemplary—professional, kind, and attentive—and their bedside manner put me at ease throughout the process. I am absolutely ecstatic with my results, though I never doubted that would be the case with Dr. Fagien.Posted on Google
Taylor M.28 July 2023I am OBSESSED with my results and I cannot stop looking in the mirror! Dr. Fagien is the best in the entire facial aesthetics industry, hands down. I am SO HAPPY with the absolute transformation of my face that he was able to accomplish using just botox and filler. He has made my face completely symmetrical and balanced. I now have a refreshed, youthful, and very NATURAL look. I have always been very picky about only going to excellent doctors. But Dr. Fagien just blows everyone else out of the water. His expertise and techniques are unparalleled. I have never before had a doctor spend so much time and pay such attention to detail during my appointment. He very thoroughly studied the individual intricacies of my face and my unique musculature shapes. He then applies the most unbelievably precise technique in performing his injections… I have just never before seen any doctor be so meticulously precise. The results are OUTSTANDING. I had always heard all the buzz about Doctor Fagien and how people travel from all over the country to see him. But what finally had me picking up the phone was when I saw first-hand the miraculous transformation that he performed on a friend of mine earlier this year when he did her upper/ lower eyelid surgery. I was completely blown away....Dr. Fagien is truly the king of facial aesthetics. Oh and not to mention….His staff is also wonderful. They are friendly, attentive and always right “on the ball”.Posted on Google
Laurie Ziomek25 December 2021Dr. Fagien is an awesome ocular esthetic physician not only surgically but with injectables as well. 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 HealthgradesTracy Brinker3 November 2023Amazing is an understatement …… Dr. Fagien is one of those people from the start knows what is best for you and then explains the process to get there - imagine in healthcare in 2023 a doctor who cares? Well you don’t need to look further because not only does he care he cares deeply and so does his wonderful, kind, gentle and loving staff. I am just so happy with my procedure, came out of state and the process was made so very simple for me to understand and Trust. Don’t even consider anyone else and I have said the same to my sister who commentates on TV - when or if you want to have your eyes reviewed or surgery performed you are in the right hands - I have never seen such talent (if ever). Thank you sounds like not enough to Dr. Fagien and his staff!!!!!Posted on Google
Lauren Posner22 December 2023My sister and I both had a lower blepharoplasty done and everything about our experience, from the appointments to the surgical procedure, was amazing. Dr. Fagien and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best care and results. You can tell everyone there truly cares about their patients. Highly recommended! We're still recovering from the procedure, but we're already so happy with the results!Posted on Google
Danielle Roth22 July 2021Dr. Fagien is amazing! I had a lower blepharoplasty done in February and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The doctor as well as his staff really took their time with me and answered all my questions to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I had virtually no pain and am thrilled w the results. Thanks doc!!!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User6 December 2019I have been going to Dr. Fagien For cheek filler for several years. He does such an excellent job that I come from out of state for the appointment.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User24 May 2019Dr Fagien and staff are excellent! I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone elsePosted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User3 March 2026Rhinoplasty and bilateral browlift I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Vaca. I recently went to Dr. Vaca for a rhinoplasty and browlift and I could not be happier with the results! There is no other surgeon I’d trust with any plastic surgery especially my nose. Dr. Vaca listened to what I wanted to change and I trusted his opinion on what he thought would look best for my specific features. He will always tell me when he thinks I don’t need something done and when he thinks something will look unnatural. I had minimal bruising, swelling, or scarring after my surgery and I attribute that to Dr. Vaca’s expertise as a surgeon. He is calm and confident which always made me feel at ease. Dr. Vaca and his staff truly care about their patients and take the time to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire surgery and recovery process. Any questions or concerns I had both before surgery and months later they made sure to answer and had solutions for. Thank you so much to Dr. Vaca and staff!
