Expectations 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 Healthgrades
Veronika26 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

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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User27 July 2023The best! My surgical experience with Dr. Vaca was extremely positive. I so appreciate his empathy for my concerns and professionalism in laying out reasonable expectations. 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!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.

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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User12 August 2024Face and Neck List HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!! I’m so HAPPY, I could say it 1000 times but it wouldn’t express how happy I am with my new younger neck and face, it restored the younger me! I owe it all to the exceptional talented meticulous, Dr Vaca. I would give you the highest Michelin star if there was such a thing for plastic surgery!! And I want to say thank you to the girls in the office you’re all fabulous!! Thank you, Dr Vaca I’ll be forever grateful and thank you, Dr. Fagien for putting me in the hands of such an artistPosted on Google

Boston Transportation Dispatch Training10 August 2021If I could give Dr Fagien and his team 500 stars instead of just 5, I would! This is an amazing doctor with tons of experience. I am very satisfied with the results of my lower eye lid surgery which happens to have a fancy name: Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty. Being a business owner, a public speaker, and a zoom instructor, I have to look presentable. At some point, due to genetics, i noticed that my lower eyelids started sagging. It did not feel good. So I found the best oculoplastic doctor and asked him to fix it. Dr Fagien suggested the transconjunstival blepharoplasty. Taken into account that my skin was otherwise young and firm, no fillers and no other extra procedures were offered. The surgery and the post op was not at all painful! That was a great bonus!lol I came back to work in 5 days. I listened to all the recommendations and followups from my Dr’s office. His team deserves a special separate 5 star review! Everyone was super helpful and accommodating! I am very happy now! Thank you Dr Fagien!Posted on Google

In the meantime I did quite a bit of research and and had friends who Dr. Fagien operated on and look spectacular. His professional and meticulous manner from the very first visit confirmed my choice and seven weeks out post surgery I have never been happier.

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

A R10 January 2022I recently had two facial surgeries done with Dr. Vaca. I am blown away by the beautiful and elegant results. From the initial consultation to the surgery I felt truly cared for as Dr. Vaca was so kind and also so mathematically precise with his considerations and measurements of my eyes and of the harmony of my face. Even the staff at the surgery center commented on how they try to get into the OR to watch his innovative techniques. I would trust him with my face again. He is a truly gifted surgeon and a very kind, compassionate person.Posted 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

Healthgrades User24 February 2025Highly Recommend Last month I had surgery with both Dr. Fagien and Dr. Vaca. My entire experience with Dr. Fagien, Dr. Vaca and their office was fantastic. My initial consultation was informative. Drs. Fagien and Vaca listened to my concerns, did an assessment, and gave me their recommendations. They explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. They took their time. 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 Google
Deborah Parnell6 September 2020My experience with Dr. Vaca was amazing. His presentation is warm , knowledgeable and sincere. I had stomach FAT that wouldn't go away. Dr. Vaca evaluated my abdomen and due to my previous C sections recommended abdominalplasty. I LOOK GREAT now. I asked him about the sagging jawline (jowls) and wanted a quick fix. He assessed the face and recommended a modified face lift procedure. Because of his proven honesty and talent, I agreed and I cannot be HAPPIER. He is a truly talented and humble surgeon. Never thought I would use those two adjectives in one sentence about a surgeon, but that's the magic of Dr. Vaca. As a RN whose specialty s Operating Room nursing, I have worked with many surgeons. Dr. Vaca is an exceptional surgeon. That is my personal AND professional opinion.Posted on Google

Alisa Landy12 November 2023It 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User18 February 2022I had upper eyelid blepharoplasty done less than two weeks ago. The whole experience has been wonderful. Dr. Fagien has a comforting bedside manner but more importantly he is an excellent surgeon, a perfectionist. The office staff is top notch and has been in touch with me every step of the way. My results are amazing but I had no doubt they would be due to Dr. Fagiens exceptional skills in his field. I am so thankful for all he has done for me and I recommend him to anyone considering having this procedure. The only regret I have is not doing this sooner! Thank you Dr. Fagien!Posted on Google
bob S10 December 2024Recently 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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User19 October 2026very knowledgeable Dr. Vaca was very informative and patient during a recent consult that I had with him.

He is very compassionate and educated. I will definitely choose to work with him in the future!Posted on Healthgrades

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.

Bonnie Osher20 July 2021Dr. Fagien is a master and he is a doctor’s doctor. Doctors go to Dr. Fagien because they know he is the the best in his field. He is honest and conservative and no one will look strange if Dr. Fagien does your treatment. He is very successful and he enjoys making everyone happy. You will get an honest opinion and he won’t do anything that will make you look freaky. I do my homework and check out doctors by getting opinions from other doctors in Florida and also other areas of the country. Steve Fagien is the only doctor to use. He takes his time and makes sure his procedures do not hurt. He and his staff are kind, caring and very professional. I am not related to the doctor and this is my first endorsement I have ever written but Dr. Fagien is truly special. The only difficulty is in spelling his name.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. Thank you Dr. Vaca and your exceptional team for your exceptional work and for making a significant difference in my life. I am blessed to have you as my doctor.

Tours and info by Simo Boggio Byrne20 March 2021Dr Fagien did a fantastic job to my eyes, I had no pain at all and the result is amazing. All his staff is excellent. I highly recommend Dr FagienPosted on HealthgradesDC3 November 2021Dr. 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.Posted on Google
Diana Murdock1 June 2018It'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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User22 July 2021Traveled from Nashville for blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien, and my experience has been outstanding. Dr. Fagien is one of, if not the best, oculoplastic surgeons in the U.S., his staff is top notch, and my outcome has exceeded my expectations! Absolutely would do it again.Posted on HealthgradesArlen9 February 2021Dr. Vaca is incredible. He has an outstanding quality of medical care. I got my lips done with him for the first time ever and I can say that I am extremely happy with the results. He took his time and listened to what I wanted and then explained everything to detail. I immediately felt at ease and confident in my receiving expert medical care.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
