Dr 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. We went to two others surgeons before him and they both recommended the surgery. Which proves that he is honest not in it just for the money.

I 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.

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!

Dr. 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.

My 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.

Dr. 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.

masterful artistry This is unsolicited unpaid genuine review. I am a doctor and I did a lot of research and chose Dr. Fagien based on his reputation, experience, and cases. I had zero doubts when I scheduled my consultation for which I had to wait nine months and then my surgery was nine months later. I was told that I will not have any pain and will not need a single after the procedure. Dr. Fagien is a perfectionist and is a great seasoned meticulous surgeon who has protocols based on science and experience. The surgical center was extremely professional, surgery went off without a hitch exactly as he described in the initial consultation. I had absolutely zero pain. I was back to work four days later with stitches, that nobody even noticed, including my own patients. I went out to social events without Make Up and had no reservations. If you’re contemplating any eye surgery Run don’t walk because you will have to wait at least two years!

I 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!

I 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.

Eye Surgery Dr Fagien and his team are the best. I got a fantastic result with my eyelid surgery and it was relatively painless. I was at my office 48 hours after surgery. Everything went exactly as planned and Dr Fagien exceeded my expectations in every way. He is for sure the “Eye Guy”.

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.

Blepharoplasty 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.

I 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.

Dr Fagien is a world renowned highly skilled ocular plastic surgeon, author and educator. I had a cutting-edge procedure performed by him 24 years ago that most, more experienced, ocular plastic surgeons could not perform at that time. I continue to see Dr. Fagien on a regular basis for Botox and fillers and would not trust anyone else. His office is impeccable and his staff is extremely professional and friendly. Consumers beware… You get what you pay for and Dr. Fagien is “The Man”!

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

I have been going to Dr. Fagien since 2012. He is a consummate professional and has a great bedside manner in addition to exceptional skills. I always look like I just went on vacation, really natural. I rarely bruise and this is because he numbs you from the inside. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wanting to look refreshed and rejuvenated. He has an excellent skilled staff ready, willing and able to take care of you during your visit. He’s just the best.

His name was recommended to me from the PA at my Miami cosmetic Derm’s office. His office & staff are superb - very clean, beautiful aesthetic & very helpful. He has a great energy that put me at ease & no worries as I tend to be worried. I did my R lower eyelid Dec 3rd, 2020 to even out both my eyes from my natural bags & use of under eye filler throughout the years. It’s been 5 weeks. No one can tell I had something done. The first week was hard just due to the sleeping up but his work is very detailed, healed well & fast. I am coming to see him for my 5 week. I am very happy with his work. Thank you Dr. Fagien. I can’t wait to go back to him when I need to do the rest.

He is incredibly thorough, thoughtful and kind, exceptional in all aspects from the first consultation all the way through recovery. I am so happy with the results and very grateful for his brilliance, talent and expertise. If you are looking for excellence he is, hands down, the one.

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.

Dr Fagien and his staff are amazing. His office is very clean and beautiful. He truly listens and gives his honest opinion about what you need. I have been coming to him for Botox and fillers in my forehead for over 2 years and he is a true artist and pays close attention to details. After going to multiple doctors before him and not having the results I wanted, he came highly recommended. He was the only doctor that was honest and said that Botox alone would not help my deep lines in my forehead. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your results. I will be his patient for life.

I 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”.

Dr. Vaca is amazing. One week post-op neck and facelift and I feel great. Still a little swollen but I can see it is going to be great! He is meticulous and talented but also kind and considerate. The whole office is wonderful.

Dr Vaca is extremely skilled and caring. His office staff tended to all my needs and questions. I was informed of all the details pertaining to my surgery so I could achieve a great result. They continue to care about my recovery journey. I would highly recommend Dr Vaca for all your cosmetic needs. He has turned back my clock 10 years!

Look no further! Dr. Fagien is the best of the best. I am a very high maintenance patient, extremely nervous and anxious. Dr. Fagien and his staff were incredibly caring and comforting. Dr. Fagien’s bedside manner helped me feel relaxed and gave me the knowledge that I had picked the right doctor for the job.

After interviewing many surgeons in south Florida, I picked Dr Fagien to perform my upper eyelid surgery. The results are amazing. More importantly he and his staff put me at ease during the procedure. Now he does my injectables, too

The best decision I ever made was coming to Dr. Fagien! I had a right ptsosis repair done on my upper eyelid and he is a magician with his hands. I was a special case with having different shaped eye folds, different colored eyes AND glaucoma in my right eye. He magically create symmetry in my face (never had before) and matched my eye fold beautifully without any scarring. I had consultations all around South Florida and in San Francisco, CA (where I am from) and ultimately decided on his expertise and I couldn't be happier! His staff is thoughtful and they all take the time to explain the process, what to expect, etc. Do yourself a favor and go see him! He's restored my confidence and made me feel beautiful again! Thank you so much to Dr. Fagien and his staff!!

Dr. Steve Fagien is an exceptional surgeon. He performed under eye surgery on my daughter in June 2018. She had developed dark circles under eyes at a young age and was very sad about her looks. She wouldn't go without makeup on. I was concerned and afraid of the surgery because of her young age. The results from the surgery were simply amazing. She is so happy and looks so beautiful. As a mother, I can't tell you how delighted I am to see her smile and love her looks again. He and his staff are personable and very accessible. They were there for us before, during and after the surgery. I give the whole experience a 10. He is the best!

Dr. 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. :)

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.

I could not be more pleased with my results from Dr. Vaca. From the first moment you step into the beautiful suite you are greeted warmly by the receptionist and wait only mere minutes before being escorted to a consultation room. Dr. Vaca’s gentle and kind demeanor make the consultation effortless. After assessing your concerns Dr. Vaca will show you his previous work so that you may see beautiful results from other patients. His aesthetic compliments and enhances your natural beauty without overdoing it. He is careful in his assessments and is very honest with how he would proceed in correcting your concerns. Not only is his demeanor gentle, but his hands are as well, causing no pain throughout the entire process. I am so happy and lucky to have found such a wonderful surgeon!

I've been going to the Dr. Faigen for over 10 years. He first did my upper and lower eyelids and I’ve been going back for Botox on a regular basis. He is the only one I trust for eye cosmetic surgery. On my last visit, I was concerned about having Botox and the Covid vaccine. He sat down, explained everything in detail and I felt very comfortable with going ahead with Botox. His office is immaculate and his staff is professional. Davina is especially kind and friendly!

EXCEPTIONAL! Dr Fagien is simply exceptional. I’ve known him for 20+ years, and that level of trust made my decision to undergo surgery an easy one. His approach is both refined & conservative, resulting in beautifully natural, classy outcomes- my results exceeded my expectations! He took the time to genuinely listen to my concerns- which feels increasingly rare these days, lol- and made me feel completely at ease. What truly sets him apart is his honesty, warmth & the way he treats you as a person, not just a number. He’s not trying to sell himself or any procedure, how refreshing! His staff is equally capable, professional & supportive, making the experience seamless. He is an expert in his craft & I’m incredibly grateful.

Honestly 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.

My 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!

This 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.

Amazing Cosmetic Eye Surgeon Recently 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.
