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!

Dr. Fagien is a world class gifted surgeon. He is conservative, meticulous, and has an artistic eye. 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.

His work, and referral from patients and colleagues, speaks for itself. I had absolutely no reservations that I would have my eyes back the way they were, and not have them look fixed. He is caring, spends time explaining things to you, and goes beyond in every way. I can’t tell you how pleased I am!!!! Have no reservations about Dr. Fagien, he is truly and eye artist!!!

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

His office staff are very responsive and helpful, as are his operating room team. I highly, highly recommend Dr Fagien - he is truly a "surgeon's surgeon".

I 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.

Hello, I had my surgery back in May and everything went beautifully! I am very happy with the results! However, I was very shocked to learn that Dr. Faigen has a non-medical non licensed person treating patients and removing stitches!? Granted, she did a beautiful job but, she’s not a nurse and she’s not licensed and that really shocked me. Just food for thought.

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 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.

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!

Upper eyes Dr Fagien has changed my life and made me more beautiful than I ever thought I could be. I was very nervous about getting my eyes done and researched all the top surgeons in the States. Finally, I had a consultation with Dr. Fagien and felt assured that I should move forward and get the droopy lids fixed. I can't believe how beautiful my eyes look. The lids and puffiness on the sides were removed. He took the exact measurements pre op and it was a perfect result. I wish I had done it sooner. He's a magician.

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.

The results of their expertise was matched by the Boca Raton Surgical outpatient staff. My expectations were exceeded! Dr. Fagien was recommended by 2 of his patients who were treated by him in the past. Plus! His participation,involvement and leadership in philanthropic commitments are exemplary to what ‘the practice of medicine ‘ should be all about! Thank you.

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!

Dr. Fagien performed bilateral upper and lower blepharoplasty 15 years ago with great results so I returned to have a repeat procedure. He’s a fantastic physician: friendly, caring, honest, technically superb, respectful of his patients and staff, all factors that lead to a calm reassurance of optimal outcome.

“Simply the Best!” I’m pleased to have an opportunity to share my experience with Dr. Steven Faigien. I’m an 81 year old woman who’s had 3 eyelid surgeries in the past. Because of this I was anxious about how I would heal. Dr. Fagien assured me that since I am in good health , there should be no problems. He proceeded to tell me what would be the best result for me. He was absolutely right! I had my surgery a few days ago and am healing quickly and I love the way my eyes look. I would be remiss in sharing my experience with Dr. Fagien if I didn’t mention his wonderful and caring staff. They are always kind and very helpful. Last, but definitely not least, is Dr. Fagien himself. He is very personable and quickly put me at ease. He is easy to talk to and has a great smile and sense of humor. I am truly humbled by his expertise and his caring for his patients. He is “Simply the Best!”

I had an upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagan, and I could not be happier with my experience and results. From my initial consultation through my surgery and follow-up care, Dr. Fagan was professional, kind, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. My results look incredibly natural and refreshed—exactly what I was hoping for. The entire process was smooth, and I truly appreciated the time Dr. Fagan took to answer my questions and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I would highly recommend Dr. Fagan to anyone considering an upper blepharoplasty. I’m so grateful for the care I received and absolutely love my results. Five stars all around!

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.

Dr. Vaca is fantastic! He talked me through my procedure so I felt comfortable with the process. He spent considerable time explaining post op instructions and I look and feel great.

This is the friendliest staff I have been to and I have been to many different offices in New York City and Florida. The doctor is Incredibly talented So much so that I will get on a plane and fly from New York to Boca for his services.

Dr. Vaca is incredibly talented! From my first visit with Dr. Vaca I felt instantly at ease and highly impressed with his knowledge and expertise. His educational background is stellar. I completely trust his recommendations and truly appreciate his honesty and conservative approach. I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Dr. Vaca.

Magic 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!!

Great staff, great results I cannot recommend Dr Fagien highly enough. He explained the procedure and it went exactly as planned. Pain was minimal, a bit of itching from the stitches. I had my upper eyelids done Monday and look quite presentable Friday- the stitches are the only giveaway. Best of all, I look rested, not over-pulled.

Dr Fagien is a fabulous doctor. I can"t say enough about his talents, his kindness and his humor, He took droopy eyes and made them look beautiful again. No more droop. No pain! 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!

Dr Vaca far surpassed my very high expectations and I couldn’t be happier. His support staff are very kind and professional as well, so the overall experience is great. Anyone choosing this practice will truly be pleased.

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.

Best Blepharoplasty Doctor I have been waiting to do my eye surgery for several years. 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. I tell him he has a special gift and I’m grateful that he shares it with us.

I’ve seen Dr Faigen for injectables. You may feel confident in Dr Faigen’s work. His approach is comforting, his work distinguished. He listens and creates a wonderful, natural look. He and his staff’s care and warmth is apparent during the entire experience. I have recommended him to family and friends, which is the greatest compliment.

Dr Fagien is the best! I’ve now seen him for a number of years and he was one of very few physicians in the US who could diagnose and help me with my problem. He’s alway friendly, gentle, and effective. I feel so fortunate that I found him!

Dr 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.

Dr. Fagien- the best plastic surgeon I had a lip filler treatment done with Dr. Fagien two months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I used to have downturned corners of my mouth and very thin lips, but now the corners are lifted, and my lips are fuller, beautifully shaped, and incredibly natural-looking. My facial expressions, speaking, and all movements are as normal as ever.I feel like my face looks more youthful and vibrant, and my self-confidence has significantly increased. Even those around me, who usually don’t approve of cosmetic treatments, have complimented my new lips and said they love how natural they look.Thank you so much, Dr. Fagien for giving me such beautifully shaped lips and a smile that I truly love!

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

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.

A 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!
