Megan E McNally22 January 20255 stars is not enough for Dr. Vaca. I found him by way of Dr. Fagien but needed more than an upper bleph (brow lift also) so went with Dr. Vaca. From the moment I met him in my consult I just thought he was so kind and knowledgeable. I felt safe with him and his work on Instagram was just beautiful. He kept nailing the brow lift and upper blephs and most importantly each woman just looked so natural like they didn’t have anything done. I had my surgery last week and have felt so well cared for. My results are so beautiful! I still feel like me! My dermatologist here in Miami asked for all of his info bc she couldn’t believe how beautiful it looks. Who knows what plastic surgery I will consider in the future as but if I do I know that I will trust Dr. Vaca. He’s a star!!!Posted on Google
Judi Nelson10 February 2021I 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.

Kelly V.10 June 2023Highly recommend Dr. Fagien! He is the best!! The past couple years, I’ve been researching which doctor to perform my upper and lower blepharoplasty. After several consults with doctors in Beverly Hills, I was referred to Dr. Fagien, from my cosmetic dermatologist, in Miami. After meeting Dr. Fagien and his staff, I knew he was the right one. The results are beyond my expectation! From start to finish, my experience was positive and I would highly recommend Dr. Fagien and his team. Thank you for everything!!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 Google

Healthgrades 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!Posted on HealthgradesJoanna9 December 2020The 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.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User2 November 2019If you want/need your eyes done in any matter, look no further.

YUP, He’s the best’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 Healthgrades

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!”Posted on Google

elena stuart17 June 2026I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien eight weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I had no bruising at all, and my eyes look refreshed and completely natural. Dr. Fagien was thorough, honest, and reassuring throughout the entire process, and one thing that truly sets his practice apart is that when you call the office, you actually reach a real person right away..no voicemail runaround or waiting days for a response like most places nowadays.

Denise Cody9 September 2025I 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.

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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User17 August 2019Dr. 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!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

It was very important to me that I retain the natural shape of my eyes, and I wanted an effective, yet conservative, approach. Dr. Vaca listened attentively and took time to walk me through exactly what to expect during and after the procedure. I felt safe and assured that I was in capable hands. His entire team is friendly and competent. I am incredibly pleased with the results. Someone I know recently said, “I don’t know what you’re doing differently, but you look younger.” Perfect! That is exactly what I was going for. Sending a huge thank you to Dr. Vaca and his wonderful team!Posted 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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User20 August 2025Exceptional 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.Posted on Google

After breast feeding my children and dealing with asymmetrical breasts my whole life, I set out to find a surgeon to help me feel revitalized. I interviewed many but Dr. Vaca checked all the boxes. He has an elite academic pedigree. He carries himself with a reassuring confidence yet is somehow approachable and nice. I could go on but the results speak for themselves. The meticulous attention to detail in his plan and execution is superb. The size, positioning and symmetry between my breasts couldn't be more perfect. Dr. Vaca is a true artist and gentleman and I recommend him without hesitation.Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User12 July 2018Comfortable environment for thorough conversation with all concerns addressed.

David Goldman23 August 2026I write this review as a dermatologist and Mohs micrographic skin cancer surgeon with 42 years of clinical experience in general, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. I have also reconstructed numerous facial wounds after removing complex skin cancers on many of my patients’ faces. With my experience, I have a full appreciation for the complexity of eyelid surgery. I have referred numerous patients for ocular plastic surgery during my career. 18 years ago, I had disappointing cosmetic eyelid surgery that ultimately left me uncomfortable and disfigured. I consulted with three other ocular plastic surgeons who recommended that I do nothing and simply live with the result. I heard Dr. Fagien speak at a cosmetic surgery meeting, where he addressed the particular problem that I had. In that presentation, he spoke about the techniques he had developed to reconnect the outside parts of eyelids to the surrounding bone. I was relieved to know that someone would be able to correct my problematic previous result. I met with Dr. Fagan at which time we discussed my concerns. All of my questions were answered with compassion and respect. In my case, the lack of eyelid support by the orbital bone and excessive surrounding skin created unnatural webbing, narrowing of the opening of my eyes and discomfort from displaced and ingrowing eyelashes. The procedure that Dr. Fagien performed, known as lateral canthoplasty with retinacular suspension, enabled correction of the discomfort and disfiguring changes that had developed. I could not be more grateful or happier! And I think I look a few years younger, but all of my friends and family say I look at least 10 to 20 years younger, especially since Dr. Fagien removed those pesky bags under my eyes, as well🤩! Dr. Fagien carries world renowned stature for his skills, innovations, publications and kindness. I would trust him with any of my patients, family members or friends. In addition, Dr. Fagien and his staffs’ professionalism and attention to detail are unparalleled!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 User21 February 2019I just had my eye surgery done by Dr.Fagien and I cant say enough wonderful things about him and his office staff. My surgery went wonderful and the follow up with the office staff was something I never experienced . I cant say enough wonderful things about him.Posted on HealthgradesMV1 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

Judith Fernandez14 May 2022Still 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!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 HealthgradesTodd17 January 2023Excellent Eyelid Surgeon Dr Fagien is an excellent eye surgeon! Every step of the process was perfect. Anytime I had a question or issue, I was able to see Dr Fagien or his amazing staff quickly and the office was always helpful and kind. My results were also fantastic. I would highly reccommend Dr Fagien and his office to anyone thinking about having eyelid or other eye plastic surgery.Posted on Google

Alexandra Vanella15 April 2021I had the best experience thanks to Dr. Vaca. We did an in-office chin lipo procedure in January 2021. I’m still seeing results everyday. It was extremely quick & easy. I couldn’t be happier with the results!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User15 October 2021I 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.Posted on HealthgradesPeg Anderson26 November 2021Dr.Vaca’s expertise can’t be overstated. His in-depth knowledge and training at the best hospitals with the finest professionals is outstanding. I’m beyond happy with the results of my procedures and highly recommend Dr. VacaPosted on Google
Ellen Fleisher18 December 2025✨Great Doctor ✨Great Office ✨Great Staff ✨Great Care ✨Great ResultsPosted 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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User9 May 2022THE BEST Everything he did was top notch! His bedside manner is behind compare & the staff as well. Would highly recommend him for any type of cosmetic surgery.Posted on Google
