Healthgrades User11 September 2025Dr. Vaca If you are reading this review, chances are you are searching for a qualified cosmetic surgeon. My search began in January of 2025. I live in Coral Gables, FL and had full consultations with three highly recommended surgeons within a few miles of my home. While I was certain that all of these doctors could satisfactorily get the job done, I left each consultation feeling like something was missing. I simply could not make a decision. My continued research led me to Dr. Vaca in Boca Raton and after reading his credentials and reviews, I scheduled a consultation. At the end of this lengthy, informative, enjoyable meeting I knew that my search was finally over. I had found my surgeon and my indecision was replaced with certainty and excitement. I have now experienced two surgeries with Dr. Vaca and I am very happy! Everyone who works with him is professional and supportive. If you are searching for a cosmetic surgeon, schedule a consultation with Dr. Vaca…find what you have been missing.Posted on Healthgrades
Healthgrades User21 July 2020I had a virtual appointment with Dr. Fagien and really appreciated his assessment of what I needed and didn’t need. If I decide to have the eye surgery this is definitely the doctor I will do it with.Posted on Google

Fantastic office experience! After my first visit everyone in the office new my name and made me feel welcome. Dr. Vaca spent time explaining his recommendations and procedures thoroughly and answered the many questions that I had. One week out, without ever having any pain or discomfort, albeit swelling and some bruising I can already see my amazing results.Posted on Google

Mary Daniels17 December 2021I have been seeing Dr. Fagien for approximately 12 years for fillers. He has helped me avoid the deep Marionette lines around my mouth area. Dr. Fagien graciously listens to my woes about NOT wanting to go through surgery and, in my opinion, helps me maintain a natural appearance.Posted on Google

Joyce C.4 June 2023The BEST I had eyelid surgery in March and cannot be more pleased with the results! Dr. Fagien is simply the BEST and his staff is wonderful. I am so glad that I trusted my eyes to Dr. Fagien - he is truly an artist extraordinaire who gave me the natural look that I desired. He has a wonderful and caring personality as well, and he and his amazing team including Dani, Devina, Victoria, and Hannah (apologies if I am missing anyone) “held my hand” the entire journey and answered any and all questions, anytime that I asked. The surgery and recovery was exactly as explained with minimal discomfort. Even two weeks after the surgery I was hearing “you look great” and “were you on vacation?” from people and co-workers who didn’t know I had my eyelids done. 10 weeks after surgery, I am thrilled and the results will only keep improving as I heal completely. Thank you, Dr. Fagien and team - truly love the way I look and appreciate the excellent care that I received !!Posted on Google
Michelle haddock22 June 2020I was a patient of Dr. Fagien several years ago and was extremely pleased with the results of my surgery. Recently I had filler under my eyes from a different physician to help conceal my under eye circles. I was not happy with the result. The filler made my eyes look puffy underneath and more black under my eyes. I waited 7 months for the filler to dissolve but it didn’t. I decided to see Dr. Fagien because I know this is his area of expertise. He advised me to go back to the original Dr. which I did but with no resolution. I explained I was concerned it may get worse. He told me he would take care of it but I shouldn’t waste my money over a mistake. I went to the original Dr. and it has been progressively getting better. I really appreciate Dr. Fagien being so ethical. I was ready to pay him and he said I should go back. Not many Drs. would do that! Also, I am not upset with the Dr. who made the mistake. Any surgery or fillers have room for error.Posted on Google
K G9 September 2020In June 2020 Dr. Vaca performed a facelift using the SMAS technique. From the first day we met, during many emails and phone calls, day of surgery, post-op visits and again, many calls and emails, Dr. Vaca was informative, caring and patient. Dr. Vaca is very detailed and made sure that I fully understood everything regarding my health and procedure. Every question was answered. I am thrilled with the outcome and happy to speak to anyone who still has questions about Dr. Vaca.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.

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.

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.

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

I look so much younger, my eyebrows look amazing and one can actually see my (pretty) eyes now. The recovery was simple, and the procedure painless. I would do it again in a second !

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 User22 December 2025Lower face neck lift Utmost professionalism. Delivered exactly what was promised.

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

I would highly reccommend Dr Fagien and his office to anyone thinking about having eyelid or other eye plastic surgery.Posted 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!Posted on Google

When travel became impractical, I searched for a local Physician for my cosmetic care. My first appointment with Dr. Vaca put my anxiety at ease.

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 Google
martha sanchez10 August 2018Dr Fagien is very knowledgeable and honest.

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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User8 July 2023Wish more doctors were like Dr. Vaca In an age of acceleration and rush, Dr. Vaca stands alone with his uncommon patience, sincere kindness and genuine care. He explains procedures thoroughly and his clinical skills are extraordinary. As a highly discerning patient, I can’t recommend Dr. Vaca highly enough.Posted on Google
Dr Bret Ribotsky20 June 2019As a surgeon in this area - nothing is as important as my health. Dr Fagien is a doctor that other doctors count on. What he does and says is what it is. We’re lucky to have him in our communityPosted on Google
Cindy Grafman31 October 2018The BEST !!!!! I wouldn't let anyone BUT Dr. Fagien touch me.. ! He's gentle, kind & treats his staff like family.. He "listens" to what & how you want a procedure unlike so many other plastic surgeon's.... Staff is very professional & caring ... I highly recommend Dr.Steven Fagien for any procedure... That is how he gets his impeccable reputation....Posted on HealthgradesBeth Johnston in Lantana, FL24 August 2019Dr. Fagien did an excellent job on my eyelid lift. He and his staff are professional and courteous. I highly recommend his services.Posted on Google
pamela rosen7 August 2022As a plastic surgeon I knew exactly who to trust for my recent eyelid surgery. Dr Fagien is a talented, skillful and detail-oriented surgeon who did a beautiful blepharoplasty for me. 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".Posted on HealthgradesLinda in Fort Lauderdale, FL30 January 2019Absolutely the best.Posted on Google
Azul Iglesias3 March 2026From the very first consultation, I knew I was in the right place. Instead of pointing out flaws like many surgeons do, he asked me one simple and powerful question, “What bothers you when you look in the mirror?” That approach alone speaks volumes about who he is. He promotes beauty in a healthy and balanced way, rooted in confidence and self acceptance, not insecurity. His team is exceptional. Every detail, every visit, and every interaction made me feel cared for and respected. I felt amazing from day one through every follow up appointment. The procedure itself was fast and smooth, something I had wanted to do for a long time, and I truly felt I was in the best hands possible. What impacted me the most happened after surgery. Over the weekend, I noticed a small tear mixed with blood and got really scared. I called the office and within ten minutes he personally called me back. Not an assistant. The doctor himself. On a weekend. That level of humanity is rare. He explained calmly what was happening and what to expect next, and everything unfolded exactly as he said it would. That gave me so much peace. He is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon, he is human, compassionate, and deeply committed to his patients. He makes you feel safe, respected, and truly taken care of. I recommend him one million times over. 🤍Posted on HealthgradesJanet5 June 2021Very professional. Took their time explaining everything, friendly, didn't have to wait. Would definitely recommend family & friends.Posted on Google
Spring Wieder5 April 2018Incredibly impressed with my botox injections. This is the first time my crows feet have been injected and I can still smile naturally. My forehead looks amazing yet no one has said “oh you just had Botox” because it looks so great!!! Plus I added filler this time around and the results are so natural I can’t even believe it’s in there unless I look at the before photo and see wrinkles/lines that are now gone!!!!Posted on Google
Joanns Shore12 December 2020Dr Fagien is a magician. The results of my upper eye surgery succeeded my expectations, I’m beyond happy with my eyes. The whole experience was comforting and inspired confidence, and delivered! The staff is knowledgeable, warm and kind and appointments quick and to the point. Thank you!Posted on Google
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
Courtney DuBois30 July 2021I recently had an ear lobe repair done by Dr. Vaca and it was an incredibly easy and painless experience. Dr. Vaca was caring, detailed in his explanations and his work was excellent. I am extremely happy with the entire experience. The outcome was better than I expected! I would highly recommend this office and doctor.
