Dr. Vaca and his team are so amazing!! I received a rhinoplasty and chin implant and couldn’t be happier! I healed so well and was checked up on multiple times during recovery. Dr. Vaca understood my wants and concerns with the surgery and was with me every step of the way. My results have truly changed my life and I’m so happy with my decision choosing Dr. Vaca. I felt very secure because he is confident in himself, which was a very important aspect when ultimately deciding which doctor I wanted to move forward with. I am 2 months post op and could not have asked for better results. I received exactly what I asked for and am over the moon! A big thank you to Dr. Vaca and his team!!

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.

Nine years ago, I had a consultation with Dr. Fagien . Over the years, I’ve seen him for fillers and Botox with great results. No one ever knows that I’ve had anything done. He believes you should just look as if you’ve been on vacation and you do. In July, I finally had the time for the surgery. The results are outstanding. Dr. Fagien is not only an extraordinary surgeon, he is meticulous and precise in everything that he does and that is clearly reflected in the results he obtains. He has such a wonderful bedside manner and the temperature in the room goes down a notch just when he enters. He is kind and generous with his time and will explain anything you ask about what he is doing and why. He has a very detailed protocol pre-and post surgery that produces the very best of results if you follow it. His staff is outstanding as well, welcoming and kind, very knowledgeable about what they are doing, which obviously comes from him and from being around him. There are really no adequate words to describe how fabulous I feel and how great I look, thanks to Dr. Fagien, and there is no one else I would trust but him.

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.

Another 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.

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!

After thoroughly investigating Doctor Faigen, I learned he’s a master, & gained such respect. When I personally sat down & consulted w/ Dr Fagien, my hopes were better than expected. He’s board certified, beyond educated, an educator, he advances medicine & his peers applaud his findings & study under him. Beyond his aesthetic eye & skilled hands, he’s cool, funny, makes you at ease & THATS totally unexpected. He’s not pushy, but gracious w/ your time, & very personable. His staff loves him. When I mention his name to other Dr’s there is such respect. He’s such a valuable human being, in medicine & to me now. My only regret was that I waited so long to meet him.

Dr Vaca is patient, thorough and meticulous in his work. I had asked to “backfill” the volume that I had lost over the years in my lips. He listened to what I wanted and gave valuable suggestions. He then allowed me the time to make my decision and I am more than pleased with my results.

He is deeply knowledgeable and has a winning personality. I am pleased that a doctor of his caliber was available for my needs.

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.

Rhinoplasty 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!

I had a procedure with him, and the results exceeded my expectations—I only wish I had found him sooner! His skill, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched, and I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. Beyond his expertise, his staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, making every step seamless and stress-free. I've already recommended Dr. Vaca to so many people in my network, and I will continue to do so without hesitation. He's an artist :) :) 10/10

Dr. Steven Fagien is a genius Dr. Steven Fagien is a genius and a super talented surgeon. He is in a league of his own. He dedicate the time to perfect every surgery. He listens, cares, and has an innate ability to understand understand every patient’s wish, and turns those wishes into a reality. I recently underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty. I am a perfectionist, and even I am amazed at how this master surgeon opened up my eyes to look 10 to 15 years younger in a most natural way. Dr. Fagien, is very kind and compassionate. Is it any wonder that his office staff are caring unprofessional? They handled all my needs, including following through all medication refills. My eyes were blessed with Dr. Steven Fagan‘s hands.

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.

Not only am I happy with the results, but the process in general was so easy. The day of the procedure Dr. Fagien and nurses gave me much peace and expectations. Surely weeks later I can testify of a wonderful experience. I thank God for allowing me to meet such wonderful Doctor. I would highly recommend his services. So if your looking for a truly professional and excellent facial plastic surgeon Dr Fagien is your answer. Worth every penny. Jen

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!

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. 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. :)

Amazing is an understatement …… Dr. Fagien is one of those people from the start knows what is best for you and then explains the process to get there - imagine in healthcare in 2023 a doctor who cares? Well you don’t need to look further because not only does he care he cares deeply and so does his wonderful, kind, gentle and loving staff. I am just so happy with my procedure, came out of state and the process was made so very simple for me to understand and Trust. Don’t even consider anyone else and I have said the same to my sister who commentates on TV - when or if you want to have your eyes reviewed or surgery performed you are in the right hands - I have never seen such talent (if ever). Thank you sounds like not enough to Dr. Fagien and his staff!!!!!

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!

I would highly recommend Dr Vaca! Great bedside manner making you feel comfortable and confident you have made the right decision. He is a true artist. The results are better than I expected. Life changing. Never having anything like this done before, choosing the right doctor is everything. I made the right choice.

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.

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”.

This is the best team of medical staff I have ever had. I was truly impressed with the facility and the caring staff. I received the best possible treatment and owe my life to Dr. Fagien. I had a reaction one weekend while he was out of town and he still retuned my call within a very short time. He is so knowledgeable and was able to identify and resolve the problem. I felt so safe and knew I was in good hands. I could not have asked for any better care. Dr. Fagien and his staff are exceptional.

I did my due diligence picking Dr Fagien and did he delver! Hands down THE best surgeon, very meticulous and detail oriented. Very particular and deliberate with his approach, pre-op instructions, surgical facility and anesthesiologists, his surgical technique is superb ( I am a doctor I know). My eyes look amazing! Today is less than 24 hours. No pain, virtually no swelling, no blood at all, no crusting. Have not taken single pain killer. I waited for this procedure with Dr Fagian for 2 years and it was totally worth it! I wish more surgeons would be like him. Totally a class act and bed side manner is so warm and professional. Better schedule your consult ASAP. I promise you will not need sorry

Dr. Fagien saved me a lot of money because he was very honest, he did not try to make money, he tried to help. He found out that I only have to go to a dermatologist and gave me a referral. Thank you very much.

Dr. 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.

Dr. Vaca not only is a very skilled surgeon but also considerate and kind. He explained in detail his recommendations for my eyebrow lift and provided multiple opportunities for questions, even on the day of the procedure. I felt very comfortable with him, his surgical team and office staff and am extremely pleased my outcome! He and Dr. Fagien are my dream team!

Dr. Fagien is one of the most ethical plastic surgeons I have ever met. I would highly recommend him. 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.

Excellence Having done some research and a few consultations, I chose Dr Vaca for my upper blepharoplasty. 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.

The 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 !!

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 Fagien did a beautiful job on my surgery. It’s been 5 weeks and everyday my eyes look better. I cannot wait to see the final results in the next few weeks. The surgery was virtually painless. You can expect a few bumps along the way, but it is well worth it.

Dr. Fagien performed upper and lower eye lid surgery on me and I am very pleased with the results. I look 10 years younger. It has definitely boosted my confidence. Dr. Fagien is very detail oriented and precise in his approach. You can’t even tell that I had surgery. You can tell that Dr. Fagien loves what he does because it shows in his workmanship. His team is just as dedicated as he his. They were all so kind and very helpful. I would without hesitation do this all over again with Dr. Fagien and his team. Hats off to you all! 👏🏽👏🏽

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.
