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.

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

A L30 July 2023I 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!Posted on Google

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. 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 HealthgradesTatyana Nudel20 January 2024masterful 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!Posted on Google
Maria Victoria Tomic29 September 2020My experience with Dr. Vaca was one to rave about! I was nervous to get Botox for the first time, but he was incredibly professional, patient and experienced. His bedside manner is informative yet calming. Also, his academic and professional accolades pretty much speak for themselves. I highly recommend using him!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades 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 Google
Melanie Wantuck19 September 2020I have been a nurse at Northwestern Hospital for over 20 years, so I have seen many doctors come and go. I work in the PACU and recover patients after various surgeries. Plastic surgery is one of them. So about 2 years ago there is all this talk about this guy in plastics who is a true “prodigy”.... of course my curiosity got the best of me and I started asking around. Elbert Vaca...Dr. Elbert Vaca... the best surgeon anyone has come across in a very long time.... ( this talk is coming from well known (experienced) surgeons ) ... Over the next 2 years, I was able to recover Dr. Vaca’s patients after various types of plastic surgeries. And the results were dumbfounding....he was Incredible .....his results impeccable...honestly, “perfection” in its truest form... I have Personally seen him for Botox and filler.... his work is amazing. *People look like a better version of themselves, not fake or unrecognizable.* I am 48 years old and will travel to Florida to see Dr.Vaca when the time comes for me to get my face and neck lift... this will also include my upper and lower eyes. He is going to do some fat transfer into my faces as well.. ( Trend alert: this is the new filler ladies!!!).......... I want the world to know about Dr. Vaca because he is so gifted. This is an example of where “years of experience” need not be considered... he is a prodigy. He was born to do this and if you go to him... your life will change! I no longer have a fear of aging..... as long as he is around! That is also a gift.Posted on Google

Maia Pinzur7 August 2024Dr. 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!!Posted on Google
