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 Healthgrades
Lisa Keeler7 February 2022Upper 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.Posted on Healthgrades

Tatyana 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
Linda Wolf12 December 2021I've had some Botox for around my eye area and deep wrinkles on my nose close to my forehead area and fillers for deep lines in my lip area and cheeks as well and a shot of botox in my jaw area for grinding teeth at night this is not necessarily aesthetic. Its been about a week and I am taking double takes when I walk by mirror. My eye liner stays where I put it and I have cheekbones and my mouth is pouting. I'm 72 next week. He's that good!!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 Google
Gina Berlin25 August 2026Dr. Fagien is the best eye surgeon hands down! My whole experience from start to finish was exceptional.

B P30 December 2021I 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.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 HealthgradesHealthgrades User15 June 2023Most definitely would recommend On consultation, Dr Fagien suggested a different path than I had thought to achieve the results I wanted. He was exactly right. He’s a real expert in cosmetic eye surgery.

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 Google
C V25 August 2025Blepharoplasty with Dr. Fagien: A Review I recently had a blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Fagien, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Before the procedure, I had very hooded eyelids, but now I have a visible eyelid—a change so subtle and natural that I don't even feel the need to wear makeup anymore. The results are incredibly refreshing, making me look more awake and like the best version of myself. From the very first consultation to the final follow-ups, Dr. Fagien's kindness and care were exceptional. He is a true perfectionist with an incredible eye for even the smallest detail, which put me completely at ease. He genuinely cares about his patients' comfort and outcomes, and his surgical skill is second to none. I was also impressed by his specific post-operative care protocol, which I followed precisely. My recovery was surprisingly easy, with no pain, no bruising, and only mild swelling for about a week. Within a few days, most people had no idea I had even had surgery! The entire experience far exceeded my expectations. I am so grateful to Dr. Fagien for his precision, surgical skill, and genuine kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone considering eyelid surgery.Posted on HealthgradesBP30 December 2021I am one of the most qualified patients to recommend Dr. Elbert Vaca, as I had multiple surgeries with him in 2021.

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.

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

Kendal & Sasha26 July 2021Dr. 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.Posted on Google

He is the only one I trust for eye cosmetic surgery. On my last visit, I was concerned about having Botox and the Covid vaccine. He sat down, explained everything in detail and I felt very comfortable with going ahead with Botox. His office is immaculate and his staff is professional. Davina is especially kind and friendly!Posted on Google
Lauren Posner22 December 2023My sister and I both had a lower blepharoplasty done and everything about our experience, from the appointments to the surgical procedure, was amazing. Dr. Fagien and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best care and results. You can tell everyone there truly cares about their patients. Highly recommended! We're still recovering from the procedure, but we're already so happy with the results!Posted on Google
elizabeth mastro18 February 2021Dr Fagien is by far the most talented surgeon I have seen. Not only does he have an artists eye he has an artists hands with surgeon skills. Dr Fagien strives for and achieves natural results which enhance beauty and restore a youthful appearance. The staff is also compassionate and knowledgeable. Overall my experience has been extremely positive and I look forward to continuing care with Dr Fagien.Posted on Google

Josie Murray13 May 2022Honestly 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.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
Ariel Williams2 July 2025Went to Dr. Vaca for a deviated septum and rhinoplasty. He has a reputation for being extremely detail oriented and knowledgeable. I am only about 3 weeks out, but for the first time I am waking up feeling well rested! My nose already looks amazing and finally fits my face. I know my case was not the easiest and I am so thankful I chose him! Highly recommend!Posted on HealthgradesHealthgrades User18 October 2021Wonderful experience and very happy with the results. Customer service was 5 stars!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. The eyes came out great. 9 days post surgery now and I am thrilled. Dr. Fagien also repaired a botched eyelid surgery my husband had. He is the best. Highly recommend!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 HealthgradesMarcy Busch4 July 2022I have been going to Dr. Fagien for almost 10 years now.., the best physician and office staff in South Florida..... love him and his staff ??Posted on Google
Irene Zingg11 February 2022Dr Fagien is simply the best eyelid surgeon out there. Do yourself a favor and save time by going straight to him. I saw two other popular plastic surgeons before I met him, and I was just not impressed with either one. I had the bar set very high though, since I worked with a famous plastic surgeon in my other life. Yet as soon as I met Dr Fagien and saw his work, I knew he was the one! So much so, that I barely asked him any questions, I just scheduled my surgery. Three weeks after my surgery, I went to a wedding and no one noticed I had surgery, but people kept telling me how great I looked. It’s been four months now and I absolutely love the results! My eyes look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier. His entire staff is wonderful. The outpatient facility is wonderful! The anesthesiologist was super nice. The recovery was a breeze. I would only suggest that you don’t see yourself in the mirror until the day your stitches come out😊 Dr Fagien is an amazing doctor and a wonderful human being. Caring, professional, super nice, and even funny. Absolutely nothing needs improvement in his practice. Irene Zingg
