I had a face and neck lift 12 weeks ago with Dr. Vaca, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was calm, professional, and a true perfectionist — but in the best way possible. His approach is meticulous yet subtle, delivering a natural, balanced outcome that miraculously looks completely real. Everyone tells me I look fresh and younger because the past few years approaching 50 I began quickly developing pre-mature "creppy" sagging skin on my cheeks,

I would encourage anyone seeking attention to detail, perfectionism and tact to see Dr. Vaca
I would encourage anyone seeking attention to detail, perfectionism and tact to see Dr. Vaca. The process from beginning to end was smooth, at ease, well informed and last but most importantly exquisitely executed. I’ll continue to visit his practice and refer him to anyone I know.
THE BEST - Cannot Rave Enough About How Great of an Experience I Had
I do not often leave reviews, but my 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!
Excellent bedside manner and stellar results!
I've been self-conscious about my smile lines and under-eye folds for years. I've tried several eye creams, chemical peels, and lasers, but the results were less than stellar. After some research, I decided to try fillers and a friend of mine recommended Dr. Vaca. During our consultation, Dr. Vaca took the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explain the procedure and process. His calm demeanor, knowledge, and confidence put me at ease. The results were fantastic and
Brilliance Defined
I have been a nurse at Northwestern Hospital for over 20 years. Northwestern is a teaching hospital -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 doing his fellowship 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
I was very nervous to have this done but Dr. Vaca's results were very natural looking
I have been going to Dr. Vaca for about a year for botox. I was very nervous to have this done but Dr. Vaca's results were very natural looking. I have recommended my closest friends and family to him but would also recommend him to anyone interested in this procedure. He is great!
Dr. Vaca is wonderful
Dr. Vaca is wonderful. He performed my abdominal surgery. Dr Vaca is very professional yet also relaxed and easy to talk to. I felt he fully explained the surgery and what I could expect. He answered any and all questions I tendered and I always felt he listened carefully and ensured I understood. Most importantly my after surgery concerns were also addressed. He returned calls immediately and again responded to any questions. He is consistently pleasant and I never felt
Dr. Vaca: THE GREATEST
My 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

Outstanding Results and Excellent Overall Experience!
I had the best experience under Dr. Vaca's care. I had a mommy makeover (that consists of a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty and a breast lift or mastopexy) with a little lipo for contouring. I am beyond delighted with my results and wish I had it done 15 years ago! My scars are beautiful and healing well. My pain was minimal, and I was back at the gym lifting heavy weights at 7 weeks post-op. Dr. Vaca is an incredible, compassionate, professional, and extremely skilled surgeon. He
Exceptional Doctor
Dr. Vaca is truly exceptional. He is patient, detail oriented and has a great bedside manner. You can tell that he is passionate about what he does and is committed to giving you the very best result. He creates a plan specifically designed for you in order to give you the results you desire. I would highly recommend him to anybody and everybody - especially first timers as he takes his time and explains what he's doing.
