Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Regret
Performed an eye procedure under anesthesia that I had not requested nor discussed with before hand. He basically denied having done it and redirected me to a “professional colleague “ who adamantly refused to admit any eye procedure was done whatsoever. He then conveniently left it out of the operative report. S T A Y A W A Y

I came in for a consultation looking for a facelift. I asked Dr Yaremchuk what his wish lift would be for me. He suggested a chin implant as well. I never would have considered both but couldn’t be happier that I did both. I look like me only better!! I love my results and couldn’t be happier.

World class surgeon!! I flew all the way from Australia to see Dr Yaremchuk requesting a full facial transformation Cheek/Chin/Jaw/Rhinoplasty and Midface Lift. I am now 6 months post op and must say the results are truly sensational. A full facial transformation is no easy task but Dr Yaremchuk went above and beyond and succeeded with flying colors. He truly is a master of his craft and one of the best plastic surgeons in the world! I look in the mirror now and I like what I see. Thank you for everything you have done for me Dr Y!

I recently had chin and jaw implants put in with Dr. Yaremchuk to fix a weak jawline and a receding chin. Now 3 weeks post surgery I am very happy with the results. The staff was phenomenal and the results are getting better every day!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Yaremchuk and his staff!! After breaking my nose for a second time this past winter and recently discovering that at the age of 53 that I now had my grandmothers earlobes, I decided I wanted to make a change. I spent a lot of time researching plastic surgeons. Upon meeting Dr Y I was immediately put at ease. I found him to be very knowledgeable , soft spoken and sincere. He simple asked what it was that I did not like about my nose. He then went over what he could do for me. I did consult a couple of other surgeons but none had the credentials or stellar reviews that Dr Yaremchuk has. When it came time for the surgery I decided to let Dr Y give me the nose that he thought would best fit my facial structure.I put my trust in his very capable hands. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome. My earlobes have been reduced to their original size and now my nose is very similar to that of my beautiful daughter. Thank you Dr Yaremchuk so very much!

I came to Dr. Yaremchuk with facial deformities that were the result of poorly performed jaw surgery by another surgeon. It was my good fortune that he is a renowned expert in the area of masseter muscle re-insertion and chin ptosis/lip incompetence. He repositioned my bunched up masseters and stitched them in their proper places, and resuspended my mentalis muscles. He tied his skillful artwork together with a very natural-looking necklift and lower facelift. I am delighted with the results

I am a nurse worked in Boston for 20 years, did the appropriate research, I am one year after a facelift and lower eyelid surgery, I am sorry to report this was the worst decision of my life. My face is permanently disfigured with terrible scars and more wrinkles than I had before the facelift. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Seeking Revision Surgery in Boston MA – Nov 19, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yaremchuk?
I did many procedures at a time wanting a large "overhaul" of my face: rhinoplasty, customized jaw/cheek/chin implants and cheek fat removal. The recovery was painful from so many however I had good care. The results are INCREDIBLE. I'm extremely happy with this surgeon and the care he gave me. He was also the only surgeon who was able to do it when other surgeons insisted that fat grafting or bone cutting was necessary--Yaremchuk was able to do it with customized implants.

I had custom facial implants with another surgeon and they just didn't come out right. After a revision and we still were not "on the same page" I got frustrated and saw Dr. Y. Everything came out beautifully and I wish I had just seen him in the first place and avoided this entire fiasco.

Botched facelift botched blepharoplasty left me disfigured looking worse than before the facelift massive dark scars on my face. Does not listen to the patient, forget everything that was previously discussed, incomplete procedures which I found out after the surgery. No wonder he offers a cost reduction if you pay in green cash, I should've checked with the IRS before having him do surgery on my face. There's no going back now he's ruined me
