Dr. Michael J Yaremchuk

He has taken such good care of my wife. His work is exquisite. His place and his people are elegant. We have come for cosmetic surgery(luxuries) and for injury repairs. There is no one better in Boston

I had a terrible experience with a doctor from Canada that left me with a “witch’s chin”. Dr. Yaremchuk performed revision surgery to correct it. He did a 3-4 hour surgery repairing the muscle and mess that the last surgeon left. The result was a success especially given what he had to work with. I will say that a few people here are complaining about his perceived attitude or bed side manner. If you want someone that is going to sit there and hold your hand maybe go somewhere else and end up with a disfigured face. If you want experience and actual talent I would suggest you go see Dr. Yaremchuk. He is great at what he knows best…surgery.

Dr. Yaremchuk seemed to despise me from the moment he clapped eyes on me. Im not very pretty, but thats why I consulted with him; to improve my looks. He wasnt interested in having me as a patient, he didnt say why and he didnt refer me to anyone else even though I asked him for advice, recommendations.

By default Dr. Yaremchuk became my Dr. after the resident who performed my septoplasty/rhinoplasty surgery relocated to California. I then went into the office to express my concerns several months after the surgery as I was hoping what I was seeing would correct itself and it was all part of the healing process. I had a plan for follow up with Dr. Chang (who performed my surgery) and she ensured me that it was all in the notes and everything of concern would be addressed. When I met with Dr. Yaremchuk and team he was beyond rude, zero bedside manner as I’m crying at the results of my surgery. Somehow my right nostril is now flush whereas my left nostril has its natural curve and I of course want them to symmetrical. Dr. Yaremchuk suggested dermal fillers to correct the problem that I would have to pay for after what I consider a botched rhinoplasty. His suggestion was to take away the natural curves in my nostril to look like the nostril on the right basically making it look like a big block on my face. I reached out to Dr. Chang in California, I was even willing to go to California so she could fix this but she pretended she didn’t hear the suggestion and didn’t address it but gave me the name to another plastic surgeon. I’ve heard from people who work at MGH including OR nurses that he is EXTREMELY difficult and basically wants nothing to do with MGH patients on patients at his private practice. So here I am 4 years later walking around with this mess on my face. It looked better after my accident m! Avoid this man and anyone associated with his practice at MGH or private practice also located in Boston.

The absolute worst experience. After placing implants in my nose, the implants leaking over the years. He clearly aware that my implants leaking, he told me the implant needs to be removed ASAP. Since 7/31/2020 his office schedules the surgical appointment and either the day of or after I have arrived for the procedure they cancel the procedure. the worst practitioner I have ever come across.

This is the worst plastic surgeon. I spent over $12,000 on two surgeries that both came out terrible. Chin and ears. I had to get the chin implant removed because he put in a humongous implant way too big for my face, which was markedly different than the result he showed me that I would have. The otoplasty was a complete waste of money and looks exactly the same post surgery. Please please please do not go to this doctor. Save your money and your face and research better. I beg you. This is legit a scam. I spent all of that with nothing to show for it. He did not show any sympathy or offer any comments or suggestions on his major screwup. This is the worst plastic surgeon.

World class surgeon!! I flew all the way from Australia to see Dr Yaremchuk, requesting a full facial transformation; Custom 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 what I thought was truly possible. Nobody else could have done it.. Dr Yaremchuk did it with flying colors! He is a master of his craft and without a doubt one of the best plastic surgeons in the world! I look in the mirror now and I like what I see and it's all because of Dr Y! Huge Thank You to you and your team for everything you have done for me ! World class surgeon!!

Do you have a weak chin? Despite not being overweight, do you seem to be losing the projection of you chin and jawline with age? Do you have a chin that’s too strong? Dr. Yaremchuk is the best chin implant surgeon (he hand shapes the implant to the best country for your face) and chin shaper in the country, if not the world. He is the most meticulous perfectionist. He has an eye for the most anatomically correct and aesthetic looking chin (without over or under doing it). The initial result may be emotionally traumatic because it is a change your brain needs to adjust too... plus the swelling can take 6 months and up to a year for the final result to take place. You MUST realize this before your proceed and leave it alone after doing so! Do you have a weak chin?

Doctor Michael Yaremchuk knows what needs to be done! His education and talents are great and the results show! Don’t expect to see the final result a few days or a even week after, it takes time couple - few weeks is a realistic time. Dr. Michael Yaremchuk is a great Doctor, he presents great manners and is high in professionalism. If you are considering cosmetics Dr Y is located in the Boston Area I would give his office and staff a call. They’ll take care of you

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.

I Could not be happier with the incredible results after surgery with Dr. Yaremchuk. Had breast implants, and a Brow lift . This was 15 years ago ! To date breasts are still in the same place , firm and look totally natural . My brows the same .. no drooping . Am soon going to return for a mini face lift and feel totally confident the results will be wonderful . He ‘s very caring , thorough , takes his time during consultations. It’s why perhaps others complain about him not being exactly on time . Would rather wait than be rushed ! Can’t say enough good things about my experiences. Highly recommend.

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!

The worst doctor! He has ruined my face by adding unwanted implants without my consent, then lied to me by saying he has removed it while the implants remained. He also caused bells parsley on the right side of my face after mid face lifting.

I have a long, complicated history of plastic surgery (although "complicated" is subjective). So without turning this review into an unabridged novel of endless detail, I'll try to keep things concise and relevant enough. Essentially my entire facial skeletal structure has been crafted "bespoke" by Dr. Yaremchuk over the years. He's used predominantly porous polyethylene (PPE) to augment my posterior/anterior mandible, chin, paranasal, malar, and infraorbital regions. The before photo attached to this review you might notice is already pretty aesthetic and well-balanced. That's because that result was already following lower- and mid-face augmentation with Dr. Yaremchuk (the changes I've listed above). So then you could ask: why did I return for yet another procedure? One's view of ideal aesthetics is obviously subjective (i.e., in this case, chin projection posterior vs anterior to the lower lip, etc.), but I decided to come back to see Dr. Y this time around to have him augment the chin anterior to the lower lip, improve symmetry, and also widen/square-out the chin. He accomplished all three. Really well too. The after result you see here carries increased anterior projection on profile and a more masculinized appearance. Dr. Y's performance in terms of getting the projection to this level has far exceeded my expectations. My hunch is that my current result is actually what most males seeking chin/mandibular augmentation are looking for, but they don't know how to articulate their wants to the surgeon, and/or the surgeon doesn't have the expertise to craft the result. My natural, underlying structure I would conjecture is slightly hypoplastic relative to the population average, so it is impossible for me to effectively convey, via just two photos here, how much aesthetic augmentation I've received from Dr. Y. As I said, the results have exceeded any expectations I had. I should also point out that a somewhat incidental, secondary, positive outcome is I feel my nose is balanced in profile a lot better now. That hadn't been an overt concern of mine prior, but I can assess that the overall convexity of the profile has been reduced slightly, particularly since my brow/supraorbital area is fairly flat (or even slightly feminine) as it is. As I said, I'm aware two photos in isolation don't do justice, but what I can say is from the front and oblique views, my chin is now a lot wider, squarer, and masculinized. It's a solid result. So to recapitulate a little: in terms of surgical skill and experience, Dr. Yaremchuk is pretty much as good as it gets. I can happily put my full weight behind this review to say that I unequivocally recommend him to anyone looking for facial skeletal changes. You can also review his literature contributions online and see that he is the leader in the field. In fact, I doubt anyone out there even comes close. Beyond the surgical elements, his response times, willingness to engage, empathy, and overall bedside manner are great. True intent always shines through, and you can see that he really is in it for the patients - i.e., he's passionate about putting his patients first and taking on difficult cases to get people the result they're looking for. I write this review because of my level of gratitude toward Dr. Yaremchuk. I have a long, complicated history of plastic surgery (although "complicated" is subjective). So without turning this review into an unabridged novel of endless detail, I'll try to keep things concise and relevant enough. … More

Dr Yaremchuk is the best doctor in the world. He listens, he sees and then he fixes your challenges in a way that will exceed all expectations. I will forever be so grateful to Dr. Y.

Talented and ethical. Very gentle and never leaves a mark. Has your best interests in mind and you always have consistent results. Office staff are very friendly.

Each time I showed up for the appointment , I was cancelled.I have obligations to , I have a busy and hectic rehearsing schedule in New York , then I have to work in Boston at the hospital on weekends not to mention not getting enough sleep, I’m exhausted to be told I can’t be seen each time I show up for the appointment was enough for me.A dear of mine who is a doctor recommended a great plastic surgeon to me , I will be getting the help that I try to get from Dr.Yaremchuk .I won’t have to deal with a constant cancellation of appointments.I have no intent to seek treatment of any kind from Dr.Yaremchuks office, People should never judge a book by its cover we all have obligations and are busy to, I feel that if the doctor is to busy to see the patient don’t have the appointment scheduled at all ,refer the patient to someone who has the time to see the patient .

Dr. yaremchuk is a dedicated, thoughtful and highly skilled surgeon. I am delighted with his work and recommend him

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. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................

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.

Disastrous. This surgeon left my face disfigured and people staring at me asking if I was in a car accident This surgeon left my face with massive dark thick scars extending inches around eyes, I am seven months postop and people are still asking me if I was in a car accident or abused. I have never had to wear concealer in my life but now I'm too embarrassed to show my face. This has never been the case before having surgery with the surgeon. I am a nurse in Boston and doctors look at me as if someone is hitting me at home. I have to tell them the truth and tell them who did this to me. dr yaremchuk. Disastrous.

It is an honor and a privilege to be a patient Dr. Yaremchuk. He is in my opinion, one of the top cosmetic/plastic surgeons in the world. I had a face lift, neck lift, and breast lift and the results are spectacular.

Dr. Y did an outstanding job on my face. I had previous facial surgery, with the burring down of a chin which unfortunately had a small golfball like 'knob' of bone on it, which make a improvement but unfortunately left excessive soft tissue which sagged and balled up on my chin. Dr. Y put in a small implant and was able to remove much the excess soft tissue, making a very noticeable improvement. As a new physician myself, I spent a lot of time reading about possible procedures and came across Dr. Y's work, which includes multiple peer reviewed medical articles. He is absolutely a pioneer in the field of facial surgery, and his reputation is well deserved. I have noticed some people criticize that he tends to be conservative with his procedures.... from a cosmetic standpoint, again speaking as a new physician, I can tell you that you WANT a surgeon who makes a conservative approach, but a small one that makes a big difference (a small QUANTITY of difference can make a big QUALITY improvement ).... Otherwise you are very likely to run into complications, including undesirable outcomes, injuries, and deformities that cannot be fixed. Expectations must be realistic, but with realistic expectations, Dr. Y will meet and exceed those. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Dr. Y did an outstanding job on my face.

The pre and post surgery instructions were very clear and all of his staff were easy to work with.

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

Good Job! Great Experience.

Dr. Yaremchuk is the best. If you are nervous about having something small/minor done but think you might want to try it, go to this doctor.

Got refered to Dr Yaremchuk by a relative as I was looking for a specialist of the extra class to do a cosmetic surgery here in Boston. Can only say good things about my experience and the professionalism of the dr and his staff.

I could recommend Dr.Yaremchuk for his experience, expertise, credentials, or affable personality. However, I think Dr.Y really stands out for his ability to imagine what would best suit the patient's face.

I'm happy with the results of the individual procedures, and with how they look together. I highly recommend Dr.Yaremchuk.

My experience with Dr. Yaremchuk has been nothing short of spectacular. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and caring. Their upper facility (reception area) is a beautifully adorned space that feels like home. Take a look at the preserved doors and antique moldings. The lower space is the clinical facility where Dr. Yaremchuk works his magic. It is a beautiful labyrinth of operating rooms, resting rooms and before/after care. The thing that impressed me most, though, was Dr. Yaremchuk's attitude. Always warm, engaging, patient, he feels more like that favorite uncle you haven't seen in years. Most doctors feel distant, somewhat unsympathetic or clinical. I didn't get that at all from Dr. Y. He is engaging and knows what he is talking about. With his breadth of experience (we talked about his huge resume and plethora of innovations and accomplishments) and patient, caring attitude, it's no wonder he is rated the worlds best cosmetic surgeon.

I just had a fantastic experience with Dr. Yaremchuk and I recommend his practice very highly. I had a consult with Dr. Yaremchuk, to see about what he recommended for me in terms of facial rejuvenation using injectable fillers, and he absolutely wowed me with his expertise and friendly, professional manner. I went to see him, assuming that he would probably advise filling in my nasolabial folds and slight marionette lines. On the contrary -- he advised against doing that and instead, after looking at some photos of me when I was younger, suggested otherwise. At my appointment, he injected Radiesse volumizing filler into my cheeks, to fill them out and compensate for my cheek implants that he been surgically applied in the wrong place (too low on my face) by another plastic surgeon. He also used what he told me was a "blunt needle technique," to minimize bruising. Then he injected Belotero Balance to fill in a depression on my nose, and also injected it into my lips, to make my lips fuller. Then Dr. Yaremchuk injected Xeomin on my crow's feet by my eyes and also on my forehead, to decrease the wrinkles. I had minimal bruising, no pain, and very slight swelling -- but after three days my husband tells me I'm a knockout. I absolutely intend to visit Dr. Yaremchuk soon for a plastic surgery consult, and I recommend his work and professionalism -- and impressive expertise -- with enthusiasm. He is a Boston plastic surgeon of the highest caliber, and if you visit his website you can read all about his body of work, which includes writing three plastic surgery textbooks. Along with all of his distinguished credentials, Dr. Yaremchuk is a clinical professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School, and chief of cranio-facial surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. With a cv like that, don't bother seeing another cosmetic plastic surgeon in Boston -- Dr. Yaremchuk is the go-to-guy, in my opinion.
