The art of beauty

Philosophy

Known for his exceptional face and body transformations, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chet Mays says the most important thing he provides his patients is the power of choice. “As a plastic surgeon delivering first-class concierge care, what matters most is the happiness of my patients,” he explains. The highly-trained, compassionate surgeon has created beautiful, confidence-boosting results for every stage of his patients’ lives. Whether it’s a first time breast augmentation, a post-baby Mommy Makeover, or a midlife facial rejuvenation, he is steadfast in his commitment to being a part of their journeys every step of the way. “I love when my patients share their weight-loss stories, or the significant changes happening in their lives, or that one thing that has always bothered them,” he says. “I take great pride in being the surgeon they’ve chosen to help them look and feel better.” Just one look at his aesthetic transformations shows it’s a responsibility he never takes lightly.

A Minute With

1
MY DREAM INNOVATION
A way to regenerate tissues that are bio-identical to a patient and will not be susceptible to rejection. This would eliminate the need for a donor site or living donors to treat some of the worst injuries and deformities
2
WHAT ARE YOUR MOST REQUESTED PROCEDURES?
The Mommy Makeover with either a breast augmentation (or lift) and a tummy tuck are the most requested. Facial surgeries such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty and facelifts are the second most common. Body sculpting with liposuction and possible fat transfer to the face, breast or buttocks is a close third
3
HOW DO YOU SHOW PATIENTS YOU CARE POST-TREATMENT?
Being available 24-7 via phone and also frequent post-op visits in my office are how I show my long-term commitment to patient care
4
WHAT NEW SERVICES ARE YOU EXCITED TO OFFER?
In the operating room we offer new ways to perform secondary cosmetic breast surgery. I see patients from all over the country who are seeking revision breast surgery. We are learning more and more about capsular contracture and the treatment regimens that will lower the recurrence risk
5
WHAT TREND DO YOU THINK PEOPLE STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND?
Facial cosmetic procedures still give patients some hesitation. Having a surgical result that is visible to everyone can be somewhat nerve racking. The concept of adding volume to the face along with tightening the skin can be very confusing to patients who think there is one magical procedure that gives a perfect result. It’s usually a combination of procedures, like laser skin resurfacing treatments and skin care products that yield the best cosmetic result
6
THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME
Hardworking, athletic, healthy
7
MY MOTTO
Rejoice always!
