Chet Mays, MD

After consulting with several plastic surgeons, I immediately knew that Dr. Mays was the right choice.
From our very first meeting, I felt an overwhelming sense of trust and ease — something I had not experienced elsewhere.
Leading up to surgery, I had complete peace of mind knowing I was in the hands of someone who approaches both his craft and his patients with extraordinary care and precision.
What began as a journey to address significant abdominal issues due to diastasis recti became an opportunity to achieve outcomes beyond what I believed possible.
Dr. Mays is exceptionally skilled, deeply attentive, and genuinely committed to delivering excellence.
His ability to listen, to truly see and understand concerns, and to treat every patient with individualized care is rare.
He takes immense pride in his work — and in my case, delivered perfection in the OR.
I deeply respect and admire his dedication, his artistry, and the way he makes every patient feel valued and safe.
I am forever grateful for the trust and confidence he inspired from start to finish.
Working with him has been one of the most profoundly positive decisions I have ever made.

Dr. Mays and his team have gone above and beyond for me. I had a small procedure on my face done, and afterwards he did everything he could to make it better. I really appreciate his kindness and knowledge, as well as him taking time to get to know my family and I! I would highly recommend him to anyone who his looking to have a minor or major surgery because he is the BEST!

Dr. Mays and staff are amazing! I was very nervous as I was unsure what to expect. They were very welcoming and took the time to understand/hear my needs. This was my first experience with plastic service and I can honestly say Dr. Mays has changed my life. Hands down the best and would recommend him/staff to anyone! Thank you again.

I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Mays and I am so happy with my results. I’m confident he truly is the best plastic surgeon in Louisville. What really stood out to me during my consultations was how he listened to what I wanted and gave suggestions on how to get there. I felt empowered and understood throughout the entire process. Surgery day was a breeze and recovery was easier than I could have imagined with clear and easy to follow instructions. I always have felt taken care of whenever I’m in the office. I look forward to using Dr. Mays and his team for any additional cosmetic procedures!

Best plastic surgeon in Louisville KY! Indeed! Dr mays is a combination of knowledge and kindness. He really cares about what he does and the patient in front of him! I love the ways he treated us and the results are amazing !!!!

Dr. Mays is one of best doctors I’ve ever met. He listens to what his patients wants and explains everything that they understand what the outcome will be. I was so nervous about going to his office and now I’m always at ease and I credit that to him and his amazing office staff. They truly are the nicest people ever. I’ve recommended everyone I know who is looking for plastic surgery or even Botox to Dr. Mays office.

Dr. Mays was fantastic. He took time to answer all my questions and make me feel confident in my decisions and the process. I could not be happier with my decision, he helped me get the results I have always wanted! Can’t recommend Dr. Mays enough!

Dr. Mays and his stanmff are great. I recently had a breast augmentation/revision and a lip lift procedure done. I am about 4 weeks post op and overall I am really pleased with my results. Upon my consultation, I let Dr. Mays know what I disliked about my first BA performed by a different surgeon. I showed him a picutre of what I'd like my revision to look like and he was able to make a recommendation on how to get me the look I desired. My revision has given me the results I wanted. The lip lift procedure also turned out great. Recovery was easy and the scarring, which I was mildly concerned about, is VERY minimal. I am glad that I made the decision to trust Dr. Mays and his staff with my procedures.

I had the best experience with Dr. Mays during my consultation. His staff is amazing and friendly and you can feel the “team” atmosphere as soon as enter. These people are here to help you achieve your goals.

In my consultation I ended up having 2 options for treatment (one surgical and one not). Dr. Mays explained in detail what each entailed and left me with the choice of paths to take without an ounce of pressure to choose one over the other.

I opted that day for the immediate, non surgical “liquid rhinoplasty” to gage what a surgery may look like in the future. He performed the procedure with expert knowledge and confidence, explaining each part as he was correcting. I knew prior to my appointment that this is a procedure that can be risky and should only be performed by trained professionals. His demeanor and vast knowledge put me at ease and made me feel confident in my choice.

And I’m amazed at how great it looks and how much of a difference it made. I have received so many compliments AND people still don’t know I’ve had anything done. My husband hasn’t even questioned it but complimented me this very week.

I know I will be coming back for my surgery and that it will definitely be with Dr. Mays. And for anything needed in my future.

I can highly recommend Dr Mays. He performed a breast reduction in 2018 for me. I have been so pleased with the results. Any scarring I had has faded nicely and no nipple sensation was lost. In fact before the reduction I had a biopsy years before that left no feeling in my right breast. That was totally restored after the breast reduction Dr Mays performed..He was very kind and made me feel very comfortable. I will be contacting him again in the future when my eyelids affect my vision. Thank you Dr Mays!
