We strive to provide as individualized medical & surgical care as possible. We want to get to know each patient as a person first, then listen and recommend treatment options in a collaborative manner. Patients actively participate in their care. We focus on a conservative ‘less is often more’ approach rather than recommending excessive procedures. Natural looking is best. We treat each patient as if that person were a member of our family.

My experience with Dr. Chatham for Fraxel laser treatments has been truly exceptional. I deeply appreciate his honest approach and the realistic expectations he sets from the outset. After just two treatments targeting sun damage and the lines around my mouth and jaw, my skin not only looks noticeably better but also feels remarkably smoother and more refreshed. The Fraxel has significantly improved my skin's texture, softened those deeper lines, and given my complexion a brighter, more even tone. But beyond these excellent results, what truly sets Dr. Chatham apart is his artistry and his genuine care for his patients. He listens attentively to my concerns and creates a comfortable, trusting environment where I feel completely at ease. His staff is equally wonderful, making every visit a positive and even enjoyable experience. Dr. Chatham is also excellent at creating a comprehensive plan of action, and I'm excited to move forward with the next step he's recommended: dermal fillers to further soften the lines from years of sun exposure. If you're considering Fraxel, dermal fillers, or any cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chatham – you won't be disappointed.
I have wanted a rhinoplasty since I can remember. I have always been bullied for my nose. I searched high and low for the best surgeon. I’m from Lexington and had multiple consultations with local surgeons, surgeons in Louisville, Cincinnati, and New Albany. After meeting with countless surgeons, Dr. Chatham is who I chose. From our very first meeting he put me at ease. He’s easy to talk to and is very knowledgeable and realistic. I wanted my nose to look exactly like my original nose just smaller in every way. That is literally word for word what I told him and that is exactly what he delivered. People can’t tell I had my nose done. They just look at me baffled and tell me I look fantastic. I have had quite the glow up since these before pictures. The only things I have changed was my nose and added lip fillers and tattooed eyebrows. I have also lost 60 lbs. It was a very slow process for the swelling to go down that included a couple steroid injections, but they were a breeze. The procedure itself was not painful AT ALL. I had no leaking from my nostrils, very little bruising and swelling. I had an open rhinoplasty. I have no regrets.
Dr Chatham and staff go above and beyond to ensure you are well cared for. After my cosmetic procedure they contacted me almost daily to check up on me and ensure no issues until my follow up. I highly recommend Dr Chatham for all of your cosmetic needs!
Dr. Chatham put me at ease the very first time I met him. I had been going through the decision to get a rhinoplasty and was absolutely so glad I set up a consultation. My entire surgery and recovery went smoothly and honestly it shocked me how well it went. There’s not one thing I would change about the way I went about this. We had many appointments and continue to have check ins and i’m more than happy with the results. My advice to anyone who is doubtful, would be to just set up a consultation and talk to him. He will run you through every possibility and will never push you into a decision, he will be there to support you in every way. I’m so glad Dr. Chatham did my surgery and i’d go through this all over again if it meant he was my surgeon. Very professional and takes pride in his work.
Dr Chatham is beyond wonderful. Gives his honest opinion and is professional. I did laser for rosacea management and have done two treatments thus far after failing oral and topical treatments. Results are amazing and well worth it! Highly recommend
A Plus all around from doctor to every member of his office. Explained everything in great detail. Took time to answer questions. Talked me thru eyelift surgery . Checked on me twice in post op period. No pain. Swelling that was expected that ice packs took care of. Nervous for no reason at all. Very kind and caring. Great skills. Very pleased with my outcome
Very professional place and a very caring doctor that actually stays with patient and checks on them after surgery hard to find that kinda care nowadays. Very please overall with work and will recommend to anyone
dr chatham is always so kind and professional. he takes the time to explain things and answer all of my questions. he goes into detail about things & makes it easier for me to understand. he’s done several laser treatments on my acne scarring with amazing results. he’s done another type of laser on my birthmark on my face that i’ve always been insecure about & it’s gotten noticeably less pigmented. i’ve also gotten botox and filler which always turns out perfect, not too much not too little, he does just the right amount. i won’t ever go to anyone else for any facial treatments. he is the absolute best & does it right every time. highly recommend him to everyone!!
Dr. Chatham and his team of professionals were with me every step of the way! From scheduling, reception, examination, and on to surgery—expert, precise and pleasant (yes, really) to followup. My experience was better than expected and I am so pleased and thankful for the results. Thank you Dr. Chatham, Janet, Faith, and Sunny for your kindness, caring and smiles.
I had an upper blepharoplasty in his office last week. I was very nervous before I went but I took a Valium a hour before my procedure and then had local numbing and I didn’t feel anything at all. Dr Chatman is very professional, explains everything as he is doing it. Very gentle and has excellent bedside manners. His staff was amazing too.
Good question. When there is extra upper eyelid skin obscuring the lid margin and creating a heavy appearance (sometimes it feels 'heavy' too) then upper lid blepharoplasty often helps this by trimming away extra skin. Forehead lift surgery to elevate brows is sometimes needed and this is usually more extensive with regard to anesthesia and scope of surgery. First glance suggests there is sufficient space betwee the lids and brows to allow an upper eyelid blepharoplasty to be sucessful. An in- person exam is always more helpful. Good luck!
Very often our eyelid anatomy is a combination of our heredity, bone structure and age. Lower eyelids can become 'baggy' when orbital fat begins to come forward, usually in our adult years. But bone structure of the midface/cheek can exacerbate this. So lower eyelid surgery can be helpful to reduce the unwanted fat, but midface support using injectible fillers and possibly surgical implants, is often needed as well. 'Caution' is the friend of 'treatment'.
The fractional laser purposely lasers small (less than 1 mm) points while leaving adjacent skin undisturbed. This makes it more comfortable, safer and leads to quicker healing. Depending on what energy level that is used, healing can be longer or shorter. Generally we see about 4 days of downtime with our patients. Typically by day 5 skin looks pink, resembling a day if the sun, so patients can resume most activities.
Once the deep (phenol) peel has created new skin, we consider that new skin to be like a new baby's skin. We want to protect it from unwanted UV radiation as much as possible. So use pf sun block which contains zinc is your every day companion, especially when engaging in outdoor activities like jogging, tennis, golf, swimming, etc.
While some superficial peel solutions can be safely applied to skin not on the face, the deeper peels needed for optimal skin rejuvenation are usually not safe These do wound the skin and depend on optimal skin structure healing for success. Non-facial skin usually does not have the capacity for optimal healing and scarring risks are much higher.
