Rhinoplasty in Louisville, KY

I can Breath! - The last four months of breathing have been different than the previous 20 years in a healthy and beneficial way. During my collegiate years, my nose was destroyed from an sports accident; it was shattered into 5 pieces and bone fragments were protruding through the skin. Doctors reassembled my nose and I went about my life for the next twenty years; unbeknownst to me, I became accustom to breathing through my mouth. The appearance of my nose had changed, my nose was thicker and the dorsal hump stuck out.Over the past several years I had researched local Plastic Surgeons experienced with Rhinoplasty. My experience with other consultations did not encourage me or made me feel comfortable with proceeding with a rhinoplasty until I met Dr. Chet Mays. He recognized I had breathing issue and suggested I have an open rhinoplasty instead of a closed procedure because of the previous trauma to my nose. Initially I requested a Rhinoplasty to fix the Dorsal Hump and clean up the bone callus. As idiotic as it sounds, I didn't know I had a breathing problems as I had grown accustom to my breathing habits. it has been about 4 months since Dr. Chet Mays fixed my nose, not only did he improve the appearance of my nose, I can Breath! I had grown so accustom to breathing through my mouth, I didn't realize my bad breathing habits and how they were adversely affecting my life. Apparently, I slept with my mouth open, breathed through my mouth while chewing food, could not breath while drinking unless I paused and then breathed trough my mouth, breathed though my mouth while exercising, on and on. Since the surgery my breathing habits have changed drastically and I can state my quality of life has change beneficially for the better in regards to breathing. After the surgery Dr. Chet Mays explained to me the bone fragments from the previous injury had deviated my septum in multiple places and increased the dorsal hump; the bone callus had narrowed the nasal cavities. He explained how the Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty were preformed and how he resolved the issues.I'm thankful of his compassion, skill set, experience and education, I can tell he cared and he fixed my nose.I am grateful for his effort!

Love Dr. Mays! He is an amazing surgeon!! - Dr. Mays is a true blessing! Before my facelift procedure I had a great deal of loose skin on my neck due to weight loss. It was affecting my self confidence; there was no way to hide it. I came to see Dr. Mays because he came highly recommended. Dr. Mays along with his staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable! I knew instantly that he was the doctor that I would have surgery with.He suggested that I have a lower facelift with fat transfer to the face to fix my excess skin in my neck and jowls and loss of collagen. My results were beyond my expectations! My loose skin on my neck is gone! My face is no longer saggy. Best of all I am happy with my reflection in the mirror. I have more self confidence now as a woman in her 60's then I've had in a long time! I would truly recommend him for any cosmetic procedure!!

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 will be back.

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.
