In Dr. Chet Mays's own words

How Dr. Chet Mays describes their own approach, from their TikTok posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I’m here to guide and support you through the process with ZERO judgementTikTok ↗
  • The doctor is sensitive to the issue of plastic surgeons pointing out other areas of a patient's body beyond their initial concern.TikTok ↗

Technique

  • It's where we actually use your muscle to camouflage the upper part of your cleavage. So it goes over the implant like this, and it gives you a nice soft fullness to your cleavageTikTok ↗
  • A lot of times we're coming above the muscle or subfascial to give more of an augmented look to your breast cleavageTikTok ↗

Technology

Consultation

  • I would never pick out any other area of your body because that's not what I do. I'm just here to listen and come up with a plan for youTikTok ↗
  • Mays Plastic Surgery does not point out other areas of a patient's body that need work.TikTok ↗

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$3,078

Payments

50

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Chet Mays received $3,078 across 50 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MOTIVA USA, LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
