Dr. Ching offers you a choice of incision areas and techniques. He clearly explains the options and why one incision location may be the best suited for you based on your cosmetic goal and body type. Dr. Ching is one of the few plastic surgeons in Hawaii who specializes in the endoscopic transaxillary technique – sometimes called the “no scar on the breast” procedure because the incision goes in the underarm area.

Although the post-surgery process typically follows a common pattern, your unique qualities and those of your procedure influence your recovery as well. Some of these factors include your age, body shape, and the surgical technique used for inserting your breast implants. For example, placing breast implants underneath the chest muscle can cause pain and swelling, and therefore may increase recovery time. Implants placed over the muscle may cause less pain and swelling. However, the correct surgical technique should be selected based on the patient’s unique characteristics, rather than the time for recovery.
Dr. Ching discusses each step of the recovery process during your initial consultation and provides detailed instructions to follow after your surgery. It’s important that you know what to expect to help ensure the best possible results:
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shim Ching is one of Hawaii’s most renowned physicians for aesthetic procedures of the face, breast, and body. His attention to detail, skill, and mastery of surgical techniques produce remarkable, natural-looking results.
There are some steps you can take before the surgery that will help the recovery process go smoother, as well:
The differences between breast lift and breast augmentation procedures can be confusing. Both procedures focus on the appearance of the breasts, but they address different concerns. A breast lift elevates breasts that are sagging due to natural aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or other factors. It changes the shape and form of your breasts, and raises the breasts’ position. In some cases, a breast lift can be combined with augmentation to simultaneously elevate and increase the size of the breasts.Breast augmentation only adds volume to the breasts. If you have mild breast sagging, implants may provide the appearance of a subtle lift, but moderate to severe sagging cannot be corrected by inserting implants without a breast lift.
Yes. Breast implant revision procedures require a plastic surgeon such as Dr. Ching, who has the expertise needed to perform what is typically a more complicated surgery than the initial breast augmentation. If you have concerns about the results of a breast augmentation performed by another surgeon and are experiencing complications, please be sure to clarify when you schedule a consultation with Dr. Ching.
