WHO IS THIS FOR

YOU WANT TO ENHANCE YOUR BODY WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING HOW.

If you have been considering breast augmentation but the idea of visible scars has held you back, you are not alone. Many women want fuller, more proportionate breasts but do not want to trade scarring for shape. Traditional breast augmentation incisions leave marks on or around the breast that can be visible in swimwear, intimate moments, or simply when you look in the mirror.

Dr. Ching's scarless technique solves this problem by placing the incision where it naturally hides: in the crease of the underarm.

WHAT SCARLESS BREAST AUGMENTATION HELPS WITH

Increasing breast size with no visible scars on the breasts

Improving breast shape and proportion

Correcting breast asymmetry (different sizes for left and right when needed)

Restoring volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations

Enhancing naturally small breasts

Elevating mild to moderate breast drooping

HOW IT WORKS

YOUR SCARLESS AUGMENTATION JOURNEY

◾ STEP 1: BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION

Connect with Dr. Ching's team to schedule a private consultation. Discuss your goals, ask questions, and begin planning.

◾ STEP 2: YOUR PERSONALIZED PLAN

Dr. Ching evaluates your anatomy, discusses implant options (type, size, placement), and creates a customized surgical plan. He addresses asymmetry, proportions, and what will look most natural on your frame.

◾ STEP 3: THE PROCEDURE (APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES)

Dr. Ching makes a small incision in the natural crease of each underarm. Using the Keller Funnel® for no-touch implant placement, he positions the implants and verifies symmetry with you in the seated position before closing. Absorbable sutures and skin adhesive are used. No suture removal appointment needed.

◾ STEP 4: STREAMLINED RECOVERY

No chest wrapping. No pressure garments. You can shower the same day. Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days. Dr. Ching's team provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support.

◾ STEP 5: YOUR RESULT

Natural, proportionate breast enhancement with no scars on your breasts. The small incision in the armpit crease typically fades and becomes very difficult to see over time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ's

What is a scarless breast augmentation?
A scarless breast augmentation uses the transaxillary technique, where incisions are placed in the natural crease of the underarm instead of on or around the breast. This means there are no scars on the breasts themselves. The armpit incision typically fades and becomes very difficult to see over time.
How is this different from a traditional breast augmentation?
Traditional breast augmentation typically uses incisions under the breast fold (inframammary), around the areola (periareolar), or through the belly button (TUBA). All of these leave scars on or near the breast. Dr. Ching's transaxillary technique avoids breast scarring entirely by using the armpit crease.
Will there be any scar at all?
There is a small incision in the natural crease of each armpit. This incision is closed with absorbable sutures and skin adhesive, and typically fades significantly over time. There are no scars on, under, or around the breasts.
How long does the procedure take?
The scarless breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately 40 minutes. You go home the same day.
What is recovery like?
Dr. Ching's approach does not require chest wrapping or pressure garments. You can shower the same day. Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support are provided.
How do I choose the right implant size?
Dr. Ching works with you during your consultation to evaluate your anatomy, body frame, and aesthetic goals. He offers a range of silicone implant sizes and profiles. If you have preexisting breast asymmetry, he can use different sizes for each breast to achieve a more balanced result.
What types of implants does Dr. Ching use?
Dr. Ching uses silicone implants, including cohesive silicone gel and silicone soft touch options. He offers both submuscular and subfascial placement depending on what is best for your anatomy and goals. All implant options are discussed in detail during your consultation.
How much does scarless breast augmentation cost?
Pricing is customized based on your individual treatment plan, including implant type, size, and any additional procedures. Financing is available through Cherry, PatientFi, and CareCredit with 0% interest-free options. Cost is discussed during your private consultation.
Is this procedure covered by insurance?
Scarless breast augmentation is a cosmetic elective procedure and is typically not covered by health insurance. Flexible financing options are available.
What are Dr. Ching's qualifications?
Dr. Shim Ching is a double board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He has 25+ years of experience, 20,000+ procedures, and 11 Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognitions. He has performed over 400 scarless breast augmentations in the past year. Featured in People, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, and The Cut.
I do not live in Hawaii. Can I still have the procedure?
Yes. Dr. Ching's practice regularly serves traveling patients from across the mainland US and internationally, including from Dubai, Qatar, and Kuwait. The team can coordinate planning for out-of-state patients.
What is the Keller Funnel® and why does Dr. Ching use it?
The Keller Funnel® is a device that allows Dr. Ching to insert implants without directly touching them. This no-touch technique is an added safety measure that also allows for a smaller incision. It is considered a best practice among plastic surgeons who prioritize precision and safety.

WHAT TO EXPECT
