Q: Does breast lifting alone leave suture marks and scars?
A:
Most mastopexy procedures leave some type of scar. The minimum scar would be around the areola but most of the time, a scar from the areola to the crease is required. "Suture marks" are usually not an issue as deep absorbable sutures don't leave marks. The result of a lift is to move the nipple/areola back to its normal position and reshape the breast to make it more "perky".
