There is a great misconception that plastic surgeons have a magic wand that can make miracles happen (lift the breasts without scars, perform a facelift with no incision, etc).  In order to move skin or tissue, incisions have to be made and sutures have to be placed.  Everyone heals differently.  For the majority of patients, the incisions from breast lifts have excellent results.  In the majority of cases, we use dissolvable and buried sutures which leave little or no external marks.  However, there has to be an incision.  

Hi!

We now close all wounds internally, so there are no suture marks across the scars.

  But there certainly are scars with most breast lifts (occasionally, you can do an internal lift).  Most women need a lollipop scar.  Almost nobody needs the old fashioned "anchor" scar for a lift.
