Does breast lifting alone leave suture marks and scars?

Breast lifts are performed to elevate the nipple and areola and to tighten the lower pole skin of the breast to give it a better shape and tone.  There are scars from this of course but they are worth it for the benefit if it is done well.  Railroad track marks along the scars are from poor suture technique and leaving external stitches in too long.
