Hi,

Any time a surgeon makes an incision, it leaves a scar. Our goal as plastic surgeons is to leave scars which are cosmetically acceptable.  Many different incisions are used for breast lift, but they be an incision just around the areola, a lollipop incision (around the areola with a vertical extension downward), or an anchor incison (lollipop incision plus an incision in the crease at the base of the breast).  The choice of incision depends on the amount of nipple-areola droopiness and whether an implant is used.  Virtually all plastic surgeons close the incisions with sutures below the skin so as to avoid ugly scars or suture marks.

Your best bet is consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what type of incisions would be best for you.  Hope this helps.  Best of luck.
