If you have a minimal degree of breast ptosis, a smaller lift will be needed to fix it. The circumaerolar is an effective technique specially when an implant is added. The crescent or semi-areolar is less effective and works in minor cases. This is very technical, so I would not worry about it and let your board certified plastic surgeon advise you based on his clinical exam.
