Breast Lift with Internal Support Using Sutures, Flaps Etc; What Should I Look For?

Hi, I'm very interested in the breast lift procedures that involve creating an internal bra or support system. Is this a common procedure and are the results as long lasting as one that only incorporates a re draping of skin. Finally what markers should I look for in a good breast lift?
