Is Breast Lift on One Side Worth 2 Different Aerola Scars? (photo)

I'm having 375cc Round High Profile Implant placed, with the peri-areolar incision. I'm also scheduled to have a lift on my left breast. The asymmetry really bothers me. Will the different incision around my aerolas look worse then my nipples being at different heights. The left nipple is just 0.5 inches lower. How successful are lifts at correcting asymmetry? Would you recommend the lift? Or will I be happier if I just do the implants with a inframammary incision. Which incision is best?
