If I Get a Second Breast Lift Will The Incisions Be The Same?

CT43
I had a breast lift a year ago after I lost about 60 pounds. Since then, I have continued to lose another 15 pounds or so and have been really leaning out. Once again, I am unhappy with my breasts and want another lift, possibly a small implant put in when i am done losing weight. I had a full breast lift, with the anchor scar. When I get it relifted, do they have to open the scar underneath the breast again or can it be done with a smaller second scar?
