I was recommended tennis racket method FTM top surgery. Why would this be considered over others? Do I have options? (Photo)

He stated this method would be "an incision under the areola and extending a little beyond on each side, like a tennis racket (or a spoon)." I was sent this link for visual: www.researchgate.net/figure/Tennis-racket-method-A-Preoperative-design-with-racket-form-B-Lumpectomy-and_fig5_223974981 I prefer to have minimal scarring because I am prone to keloid development (I have 3 on my shoulder currently). Looking for other method options.
