What causes scars to widen after surgery? Going for a revision surgery.

Ddrr123
What are the reasons scars stretch or widen after surgery (specifically breast lift) 1. Surgical technique? 2. Pressure/tension from the lift? 3. Improper scar maintenance? Those are the most common answers I've seen but what causes the widening and how do I avoid it from happening again during a second revision surgery?
