Breast Questions....
It is called the "lollipop" cut. Vertical line and then around the areolar. That is what is very typical with a large lift. Many have this type of lift. Do you scar with keloids?

I don't scar well either but not what they would call keloids. You're right you have to have the lollipop cut or the shape will be really bad. It really makes a great result. The scar hopefully for both of us won't be too unsightly.

This link shows a keloid. My sister gets them and they are much bigger than the ones she is showing here. A keloid is the over growth of scaring. I had scars that looked exactly like that the op and my ps said they are not keloids. I just scar thicker than most. A keloid looks like the picture I found online.
I am not trying to be argumentative but it is something I discussed at length with all 4 plastic surgeons I consulted with. The 3 I didn't use and the one I did. In fact, my Lapband scar was purple and thick even 3 years out.

I think it is common but it's important that your surgeon is skilled and familliar with the procrdure. I bet you will have no trouble finding someone in your area.
