Visible scars after gynecomastia surgery are uncommon with the most common approach, which would include a short incision along the edge of the areola and perhaps a very short (1/4") incision elsewhere--I make a second incision near the armpit, which is nearly impossible to find afterwards.  From your height and weight description, I would guess that your surgery would involve an approach of this nature.  So unless you are genetically predisposed to bad scars, I would guess you should be ok.
