What incision is best for a brachioplasty? Inner arm or back of the arm?

Muriel
I gather that the incision for a brachioplasty can be on the inner arm or the back of the arm. If the latter, is the scar dead centre down the back of the arm or more to the side where the inner arm meets the back of the arm
