Arm Lift Incision...can It Be Placed in the Armpit? (photo)

Mimi877
I have an armlift scheduled in August and I wanted to know if the incision can be done by the arm pit horizontally or if it has to go from the armpit vertically to the elbow? I want to have this procedure but I am terrified that my arms will worse with the scars...
