Arm lift scare -- will I ever be able to wear sleeveless shirts again?

Before and after photos amazing....but oh, that scar. Recall seeing a 65 yo woman with a scar that had faded but skin puckered slightly, but conspicuous. I'm 58, history of weight fluctuations. Does the scar show only when arms are lifted high? I tend to talk w/ my hands -- worried I still won't be able to wear short sleeves ever again. Thoughts?
