Mini arm lift WITH or WITHOUT lipo? (Photos)

hascgauajanmama
I have a lot of skin laxity in my upper arm and forearms, but the main issue is the crepey skin by my armpit area. I was recommended a mini arm lift but some surgeons are not recommending liposuction and said it would make my results worse and cause even more loose skin. When I touch and pinch my arm skin right now it wrinkles and isn’t taut. I only want the mini arm lift for minimal scarring but should I do it with some lipo or without and do skin excision only?
