Arm lift with only 3/4 long incisions/scars, or full length to the elbow? (Photo)

Asked By:ani6767 in Soere, Viken, Norge

Is this method sufficient, if there is a certain amount of loose skin / fat, near the elbow? (I only have it on left arm) I have seen two different plastic surgeons, and they are of two different opinions. One says that the scar has to go all the way down to the elbow, and the other one says, that only 3/4 long incisions are sufficient, when the skin at the elbow is pulled up towards the armpit, and tightened that way instead. I would really like the shorter scar, but I'm afraid of bulging
