Is a mini arm lift a good solution for removing stretch marks near the armpit? (Photo)

mathematical
I do have "bat wings," (Picture 1), but I think that's normal for a woman nearing 40, so I don't mind too much. My concern is the wrinkly texture of my stretch marks when my arms are at my sides (Picture 2). This makes me ashamed to wear anything sleeveless. I love to dance I'm longing to wear all the strappy numbers everyone else wears in dance competitions! The long scar from a normal arm lift seems like too much of a tradeoff, so would a mini arm lift solve my problem?
