What Procedure Will Help with Excess Skin/fat on Armpits? (photo)

I'm 30 this year and since young, I have excess skin on my armpit as shown on pic. I'm not sure if it's skin or fats. To me, it's just stretchy skin & I don't have flabby underarms.

Could i get help on what procedure should i look at? Thanks!
